🎙 The Kiki Kirby Podcast: Evolving in a Heart-Centred Way Series 3 | Episode: The Courage to Evolve Brand Psychology - Building with more Heart

Caroline Gardner

✨ Welcome back to another episode of The Kiki Kirby Podcast – Evolving in a Heart-Centred Way.

This is our space for soul-led conversations with people living, working, and evolving with heart, courage and purpose.

In this episode, I'm joined by the incredibly inspiring Caroline Gardner, Founder of Studio Gardner – an all-female creative agency supporting women to build impactful, beautiful brands rooted in authenticity and strategy. Caroline's journey is anything but linear – from psychology graduate to teacher, Pilates instructor, and now creative business founder – she embodies what it means to live a "squiggly" career path.

Together, we explore:

💡 Caroline's bold leap from teaching to entrepreneurship🧠 The role of brand psychology in modern personal branding🌿 How to balance variety, creativity and motherhood🔥 The real truths behind burnout, self-doubt, and starting from scratch💬 The power of being seen, storytelling and embracing your evolution🎨 Why people don't just buy services they buy you

This honest, vulnerable and empowering conversation is filled with wisdom for anyone feeling stuck, scared to pivot, or unsure if they're "qualified enough" to pursue what they love. You'll leave feeling deeply encouraged to show up as yourself, even when the road ahead is unclear.

Topics we discussed:

• Embracing a squiggly career
• Creating Studio Gardner from a spark of curiosity
• Navigating transitions and identity shifts
• Brand psychology and why "being more you" matters
• Finding courage in community, connection, and impact
• The link between self-awareness, branding and wellbeing
