If your brand looks beautiful but it’s not actually doing anything, as in not connecting, not converting, not pulling people in the way it should, then you’re going to love this episode.

I’m breaking down what it really means to design like a storyteller, and why so many service-based women end up with beautiful brands that still feel a little… meh.

Inside the episode I cover:

• Why your visuals might look polished but still feel disconnected
•  The “your clients are on the couch in their PJs” reality check (and your seven-second window to grab them)
•  How to make your colours, fonts, and photos actually say something
•  The three questions that reveal the real story behind your brand
•  The sneaky traps that water your brand down without you noticing

Your visuals aren’t decoration... they’re communication!

Let’s make them tell the story only you can tell.

If I could go back and start The Fearless Designer brand all over again (knowing everything I know now) there are a few things I’d do differently. Maaaaany things... but lets start with the branding side of things.

Because honestly? This brand has evolved so much. And the version of me who started it was just figuring things out as she went, juggling fear, excitement, and a hundred open design files at once.

So today, I’m sharing the five big lessons I’ve learned along the way, the things I’d double down on, lean into harder, and absolutely commit to sooner if I was starting again.

I chat about:

• Why strategy always comes before aesthetics (even when you’re a designer)
• How showing up as yourself changes everything, even when it’s scary
• The systems that keep your brand consistent
• Why thought leadership beats “just design” every single time
• And the power of letting your brand evolve as you grow

Whether you’re building your brand from scratch or refining what you’ve already built, this episode is your reminder to slow down, reflect, and build smarter.

Because a fearless brand isn’t built overnight.

Got a shiny new idea ready to launch? Maybe it’s a workshop, retreat, or course…

So exciting, right?

And if you’re anything like me, you’ve already been dreaming about how it’s going to look... the colours, the vibe, the visuals that’ll grab attention and make people take notice.

But then you hit that tricky part… you want it to feel new and exciting, without straying so far that it looks like it came from someone else’s brand.

Because launching something new doesn’t mean creating a whole new brand.

In this episode, I’m breaking down how to brand your new offer so it feels fresh, exciting, and totally “you”, without confusing your audience or losing your signature vibe.

We’ll chat about:

• The biggest mistakes people make when branding a new offer
• The three must-ask questions before you even start designing
• How to keep your new offer connected to your existing brand
• Easy visual tweaks that make it pop (without starting from scratch)
• Why consistency is your not-so-secret superpower

If you’re mapping out something new for next year this episode will save you hours (and a major brand headache).

I'm pretty sure you've been playing it safe when it comes to your branding... but honestly, it’s holding it back. Lack of time, can't be stuffed creating posts anymore, not sure what font works, and the list goes on.

Your business wasn’t built to blend in a sea of same same, it was built to make an impact.

In this pep talk, I’m diving into:

• How to bring your values to life through your visuals and content
• Why your design choices might be making you invisible online
• Simple ways to innovate without throwing everything out
• And how to reignite your brand so it feels fun again

This episode is your reminder that being fearless doesn’t mean being the loudest, it means being you, unapologetically.

Think of this one as a creative reset!

Guess what? Your brand already exists. Wild, right? Even if you’ve never touched Canva, don’t have a logo, and your Insta grid is a total mishmash, people are already forming an opinion about you. That’s your brand doing its thing (whether you’ve planned it or not).

In this episode, I'll dive into what that actually means and why “I’ll figure it out later” doesn’t really work when it comes to branding. I’ll share some real-life stories (including my own scrappy beginnings), and give you a few super simple ways to start taking control of the brand people are already experiencing.

We’ll chat about:

• Why your brand is way more than a pretty logo
• How random impressions could be running your brand without you
• Three quick steps to get more intentional this week
• And why bravery in branding is usually about small tweaks, not burning it all down

So if you’ve been putting off working on your brand, this is your gentle but firm nudge. Your brand’s already out there, so let’s make sure it’s saying the right thing.

When you hear the word “bravery,” do you picture someone launching a massive rebrand overnight or strutting onto a stage in front of hundreds of people? Because same. But here’s the truth... bravery in branding usually looks way less glamorous than that.

It’s the tiny things.

• Like finally swapping that five year old headshot for a photo that actually looks like you.
• Or hitting publish on the post that’s been sitting in your drafts forever.
• Or sending that first email to your list after ghosting them for… let’s be honest, years.

That’s the stuff that actually builds your brand. Not the one big, bold move, but the little brave steps you take over and over again.

In this episode, I’m spilling stories from my own business (including the episode I almost didn’t publish), plus real-life client wins that came from those small shifts. And of course, I’ve got three super simple things you can do this week if you’re ready to take a fearless step forward, nothing huge, nothing scary, just momentum-building little actions.

Oh, and because I know sometimes it helps to have a nudge, I’ve even put together a free Fearless Branding Steps Worksheet for you. Download it, pick your brave step, and see what happens when you actually do the thing.

So if you’ve been waiting until you “feel ready” to show up, this is your reminder that done is fearless.

Fonts hey... Those pesky little jerks can be tricky customers, but I promise this episode is going to make things super simple. 

Fonts aren’t just decoration, they set the mood, tell a story, and play a huge role in how people see your brand.

In this episode, I’m walking you through exactly how to:

• Figure out what fonts actually feel like you (in a practical way, not a lame one).
• Pick two fonts (yep, just two!) that balance personality and clarity.
• Avoid the common mistakes that are probably making your brand look DIY.
• Find fonts you’ll love, from free tools to premium gems.
• And my favorite little hack for tracking down a font you’ve spotted online.

By the end, you’ll know how to clean up your fonts, lock them into your brand kit, and finally stop second-guessing whether you’ve “done it right.” And then you're going to stick with them for at least 12 months.... Promise me!!!

I said I’d give you an update in a few weeks… it’s been three months. Oops.

In this follow-up episode, I’m diving into what’s changed (and what hasn’t) since my 40-year-old rebrand began. Spoiler alert: I injured my shoulder, hit pause on everything, and accidentally discovered the clarity I didn’t even know I needed.

This isn’t your typical branding tips episode. It’s an honest catch-up about the messiness of the in-between, resting, resetting, redefining, and realising I want to speak more, coach more, and lean fully into the podcast.

If you’re in that ‘what now?’ phase of your business or life, feeling a little lost, a little tired, or wildly unsure of what’s next, this one’s for you.

Because evolving doesn’t always come with a plan. Sometimes it comes with a forced break, a mindset shift, and a reminder that you are not behind... you are becoming.

So pumped to share with you this episode!

Something that comes up all the time is how do you actually inject more of you into your brand without oversharing, cringing, or turning into a full-time content creator?

In this episode, I’m talking about the real reason people connect with your brand, and guess what, it’s you! Not the perfectly polished graphics. Not the stock photos. You. But I also know how uncomfortable that can feel, especially if you're introverted, private, or just not sure what’s “too much” to share.

So let’s clear a few things up and make this feel a whole lot easier. No pressure, no forced vulnerability, just some really simple ways to bring warmth, energy, and your personality into your content (without sharing what you ate for lunch).

I'll cover:

• Why “being personal” doesn’t mean oversharing
• The difference between private and performative (and how to stay grounded in what feels good)
• 5 simple ways to show more of you in your brand, even if you’re introverted
• Why your values, voice, and behind-the-scenes thinking are way more powerful than you realise
• How to share stories that stick, without turning your content into a confessional

This one’s your gentle nudge (or not so gentle) to stop hiding behind your brand and start showing up in it. Because people want to buy from people and your people are waiting to connect with you.

But here’s the good news! In this episode, I’m breaking down why it feels so hard and how to make it easier.

Whether you’re stuck right in the messy middle, second guessing every branding decision, or just feeling totally disconnected from your brand… This ep is going to help.

I cover:

• The real reason branding feels overwhelming, and how to take the pressure off yourself
• 5 common branding myths that are probably making things harder than they need to be
• What to do when your visuals don’t match your vibe anymore
• Easy ways to get back on track (without burning it all to the ground)
• Practical tips to help you feel more confident and consistent in your brand
