  • Personal Branding IS Personal: HOW TO Create A Brand You Love | Ep 101

    In this episode, Lydia sits down with Carly Schroeder, her close friend, creative director, designer, and co-founder of House of Creatives—for a real conversation on what it actually takes to build a brand you love.

    They dive into:
    - How rebelling against the corporate world sparked Carly’s path to entrepreneurship

    - The importance of clarifying your message before diving into design
    - How a 360-degree approach to branding builds real trust with your audience
    - Why knowing your target market is key to creating a brand that speaks to them
    - And how the process doesn’t have to be long or overwhelming to rebrand—when you follow a clear framework

    Whether you’re just starting out or rebranding, this episode will help you approach your brand with more clarity, confidence, and personality.
