Ever feel like you’re doing all the right things but still not getting the recognition you deserve? This week, we sit down with powerhouse PR maven Brandi Sims, founder of Brandinc PR, to unpack how confidence, clarity, and a whole lot of courage helped her break the mold—and build her own agency from the ground up. Brandi shares her journey from being underpaid and overlooked to becoming a sought-after communications expert helping others own their narrative and show up with purpose.   You’ll hear Brandi’s take on how to actually build confidence (hint: it’s not what you think), why positive self-talk matters more than you realize, and what it really means to get “game ready.” This one’s full of gems for anyone ready to stop shrinking and start showing up.   Today we cover:

• Brandi’s journey from underpaid VP to six-figure entrepreneur in under a year
• Why “faking it till you make it” might be the first step to real confidence
• How affirmations and prep work can change the game before any big moment
• The importance of ongoing learning when showing up as a confident leader
• Brandi’s top advice for showing up strong in business and in life
