EP 204 - Fall in Love with Short Form Video: Why Short Form Video Is No Longer Optional for Your Business

Brand Your Way to A Million

I'm so excited to kick off this "Fall in Love with Short Form Video" series! If you've been avoiding video or feeling frustrated with your results, this episode is your reset. I'm breaking down why short form video needs to be a non-negotiable part of your business strategy in 2026. This is not just another content task, but actual business infrastructure. Discovery is happening on video now, and if you're not showing up, you're intentionally choosing the harder path to growth. Let's get real about what video is actually supposed to do for your business. I'm sharing how short form video fits...

EP 203 - What Your Audience Actually Wants to See in 2026

Brand Your Way to A Million

I've been deep in analysis mode lately, studying not just my own industry but content creators across platforms, trying to understand what audiences truly want in 2026. The biggest shift I'm seeing? People aren't consuming content just for information anymore. They want information plus perspective. They want to be told what matters, what to ignore, and what deserves their energy. In this episode, I break down the 5 things your audience actually wants to see from you in 2026. 1st is identity-confirming content. This goes beyond "five signs you're ready for X,"and actually mirrors your...

EP 202 - How I'm 3Xing My Audience, Demand & Sales in 2026 (Without 3Xing My Workload)

Brand Your Way to A Million

I'm pulling back the curtain on exactly how I'm planning to 3X my audience, demand, and sales in 2026. I'm also getting real about what I'm stopping, what I'm changing, and what I'm doubling down on. I'll be honest, 2025 was a year of reflection for me. We officially crossed multiple 7 figures in the agency (which is wild to celebrate), but I also realized my growth has been slow and sustainable. And while that's not a bad thing, I'm ready to challenge myself to grow faster without burning out or 3xing my workload. I'm sharing the exact metrics I'm tracking: Audience quality over follower...

EP 201 - Listen to This If You Want to Start a Fresh Social Media Account

Brand Your Way to A Million

It's the New Year and a lot of us are looking for a clean slate. So if you've been thinking about starting a fresh social media account, this episode is for you! Here's the thing: a new account is not magically going to fix problems that live in your brand identity, in your messaging, in your positioning. You don't need a new account, you need a new approach. When you think a new account will save you, that's just avoidance disguised as strategy. You may be feeling like your account doesn't represent who you are now or you've got a case of algorithm resentment. People often suspect...

EP 200 - How to Find 'Your Thing' Online in 2026

Brand Your Way to A Million

If your audience can't really describe what you do from memory, your message is getting lost somewhere along the way. In 2026, it's time to find 'your thing,' and become unforgettable to your audience. 'Your thing' can be based in an identity, an idea, a format, or an experience. Whatever you choose should feel like a natural extension of your leadership style, not a box you get stuck in. Identity based "things" may look like the "feminine CEO," or the "celebrity of your niche." These are archetypes that your audience can automatically associate with you. An idea based approach may look more...

I feel like the real risk of not taking the time to reinvent yourself...

EP 198 - Positional Marketing Will Make You the No Brainer Solution For Your Dream Clients

Brand Your Way to A Million

Everyone is following the same content advice and it's creating a bottleneck in most people's marketing funnels. So how can you actually find what works best for you and your brand? We're seeing templated styles, over-education and under-positioning, and viral coaching loops. Let's break out of that cycle! Your marketing strategy doesn't need to be held at the whim of the algorithm. Like, sure, you need to get seen. But what is happening AFTER you get seen? Are you just going viral and going back into oblivion? We need to nail down your positional marketing to get you chosen over and...

EP 195 - How the "Founder Archetype" Will Grow Your Audience

Brand Your Way to A Million

Content creation is now a non-negotiable marketing skill that every CEO needs to adapt to. So how do you actually grow your audience without feeling like you're cosplaying an influencer instead of being a business owner? We have to start seeing marketing and content creation as 50% of the business. It's literally the main way that most CEOs are growing their businesses these days. So there are 3 main types of posts that I want to expand on today: Big viral moments (brand awareness and brand reach) Mini viral moments (reaching adjacent communities) Micro-viral moments...

More Episodes

If you're constantly asking yourself "what do they want me to say?" instead of "what do I want to share?" you might be building a fake community instead of a genuine one. This episode will help you understand the difference and why it matters for your business.

Today I'm diving deep into the psychology behind content creation and why so many of us end up people-pleasing our way to an audience that doesn't actually stick around. We're talking about the difference between having spectators who clap and leave versus active participants who buy into your essence and stay through your pivots, mistakes, and boundary-setting.

Here's the truth: scared people don't become well-known, and boring people don't get paid. If you're trying to make everyone love you and never want to upset anyone, you'll never stand out or get the visibility you're craving. Your brain literally filters out sameness. It only pays attention to emotion, polarity, and what's different!

I'm breaking down why we cater to fake communities (spoiler: it's often about that inner child need for validation and safety), how to spot whether your community is genuine or performative, and what to do if you realize you've been building the wrong kind of following. Plus, I'm sharing the mindset shifts you need to make if you want to attract people who will stick with you for the long haul.

In today's episode, we're talking about:

The difference between audience and community
How to spot a fake community
The psychology behind people-pleasing content
What makes a genuine community stick around through pivots, mistakes, and changes in your business
How to start building real connection by detaching from metrics
