If you’re someone who is often worried about what other people think of you, of being judged, or being criticized, you are not alone.

We need you to be courageous in your journey to not only building your business but living your purpose.

Happy New Year, beautiful friend. I’m excited to bring the Brand Yourself podcast back to life after a 4-month break and create this new season with fresh eyes and a new intention. As you’ll hear in this welcome back episode, the last quarter of 2021 was especially challenging for me – for a variety of reasons. And it woke me to the truth – I had been pushing myself too hard and gotten to a place where I was resenting the second business I launched in June. And my body? Wow, it made it very clear that I needed to slowwwww way down and be much more protective of my time, energy, and wellbeing. I dive into the details of what happened and what I’ll be doing differently this year in the episode. I also share how my solo episodes will be shifting a bit AND my intention for having more diverse guests on the show – particularly when it comes to worldview. I’m excited to step into this fresh start with you and create a space where you feel inspired to be more you in your life and your business. Big hug, Blair   To l

Gina went from being a broke psychologist to building  a multi-million dollar women’s empowerment and lifestyle brand, Divine Living. She has dedicated her career to helping women connect spiritually, start profitable businesses, create wealth from a feminine perspective, and become highly visible so they can make a global impact. Some of those women include Jen Sincero, who (fun fact!) dedicated her book on money to Gina. Gina believes that there is a Queen in every woman: “Within every woman lives a Queen,” Gina affirms, “And only from the position of Queen can you fulfill your purpose.” So, as you’ll hear in the episode, Gina is such a badass. Her journey to creating the platform she has today took a whole lotta hard work, guts, and faith. Get ready for some incredibly juicy stories. In this episode, we chat about the early stages of her professional life working in the White House and then with Marianne Williamson in her 20’s, her decision to become a psychotherapist and what it looked like to drop that c

Ever felt a bit stumped about what your brand’s core message is? Sit down to write and have no idea how to come up with a great tagline? Trying to integrate multiple things into one cohesive brand?

One Brand Yourself listener shares her struggle to nail her core message as an author with an online shop, and the intention to launch a new service-based revenue stream in the fall.

Ever wondered how to integrate motherhood and entrepreneurship and a full life? Today, I’m pulling back the curtain on the 6 things that have empowered me to juggle it all without burning out. To run my own business, build another one with co-founders, be present for my 2-year-old, have a solid relationship with my husband, and still have time to take care of me too. This idea to open up this was inspired by a conversation I had with a colleague recently who is an entrepreneur and in her first trimester of pregnancy. She asked… “Have ever given people a real behind the scenes peek into how you do all of those things?” And I realized, I haven’t. I’ve shared bits and pieces here and there – on the podcast, on social media, but never in one place with a detailed play-by-play. But I’ve realized that there are people out there who are probably curious because maybe they too want to start businesses or grow businesses, while juggling other things. So, I’ll be breaking this down so you can understand how I’ve made i

In this week’s solo episode, I decided to switch things up. Instead of answering a question from a listener or sharing some key business advice, I’m leading you through a grounded guided visualization exercise to help calm your nervous system and help you connect to your inner wisdom. If you’re feeling frazzled from too much information, too much stimulation, or too much stress, this is sure to help you find your center again and clarify what your right next step is in your business. Whether you’re at a crossroads or need to make an important decision, this exercise will help you honor your truth. This is something I highly recommend integrating into your daily life if possible so that you are firmly rooted within yourself and connected to your intuition and creativity vs. getting knocked off course by comparison or the chaos of the world. So, pop in those earbuds, take a break from the social media, emails and news, and connect within.   To submit your question, visit the show notes.   Follow Me On: Facebook

One of the biggest concerns I’ve been hearing from entrepreneurs for many years is this: What if I exclude people by getting “too specific” with my target audience? If you find yourself stuck here and feel tempted to go broad with your target audience so that you don’t turn anyone away, this episode is for you. Inside I share why getting “too specific” isn’t something to worry about and why it’s so important for your brand and business to choose the audience you resonate with most. If you find yourself wanting to go deeper into this topic, check out episodes 147 and 136 where I share even more about how to choose your target audience wisely, deepen your understanding of them, and craft content and messaging that they feel seem by.   To submit your question, visit the show notes.   Follow Me On: Facebook Instagram

You may have heard the term “intuitive entrepreneurship” thrown around over the past few years. That’s because the approach to business growth is shifting away from being hyper data driven and “competitive” to something that balances out the masculine and feminine. The masculine being the logical and action-oriented side, and the feminine being the more intuitive and creative side. In this episode, I explain my POV on what it means to lead intuitively, what it has looked like for me to lead intuitively to grow my own business, and what you need to practice in order to sharpen your connection to your intuition. If you know you want to take this kind of approach to evolving and expanding your impact as a business owner and lead in a way that feels good and aligned, this episode is for you.   To submit your question, visit the show notes.   Follow Me On: Facebook Instagram

In this week’s solo episode, I share how to create your signature offer. And not an offer that’s basic and like every other coach or service-provider out there, but that’s unique to you. Creating something that isn’t templated, but is based on your experience, your training, and your own transformation is one of the key ingredients for standing out from the crowd and becoming known for what you do. When you don’t have something juicy to offer like this, it becomes challenging to feel clear and confident about what you do, and it also becomes a challenge to market yourself magnetically. So, today I’ll be diving into the key steps to creating the right offer for your business and your audience. I also share more about my business mentorship program Your Wellness Brand. This is my signature method and offering, and I’m currently accepting applications.

This week’s topic was inspired by a conversation I had with someone recently. And that is… how to create an online presence that is a natural extension of who you really are. Where your website, your social media posts, and everything in between feels the same as meeting you in person. As I was chatting with this newbie business creator, she expressed concern that she didn’t know how to do this without being influenced by what other people are doing in the wellness space. This is SUCH a common challenge, and I’m addressing that piece and all of the above head on in the episode. Also, I have exciting news!! My second business baby, pstprtm.com, launched recently. This is a media company and community platform that I co-founded with two other women to revolutionize the postpartum experience. If you’ve been listening to the podcast since early Spring, you knew this was coming. And if you’re new here, then definitely listen to episode 150 where the three of us chat why we came together to create this. If you’re c
