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

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 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
