You left your career to build something on your own terms. You built it. And somewhere along the way, you evolved past the version of yourself who built it. Now something feels slightly off. Not broken — just misaligned. You're forcing things that used to flow. You're looking everywhere for answers that are only available inside you. That's not a business problem. That's an identity problem wearing a business problem's clothes. "Still in Progress" is for the woman somewhere in the middle of figuring out who she's becoming next. You're not behind. You're not lost. You're still in progress.

    Why Outgrowing What You Built Isn't Starting Over

    Most of us were taught to find our one thing and stay. Build it, commit to it, become it. And then we kept growing. In this episode, I'm unpacking the belief that there's supposed to be one right path, one version of yourself you arrive at and stay. Because if something you've built no longer fits the way it used to, that's not a sign you made the wrong choice. It's a sign you've outgrown it. And those are completely different things. This episode is about reframing what it means to keep evolving past the version of yourself who started. Connect with Brittany Instagram @catescreative.studio Website www.catescreativestudio.com

    How to Know You've Outgrown Your Brand

    You know something's off, but you can't quite name it. Your work has grown. Your brand hasn't caught up. In this episode, I walk through four specific signs that your brand is still speaking for an earlier version of you, and what that gap is actually costing you, using a question I've been sitting with about my own life to get there. If you've been quietly embarrassed to send someone your website, or you keep attracting clients who want to talk you down, this one's for you. You're not behind. You're still in progress.

    When Everything's Fine But Nothing Feels Right (feat. Kendra Jarrell)

    You've built the life you said you wanted. The business. The house. Maybe both, from the ground up. And somewhere in the middle of a completely ordinary day, it hits you: everything is technically right, and nothing feels like it. This week I'm talking with Kendra Jarrell, author of Becoming Home: Self-Discovery Through the Power of Space, about the moment she pulled into her driveway of a brand-new custom home and felt the exact same frustration she'd been feeling in her business. Same tension. Different room. We talk about what that discomfort is actually telling you, why your home has been quietly mirroring every version of you you've ever been, and how the space you live in can become the fastest way back to yourself when your business, your identity, or your life stops fitting the way it used to. This isn't a home organization conversation. It's about what happens when you finally stop pushing the feeling down long enough to hear what it's been trying to say.

    Fixing Yourself vs. Expressing Who You've Already Become

    You've got a list. The health goal, the relationship, the business that's finally thriving. And you know exactly what's on it. You just can't seem to act on it. In this episode, Brittany unpacks a conversation with her coach that reframed the entire way she looks at her own goals, plus an unexpected moment from another podcast that cracked the idea wide open. It's not about fixing what's wrong with you. It's about finally expressing what's already there, and chances are, you've got a version of that same list, whether it's your goals, your business, or the brand you keep circling back to and never quite landing on.

    The Point of View Problem: Why Your Brand Feels Like Everyone Else's

    You left your career to build something on your own terms. You built it. And somewhere along the way, it started to feel a little too safe — competent, capable, and quietly like it could belong to anyone. This episode is about the difference between a business that's efficient and a business that's actually you — and how I stumbled into that realization somewhere between a therapy session, an HGTV binge, and a two-hour wander around HomeGoods. If your brand feels a little too polished and not quite specific enough right now, that's not a sign something's wrong. It might just be a sign you've outgrown the version of the business you built. — Come tell me what part of you has been asking for more room lately on Instagram → ⁠⁠@catescreative.studio⁠ Ready to figure out exactly where the gap is?

    How to Reinvent Yourself When You've Outgrown Who You Used to Be (feat. Kat Griffith)

    Kat spent fifteen years certain she knew exactly who she was. She was a horse trainer, good at it, built for it, in it for life. Then a health crisis in her mid-30s took the plan and flipped it on it's head. What came after wasn't a comeback story. It was a slow, deliberate act of becoming someone new: a licensed clinical social worker, a guide for women in transition, and someone who's still figuring out what her next chapter holds. This is a conversation about what it actually takes to let go of an identity you were sure was permanent, and why the hardest part isn't surviving the thing that breaks you open. It's deciding who you get to be on the other end of it, before you have any proof it'll work. A few things we get into: Why "the decision is the miracle," and how one choice becomes the pivot everything else organizes around Why "survivor" is a chapter, not a title, and what it costs to keep making your past mean something about your future The gravestone question she asks her clients (it's not as morbid as it sounds, and it'll stay with you) If you're somewhere in the middle of outgrowing a version of yourself right now, this one's going to feel less like advice and more like company. --- Follow Kat and her movement, Soulful Ambition, on: Facebook: www.facebook.com/KatGriffithLCSW Instagram: www.instagram.com/soulfulambitions_with_katg/ --- Connect + Work with Brittany: Ready to figure out exactly where the gap is in your branding?

    Brand Inspiration vs. Copying Someone Else's Brand: Where's the Line?

Not to talk you out of inspiration, but to help you see the real difference between being inspired by someone and quietly building your brand on their foundation instead of your own. In this episode, Brittany breaks down: What's actually underneath the impulse to copy someone else's brandThe real difference between inspiration and copying — and where the line isWhat happens when you build on someone else's foundation instead of your ownWhat copying costs you that you can't see right awayWhy you can't decorate a house that doesn't have walls yetWhat to do instead of copying, and how to actually find itThis one's for you if you've caught yourself saving someone else's page for "brand inspiration" more often than you'd like to admit and you're ready to figure out what's actually yours.

    What a Misaligned Brand is Actually Costing You

    How important is your branding, really? It's a fair question. And if you're asking it, you're probably somewhere in the middle: you know something needs to change, you're just not sure if branding is the thing to focus on right now. In this episode, Brittany gives you the honest answer. Not a motivational one. A real one. You'll walk away from this episode understanding: What branding is actually costing you when it's slightly off — in real, tangible termsWhy the "branding doesn't matter" belief exists and when it's actually trueWhat people are deciding in the first few seconds they encounter your brand — and what information they're using to make that callThe difference between a brand that creates signal and one that creates staticWhat changes when your brand finally reflects who you actually areThis episode is for you if you've been in business for a while, you've grown, and something about the way you're showing up just doesn't feel like it's doing your work justice anymore. Your brand is making a first impression every single time someone encounters you, whether you're there or not. It's worth getting it right.
