This podcast is about integrating tried and true strategies that we know actually work - in life, business, self-help; with the science of unconscious programming & the magic of manifestation. I’m a certified life and business coach and a professional photographer who built a multiple six figure business with a degree in Psychology while being a mom to three little kids. I had zero business training, so I dug in, learned the methods and now I’m passing that all onto you! I’m a self described brain geek and have certifications in things like RRT, NLP, Neuro-encoding and Amen clinic brain training and I’m always interested in hearing what you have to say on the topic of brain rewiring too. In this podcast, our conversations range from photography how to’s, systems and business strategies to more woo-woo stuff like energy healing, human design & the basics of manifestation - because well, I’m just kind of all over the place. I know that most creative entrepreneurs ARE a little neuro-spicy so I want to fire up your super charged brains and show you what’s possible.

Grab the Stand Out & Sell Out VIP ticket HERE  10 Spots ONLY for the Custom Hypnosis Track - based on YOUR Human Design and Astrology - snag one HERE Show Notes: Your brand is telling people something right now. The question is whether it's saying what you think it is. In this solo episode, Renee pulls directly from a live roundtable conversation at the Stand Out and Sell Out summit and from real questions that landed in the community afterward — because what she found is that every question, no matter how different it looked on the surface, was asking the same thing underneath. What's covered in this episode: Why every branding question eventually becomes an identity question — and how to tell the differenceThe real reason your content isn't converting (and why fixing the strategy won't fix it)What it actually means to build a brand around a "credibility stack only you have" — and why naming it isn't the first step How to hold a positioning line in an industry that uses the wrong language — and whether you win the term or name a new categoryWhy performing your values out loud is different from standing for something — and how to know which one you're doingThe one question most creative entrepreneurs have never sat with long enough to actually answerThis episode is for the creative entrepreneur who is doing everything right and still feels like something is off. Who has tried the frameworks, hired the coaches, redone the website — and still feels like the brand is not quite landing. This conversation is about why. And what is actually underneath it.
