    What really changes during the first trimester of pregnancy, especially when you’re also running a business?

And yes… I also share the baby’s gender at the end of the episode!

    72. How I Built a "Human" Brand in the Age of AI

    Branding fear is everywhere right now, especially if you’re thinking about rebranding, refreshing your website, or expanding your marketing in 2026. In this episode, I break down why the fear of “losing yourself” in branding is real — and why it’s also completely avoidable. I share insights from my early career at TBWA and my years working in brand strategy to explain why branding must come before marketing if you want consistency, trust, and results. I walk through real-world examples of branding done well, like Walmart reconnecting with its heritage, and branding that missed the mark, including Vera Bradley losing alignment with its core audience. I also talk about the growing role of AI and why your human essence will be the biggest differentiator moving forward. This episode is for entrepreneurs who want to grow and evolve without becoming another template, and who want a brand that actually feels like them. In this episode: Branding is the foundation — marketing won’t work without itYour unique essence is your strongest differentiator in 2026AI makes human connection more valuable, not lessConsistency builds trust; inconsistency erodes itDo the identity work before investing in design or a rebrand FREE TRAINING - Get Recognized: Build a Brand That Feels Like You JANUARY 29 @ 10:30am PT / 1:30pm ET Sign up here: https://samanthafackler.myflodesk.com/getrecognized 👉 Samantha shares 3 quick tips weekly in her 1-minute newsletter—straight from the messy, magical middle of entrepreneurship.
