    How to Show Up When You’re Not Feeling It

    Welcome to Fame-Ready! This week, Katrina Owens gets real about what it looks like to run a personal brand-based business when you simply do not feel like showing up. After weeks of being sick, feeling disconnected from content creation and questioning the noise of the online business world, Katrina shares what she is doing to slowly find her spark again. Personal branding is not about creating a bigger, bolder or more polished version of yourself online. It is about getting people on board with who you actually are, how you treat people, what you believe and the perspective you bring to your work. And sometimes, building that brand means learning how to keep moving forward even when the person behind it is having a hard season. You’ll learn: • Separate yourself from the business when you need to. Sometimes the CEO has to show up even when the person behind the brand does not feel like it. • Focus on the next small step. You do not need to do everything at once. Decide what showing up can realistically look like today. • Reconnect with why your work matters. Remembering the results and opportunities your business creates can help bring back your spark. Building a personal brand is not always butterflies, rainbows and perfectly polished content. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is show up honestly, take the next step and trust that your spark will come back. Tune in to this episode of Fame-Ready for an honest conversation about navigating a rut, staying visible through challenging seasons and finding your way back to the work that lights you up.

    What Spain Taught Me About Slowing Down

    Welcome to Fame-Ready! This week, Katrina Owens shares the Spain recap she did not expect to give. What was meant to be a dreamy trip through Ibiza, Mallorca and Barcelona became an unexpected lesson in slowing down, releasing expectations and rethinking what it really means to make the most of an experience. After getting sick midway through the trip, Katrina realized she was putting pressure on herself to maximize every moment and capture content simply because she had invested the time, money and energy. Instead, she learned that not everything needs to be productive, shared or turned into content. You’ll learn:• Release the pressure to maximize every moment. An experience does not have to go according to plan to still be valuable.• Not everything needs to become content. Your personal brand can feel personal without sharing every part of your life.• Let unexpected experiences clarify your priorities. Sometimes a change of plans reveals what you value most about your time, relationships and lifestyle. Not every experience needs to be optimized to be worthwhile. Tune in to this episode of Fame-Ready for Katrina’s honest Spain recap and the unexpected lessons she is bringing home with her.

    The Secret Behind Coca-Cola’s Success and What It Can Teach You About Personal Branding

    Welcome to Fame-Ready! This week, Katrina Owens shares the business and branding lessons she took away from an unexpected visit to the World of Coca-Cola in Atlanta. As one of the world’s most iconic brands, Coca-Cola offers powerful lessons for entrepreneurs who want to build a personal brand with lasting recognition and impact. From small beginnings to investing boldly and leveraging PR, Katrina explores why building a recognizable brand takes time, belief, and a willingness to treat your ideas like valuable assets. She also challenges entrepreneurs to stop letting small numbers define their potential and start building with big brand energy. You’ll Learn: • Starting small doesn’t mean thinking small. Even iconic global brands like Coca-Cola had a starting line. • Your ideas and intellectual property are valuable business assets. Meaningful business growth often requires investing capital before the outcome feels guaranteed. • PR and partnerships build trust with new audiences. Long before influencer marketing existed, Coca-Cola used celebrity endorsements to create recognition, credibility, and alignment.  Building an iconic brand doesn’t happen overnight. By embracing the starting line, investing in growth, and intentionally getting in front of new audiences, you can build the recognition and authority required to create something much bigger.

    Welcome to Fame-Ready! This week, Katrina Owens shares her keynote from Big Brand Energy Live 2026, The Seven Deadly Sins of Visibility, and gets to the heart of what really keeps ambitious women from becoming more visible. It is not your content strategy, your website or your talent. Often, it is the fear, shame, comparison and self-doubt that show up when you finally admit how big you want your life and brand to become. From owning the dreams you have been afraid to say out loud to using envy as information, letting people witness your transformation and choosing action over endless inspiration, Katrina breaks down the internal barriers that can quietly keep you playing small. This episode is your permission slip to stop hiding behind what feels realistic, embrace the version of yourself you are becoming and take the next brave step towards the opportunities you really want. You’ll learn:• Own what you want. Say the dream out loud and give yourself permission to pursue it without shame.• Stop hiding in busy work. Move beyond planning and preparation and take action on the opportunities you truly want.• Let yourself be seen becoming. Share your growth and transformation instead of waiting until everything feels polished or complete. Your next level is not waiting for you somewhere outside of yourself. She is already there, underneath the fear, shame and self-doubt, waiting for you to become visible enough to meet her. Tune in to this episode of Fame-Ready now and discover how to move past the seven deadly sins of visibility, own your biggest ambitions and take action on the life and brand you are ready to create.

    How to Make the Most of a Slow Season in Business

    Welcome to Fame-Ready! This week, Katrina Owens gets real about something entrepreneurs do not talk about enough: slow seasons. Instead of treating a quieter period as a sign that something is wrong, Katrina shares why seasonality is a normal part of business and how she is using the extra white space to rest, reset and prepare for what is coming next. From prioritizing her health and taking guilt-free time away to planning Big Brand Energy Live 2027 and creating space for future PR opportunities, Katrina breaks down how a slow season can become one of your most valuable seasons.

Use the extra white space to plan the projects and opportunities you want to create next.• Build momentum early. Pitch PR, speaking and partnership opportunities now to set your future self up for growth. If business feels quieter than usual, do not rush to fill the space.
