    Ep.014 ft. Andreea Ucar - Leading Through Brand Strategy

    Andrea Uchar, founder of luxury branding studio Jove, joins The LeadHer Shift to share how client demand moved her from a Gen-Z aesthetic to premium, minimalist brand strategy—and what that pivot taught her about self-trust, boundaries, and leading a business with integrity. We cover her early management role at 21, navigating burnout during the pandemic, switching careers (logistics → accounting → audit → branding), and building a studio with her husband that now explores AI-powered stock visuals. Andrea breaks down the difference between visuals and true brand psychology, why pricing reflects depth of work, and how women can move past self-doubt by “getting uncomfortable and trying anyway.” If you’re redefining success as freedom, purpose, and creative impact—this conversation is your nudge. Key Takeaways: • Why Andrea rebranded Jove from Gen-Z trends to luxury & premium positioning • Early leadership at 21, pandemic pressure, and learning to set boundaries • Career shifts across logistics, accounting, audit → creative entrepreneurship • Success as freedom vs. only money; firing misaligned clients • Branding beyond Canva: research, target psychology, colour strategy, emotion • Building with a partner + launching an AI stock-image platform • Advice for women: try before you’re “ready,” trust yourself, embrace discomfort

    In this episode of The LeadHer Shift, I sit down with Ciara Lewis, Founder & CEO of Fierce & Fearless, to talk about what it really takes to lead in spaces that weren’t designed for you. Ciara shares how she went from a quiet girl in school to a woman holding her own—and outshining—male peers in the high-pressure world of auto sales. Her story is layered with moments of resilience, realignment, and revelation. From navigating male-dominated workplaces to launching a powerful women’s magazine (coming July 2025!), Ciara’s leadership journey is anything but linear. But what stood out most? 👉 Her unwavering decision to show up anyway 👉 Her belief that vulnerability can be curated, not performed 👉 And her reminder that confidence isn’t always loud—it’s lived We talked about: Overcoming environments designed to dim your lightBeing underestimated—and overdelivering with graceWhat her grandmother taught her about picking battlesWhy the “quiet ones” are often the fiercest leaders of all If you’ve ever questioned your worth in a space that didn’t see you… If you’ve ever chosen to stay when it felt easier to shrink… If you’re ready to be fierce and fearless on your own terms… 🎧 This episode is for you. Take a listen to learn more about Ciara, and how a movement is being birthed as we speak. Show Notes Below: Alian Ollivierre [00:00:00]: Welcome to the Lead Her Shift podcast.

Alian Ollivierre [00:02:14]: Right. Ciara Lewis [00:02:14]: And going. I started working young, so my first job was a clown.

Alian highlights that true authority and presence begin with the work within—and invites listeners to join her and a community of trailblazing women for strategies, stories, and support as they navigate their own leadership journeys.
