84. Where Am I Still Hiding The Identity Leak Costing You Clients, Confidence & Cash
DEC 9, 2025
84. Where Am I Still Hiding The Identity Leak Costing You Clients, Confidence & Cash
SHOW DESCRIPTION This episode is a mirror, queen — and honestly, it’s one I had to hold up for myself first. After Be You Brand Live, I caught myself doing the VERY thing I coach women out of… hiding in plain freaking sight. If you’ve been posting, “showing up,” or doing all the things but still feel invisible, diluted, or low-key disconnected from your own power? This episode is the line in the sand you didn’t know you needed. We’re talking identity leaks, invisible content, mission-divorced visibility, and the subtle self-abandonment costing you clients, confidence, and cash — without you even noticing. ✨ CONNECT WITH ATI 🔥 JOIN THE CHOSEN METHOD MASTERCLASS Your official activation into unapologetic visibility, power, and identity. 👉 https://atigbranding.thrivecart.com/chosen-method-masterclass/ Free?

Before anyone chooses you, you must choose yourself — visibly, loudly, unapologetically. Your mission requires a higher standard of visibility than you’re giving it. Offers don’t sell themselves — YOU sell them through repeated, powerful, embodied messaging. Your full truth is your authority. Editing to be palatable kills your brand. You can’t activate clients from a place where you’re not activated. 🔥 QUOTABLE MOMENTS “Most women hide in plain sight. They’re posting, networking, doing ‘all the things’… but none of it carries power.” — Ati “Before anyone chooses you, you must choose yourself.” — Ati “Your conviction is the only thing that’s truly unique about your brand.” — Ati “You cannot think your way into power. You have to feel it — and then show up from it.” — Ati 🕒 EPISODE TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – Why this episode needed to happen 01:45 – The visibility hangover after Be You Brand Live 04:20 – The subtle ways women hide without noticing 06:30 – Posting vs. being seen 08:40 – When your mission deserves more than your current visibility 10:20 – Checking the box vs activating your audience 12:00 – Testing your message vs watering it down 14:00 – The identity leak I found in my own brand 16:20 – Fear of peers + fear of being fully chosen 18:20 – Repeating strategies that don’t work 20:50 – The 17-touch rule for buying psychology 22:45 – “Would you hire the version of you the world sees right now?” 24:30 – Embodiment, power, and identity in business 26:30 – Rapid-fire journaling prompts 29:00 – The CHOSEN era begins 30:20 – Join the CHOSEN Method Masterclass 👑 ABOUT YOUR HOST Ati Grinspun is your unapologetic Personal Brand Whiz and visibility activator behind the Be You Brand™ movement.

83. How to Win When Everything Fails: Lessons from the Be You Brand Live
Thirteen days after Be You Brand Live, Ati records from her car and tells the real, unfiltered story behind what went down: from missing AV teams to power outages, food poisoning, and on-stage chaos. This is a raw, honest reflection on event planning, crisis management, and the kind of resilience it takes to lead through uncertainty. Resources Mentioned Be You Brand Live Revival (Oct 17 11am PST) via  Zoom — comment “REVIVAL” on Ati’s Instagram to join She Is Made For More by Cristal Jacobo https://www.cristaljacobo.com/she-is-made-for-more-live (October 24th-25th) Somatic Experience with Emily Rose – Embodiment and sensuality through movement NLP “Anchor” Exercise (Casino Chips) – Using physical anchors for mindset and manifestation Highest Self Hypnosis Meditation Breathwork & Tapping Tools – Ati’s daily nervous system regulation go-tos CONNECT WITH ATI Connect with me: Instagram: ati.grinspun Website: https://atigrinspun.com/ Ready to build a personal brand you are proud of: DM ME BRANDED on IG to immediately access my BRAND TO BANK 40 minute training where you will uncover WHY and WHERE you are stuck and how to start making progress towards your first 100k year .

The behind-the-scenes chaos that made Be You Brand Live unforgettable. How to stay calm when everything you planned falls apart. Why community and quick thinking matter more than perfection. The mindset shift that turns breakdowns into breakthroughs. What real resilience looks like in front of 100 people. How chaos became the biggest transformation of all. Key Takeaways Event planning is emotional warfare — no amount of preparation guarantees perfection. Leadership isn’t about control; it’s about presence. Who you are in chaos defines your growth. Community saves you. Relationships built on trust and values will show up when things fall apart. Your nervous system is your greatest business asset. Learn to regulate it through movement, breath, and music. Transformation often hides in the breakdown. Every challenge points toward expansion.

82. The Inner CEO: Building The Leader Behind The Brand with Dr. Laura Miner
Join Ati as she sits down with her longtime mentor and friend, Dr. Laura Miner, to explore what it truly means to become the inner CEO of your business. Laura reveals the science-backed framework that transforms overwhelmed business owners into confident leaders, sharing why systems and strategy fail without the crucial third element - self-leadership. From overcoming dyslexia and barely graduating high school to earning her PhD, Laura's journey proves that building the leader behind the brand starts from within.   CONNECT WITH ATI Ready to build a personal brand you are proud of: Free: ✏️Take the profitable personal brand quiz https://atigrinspun.com/quiz/ Ready to get massive Clarity on your personal brand: Get my Personal Brand Clarity Masterclass HERE Looking to Stand out ( on and off social media) get the Stand out Masterclass HERE 📲Book a discovery call with Ati for the Be you Brand academy , 1:1 intensives and more https://calendly.com/atigrinspun/discoverychat Connect with me: Instagram: @ati.g.branding Website: https://atigrinspun.com/ Personal branding strategies for female entrepreneurs FB community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/personalbrandingforwomenpreneurs RESOURCES MENTIONED Be You Brand Live Event - https://atigrinspun.com/beyoubrandliveevent/ T. Harv Eker's "Secrets of the Millionaire Mind"  Laura's Self-Leadership Edge Course  Laura's Newsletter Peak Potentials Training Company (referenced) Chat GPT for Self-Dialogue - Mentioned as a brainstorming tool GUEST BIO Dr. Laura Miner is a self-leadership expert with a PhD who has spent decades studying what makes some people succeed while others stall. From barely graduating high school with a 1.9 GPA due to dyslexia to becoming a sought-after speaker and trainer, Laura has worked with thousands of entrepreneurs as a lead trainer for T. Harv Eker's companies and now helps business owners become their own inner CEOs through science-backed self-leadership strategies. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS The hidden reason why 50% of people in the same program get results while others don't The three pillars that determine whether you succeed or stay stuck in your business Why clarity comes from action, not thinking (and how to stop overthinking your way to paralysis) The surprising truth about burnout and overwhelm that most entrepreneurs miss How to transform tasks you hate into fuel for your mission using perspective shifts KEY TAKEAWAYS Self-leadership has three pillars: How you think (constructive thought patterns), how you act (behavioral strategies), and how you motivate yourself (natural rewards) Information without transformation is useless - consuming content feels productive but doesn't create change Clarity comes from doing, not thinking - action reveals the next step when overthinking keeps you stuck Your "why" must be deeply personal - surface-level motivations like "making sales" won't sustain you through challenges Small actions compound - one class can lead to a PhD, one piece of content can change someone's life QUOTABLE MOMENTS "Information is not transformation. Information alone does not go anywhere." - Laura Miner "Clarity comes from doing. It doesn't come from thinking." - Laura Miner "Who you are is how you lead. And if your business is not aligned with who you are, and if you are not authentically aligned with who you are, it prevents you from being able to lead." - Laura Miner FIND LAURA MINER Website: lauraminer.com LinkedIn: @LauraWMiner Newsletter: Available on her website Book: [PLACEHOLDER FOR BOOK TITLE AND LINK] EPISODE TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – Welcome and Laura's backstory as Ati's mentor 05:30 – What is self-leadership and why it matters 12:15 – The three pillars: Think, Act, Motivate 18:45 – Why overwhelm and burnout happen (lack of clarity) 25:20 – The inner dialogue tool for better decision-making 32:10 – Becoming your inner CEO and leading yourself 38:40 – Motivation strategies that actually work 43:15 – Laura's transformation stor

81. How to Pitch Yourself to Speak at Events (and What Not to Do)
Four weeks, five weeks… who’s counting? 😅 After running our Be You Brand Live speaker contest, I’m breaking down exactly what made applications a YES vs. a no-go. In this episode, I give you a simple 90-second pitch template and the 3-part checklist event hosts (like me!) use to decide who gets the mic—so you can get booked with confidence, clarity, and that BYB energy.

Why following directions signals professionalism and respect for the stage. The way your on-camera energy predicts how you’ll hold a room. How to connect your offer to your talk so speaking leads to clients, not just applause. The step-by-step framework to repurpose your 90-second pitch for podcasts, panels, and conferences. Quotable Moments “Your story is powerful— but unless you connect it to the audience’s transformation, it’s just a story.” – Ati “If you can’t stick to 90 seconds in your pitch, I can’t trust you with 20 minutes on stage.” – Ati “Be the obvious fit: Value.
