Inspired by Design with Sarah St Pierre

In today's episode I'm chatting with Lindsay Pinchuk, founder of Dear Founder and the woman behind Bump Club and Beyond, the prenatal events company she built from a handful of Chicago meetups into a national brand working with Target, Nordstrom, and every major baby brand you can think of. She sold the business and came out the other side ready to build something different. Now she runs a mentorship and community for women business owners over 40. Lindsay is so raw and real and she truly lays it all out there in today's episode. We get into: How Lindsay hired her first employee before she could technically afford one Why staying flexible with how people work for you (hourly, commission, fractional) let her scale without burying herself in payroll What actually happened during the time of selling her business Why she walked away from Bump Club Her Sweep framework, the exact system she uses to make one piece of content show up on social, her website, email, at events, through partnerships, and in press How to become known for something and tell your story CONNECT WITH LINDSAY http://foundherfiles.substack.com http://www.instagram.com/dearfoundher Learn more about Brand in Full Color: https://solbritestudio.com/services Apply to work with me: https://solbritestudio.com/contact Free Resources: solbritestudio.com/free-resources Connect: Website: solbritestudio.com Instagram: @solbritestudio Pinterest: @solbritestudio Blog: https://solbritestudio.com/blog/ Want to be a guest? → Schedule an interview If you loved this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review the podcast!

In this episode, I am joined by Amy Jones a functional nutrition practitioner and ADHD life coach. We chat about all things neurodivergence, entrepreneurship, wellness, and what it means to build a business around your actual purpose. We also talk about why so many women are diagnosed with everything except ADHD, how wellness advice often misses the needs of neurodivergent people, and why consistency needs to be redefined through the lens of capacity. We chat: Why ADHD is often missed or misdiagnosed in women The gap between knowing what to do and actually being able to do it Why neurodivergent clients may need a different approach to food, fasting, and energy support Amy’s reframe of consistency The “chaos meal” and “always have list” approach to reducing decision fatigue Building a business around purpose instead of external expectations Niching down, being multi-passionate, and creating a brand that reflects your real energy CONNECT WITH AMY Website: AmyjonesnutritionAmy Jones Nutrition | Functional Nutrition & ADHD Coaching | Toronto Instagram: Instagraminstagram.com/amyjonesnutrition Free resource: What to Do When Food Feels Like Too Much.

In today's episode, I am chatting with Carrie Montgomery, the founder of Hypnotic Branding -- a brand strategy approach that treats the nervous system and subconscious as the real architecture of a brand. This episode was truly incredible as we talked about the link between the nervous system and personal branding and how design can really be felt and interpreted through the body. As a designer, I was obsessed with everything in this conversation, especially when it came to how design evokes emotion and how those emotions help buyers make a decision. We talked about how so many founders end up building a brand that is a complete mismatch from who they are as they try to do what is working for others in the industry. We get into why this is, what this is actually telling you about your subconscious mind, and how founders can navigate this. Carrie also walks us through the exact drills she uses to calm her nervous system before getting on camera as well as, some other helpful tips for founders that would rather not be the face of their brand. We cover: How the body holds on to things we experience and how those experiences can affect how we show up in our businesses Why trying to mimic or recreate a brand you admire never works long term How design affects buyers decisions through a felt sense What's actually happening in your body when you're camera shy, and the specific drills she teaches clients to build capacity for visibility How to know if you need a personal brand and what to do if you're a founder who doesn't want to be the face of your brand CONNECT WITH CARRIE https://www.carriemontgomery.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/realcarriemontgomery/ Freebie: https://www.carriemontgomery.com/free-centering-med Learn more about Brand in Full Color: https://solbritestudio.com/services Apply to work with me: https://solbritestudio.com/contact Free Resources: solbritestudio.com/free-resources Connect: Website: solbritestudio.com Instagram: @solbritestudio Pinterest: @solbritestudio Blog: https://solbritestudio.com/blog/ Want to be a guest? → Schedule an interview If you loved this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review the podcast!

Before I sat down to record this episode, I did some reflection on what it took for me to start this podcast or to get to 100 episodes. I used to think the goal was becoming someone who doesn't care what people think, and I don't think that's actually possible or even the point. The real work has been learning to feel the discomfort of being seen in a new, more exposed way and acting anyway. Most of us aren't actually afraid of being seen, we want to be seen, for our work, our impact, who we are, but what we're afraid of is being misunderstood. This podcast has doubled as my own process of self discovery, and my hope was never for you to copy my path or any guest's path exactly, it's for you to hear enough perspectives that you can find your own. Thank you for listening for 100 episodes, there is so much more to come. <3 Learn more about Brand in Full Color: https://solbritestudio.com/services Apply to work with me: https://solbritestudio.com/contact Free Resources: solbritestudio.com/free-resources Connect: Website: solbritestudio.com Instagram: @solbritestudio Pinterest: @solbritestudio Blog: https://solbritestudio.com/blog/ Want to be a guest? → Schedule an interview If you loved this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review the podcast!
