Nuggets of branding wisdom to help you attract and connect with your dream clients
Over-explaining your offer, getting compliments instead of clients, or endlessly tweaking your visuals?In this episode, I'm sharing why your branding problems might not actually be branding problems – they might be theming problems.Because when your brand is missing a clear, strategic theme, it can feel flat, disconnected, and forgettable – no matter how “on-brand” it looks.We'll cover:
I'm diving into how a theme can be the difference between sounding like everyone else… and becoming the one your dream clients actually remember.We'll chat about:* Why looking polished isn't enough in a crowded market* How theming helps you differentiate without shouting* A real client story – The Two Lauras and their “jeans and a jumper” vibe* How to find a theme that makes your brand unmistakably youThis isn't about picking a quirky metaphor and hoping for the best. It's about using a theme to position your brand in a way that's clear, interesting and different from the competition.
Theming can be a powerful tool for standing out and creating emotional connection — but only if it actually supports your brand's strategy. I'll walk you through the real reason my first food theme flopped (spoiler: it wasn't the theme's fault!), what shifted when I finally gave my theme a job to do, and how you can avoid the confusion and frustration I went through.If you've been feeling tempted to pick a “cute” theme, or you've tried one but it's not landing the way you hoped, this episode will help you rethink your approach — and show you how to build a brand that doesn't just look good, but actually works.Plus, I'm inviting you into my free 4-day Knead a Theme challenge, kicking off May 5th — to help you discover a theme that brings your brand to life and drives your business goals forward.

In this episode, I'm diving into why your offer needs its own identity — not just a cute name or a tab on your website, but a full-on vibe that makes it instantly recognisable and easy to sell. I share the difference between how Brand Kitchen and Offer Oven landed with my audience, what changed when I built a world around my offer, and how that shift created more buzz, ease, and excitement in my business.You'll also get a reflection prompt to help you figure out whether your offer's having its own moment — and what to do if it's not.
In this episode, I'm joined by the brilliant Emilie Nutley, a Financial Strategist and Money Coach. We chat about how to pay yourself properly, why building a buffer is more important than obsessing over five bank accounts, and how to stop treating your profit like Monopoly money.
