In this week’s Power Hour, I’m joined by brand strategist and founder of Beechwood Farm Brand Consulting, Abby Feinberg, for a value-packed 30 minutes you won’t want to miss. 🙌

Abby has spent over a decade shaping experiences for powerhouse brands like Nike and Illumina and now she’s bringing that big-brand clarity to small and mid-sized businesses. 🥳

We dive deep into:

• Why clarity beats being “the best”

• The difference between brand strategy and brand activation

• How to define what makes you unmistakably you

• What to do when your business evolves but your brand doesn’t

• How to use your internal brand as your business’s bouncer 🪩

Plus, Abby shares one of the best metaphors I’ve ever heard for personal branding!

🕒 As always, take the next 30 minutes after the episode to reflect and work on your brand using Abby’s actionable prompts!

This week on Bubbles & Biz, I’m joined by transformational coach, somatics practitioner, and founder of the Metamorphosis Collective, Jakob Gricar. 💫

If you’ve ever felt stuck despite years of personal development, or found yourself hustling your way into burnout, this episode is for you!

Jakob shares his incredible journey from growing up in Slovenia, through spiritual immersion in India and the jungles of the Amazon, to building a multi-six-figure business rooted in nervous system regulation and deep healing. We dive into how dysregulation shows up in entrepreneurs, why “watering the roots” leads to effortless success, and how somatic awareness is the missing piece for many high performers. 🌱

We also talk about limiting money beliefs, subconscious patterns that keep us stuck, and the truth behind sustainable high performance. Jakob’s wisdom, presence, and clarity are a gift and this conversation will leave you feeling inspired and grounded. ✨

So grab a glass and let's chat! 🥂

Welcome back to our Wednesday Power Hour! 🥳

This week I’m joined by Candace Dudley, podcast guesting coach and host of the Better Brave podcast and we’re diving into how you can strategically use podcast guesting to grow your visibility, authority, and business. 💥

After years in the classroom and juggling motherhood, Candace knew something had to change. Podcasting became her creative outlet—and ultimately the launchpad for a thriving business and brand.

In this quick but jam-packed episode, she walks us through how to:

• Tackle mindset blocks (bye imposter syndrome 👋)

• Craft compelling podcast speaking topics

• Pitch hosts the right way (hint: skip the generic emails!)

• Avoid common mistakes guests make

• Turn guesting into a long-term strategy that builds community and trust

At the end, Candace even gives you a simple homework assignment you can tackle in the next 30 minutes to get started right away!
