Over the last few months, I’ve been quietly rebuilding the foundation of my brand and business — not from pressure, but from intention. And today’s episode is a peek behind the curtain of that process with the woman who’s been walking beside me through all of it.

In this conversation, I sit down with Taryn Schroder, branding and web designer behind Madewith Studio and Human Design Reflector, who has been helping me bring my new visual identity to life.

If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to build a brand that actually feels like you, not the version you think you “should” be, this episode is such a great place to start.

We talk about how we met, how Taryn is supporting me through branding myself & businesses, and the emotional side of letting yourself evolve creatively and professionally. Taryn also shares her own journey from corporate life to full-time entrepreneurship, the moment she finally took the leap, and why her Human Design as a Reflector is actually a superpower in her client work.

Inside the episode, we explore:

• What it really feels like to invest in branding as a founder
• How to choose colors, fonts, and visuals that reflect your values and identity
• Why consistency matters more than trendiness for long-term growth
• Taryn’s practical tips for anyone preparing to uplevel their brand or website
• The power of having a partner who believes in your dreams

This conversation is part storytelling, part permission slip. Whether you’re DIY-ing your visuals, preparing for a brand refresh, or simply in a season of expansion, my hope is that it helps you trust your process and remember that your brand is simply an extension of you.

Let it be simple. Let it be aligned. Let it be good.
