EP 759 2026 Glow Up Protocol: (THE BRAND) How to Create a Magnetic Personal Brand That Matches Your True Self

Your personal brand is not your logo, your colors, or your social media bio. It is the identity you live from every single day. It is the story you tell about who you are, what you stand for, and what you believe is possible for your life.

This episode is the starting point of the 2026 Glow Up Protocol, a six part identity transformation playbook designed for high achievers who feel burnt out, disconnected, and ready to deliberately craft a life that feels aligned instead of draining. This is a completely different way to approach personal growth, because nothing changes sustainably until your identity changes first.

Your brand is the hub of the wheel. It is the center that everything else spins from. Your body, your brain, your business, and your relationship with money will never feel stable if the story you tell about yourself is outdated.
