Okay you guys, today’s episode is a must-listen. I’m sitting down with the one and only Maya Elious, the personal branding genius and CEO of Built to Impact. Maya’s an award-winning business coach who’s on a mission to help overlooked experts build profitable online businesses and attract high-end clients—no fluff, no filler, just real talk.

We’re diving into all things branding, messaging, and high-ticket sales—because who doesn’t want to get paid what they’re worth? Maya drops some major gems on how to define your brand, get specific with your niche (yes, you actually need to do that), and why starting with high-ticket offers is way smarter than messing around with low-ticket stuff when you’re just getting started. Oh, and we also talk about the real mindset it takes to scale and why personal responsibility is the secret sauce to entrepreneurial success.

In this episode, we discuss:

What it really means to have a brand—and how it’s way more than just pretty graphics.
The biggest mistakes people make when building their brand (and how not to be that person).
The million-dollar question: how specific do you need to get with your niche? Spoiler: very.
Why starting with high-ticket sales can seriously change the game.
Messaging that speaks directly to your ideal client’s soul—because anything less is just a waste of time.
The importance of mindset, personal responsibility, and actually doing the work.
How Maya made the jump from solopreneur to CEO and built a kick-ass team along the way.

Whether you're just starting out or ready to scale like a boss, this episode is packed with the kind of real talk and actionable advice you need to start showing up as the expert that you are.

In today’s episode, I’m diving into something that’s been weighing on me—how to find real clarity in your business and why “just keep showing up” is not the vibe anymore. After a big transition back into my business post-maternity leave, I realized I was resisting the clarity I needed to move forward.

In today’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the dark side of the coaching industry. From shady marketing tactics to the "look at me" culture that’s overtaken the space, I’m laying it all out on the table. It’s time we had a real conversation about what’s wrong with the way coaching is being sold and how we can shift the narrative back to integrity, authenticity, and real results. So grab your coffee, because we’re about to get real.
