Grab a snack—or a crystal—and settle in. Let me take you on a journey through how I’ve been blending astrology, spirituality, and strategic branding together to create something meaningful, marketable, and, most importantly, authentic.
Building a meaningful personal brand is more than just a collection of social media posts or a polished website. It’s about unmasking, evolving, and creating a true extension of yourself. As your personal brand transforms with you, it becomes not just a representation of who you are but a more effective way to grab the attention of those who need you most. Like a pot of perfectly cooked oxtails, it takes the right ingredients, patience, and maybe a whisper from the ancestors when it comes to the seasonings to make it just right.
Step 1: Start With the Soul (Yes, Really!)
It’s my understanding that we’re made up of mind, body, soul, and spirit. And my soul? She’s out here trying to have the best possible soft-life human experience. To fuel that energy, I start every day with gratitude. Whether it’s thanking God for my eyesight or for my loved ones, these moments of acknowledgment set the tone.
If I don't start my day with gratitude, I read Iyanla Vanzant’s daily devotionals or lean into a YouTube meditation (silent or guided). My spiritual practices—journaling, meditating, and the occasional conversation with my tarot cards—aren’t just “woo-woo” rituals. They’re my secret sauce for staying centered, positive, and intuitively aligned.
Why It Matters
Practicing gratitude daily reinforces a positive mindset, which radiates through every part of your life—including your brand. When you check in with yourself regularly, you align your actions and messaging with your true self. Journaling, for instance, helps me unpack my brain when it is feeling a little all over the place and reflect on what’s working and what’s not. It’s like a daily mental health check-in that says, “Hey, I see you. Let’s get aligned.”
Knowing yourself better leads to self-acceptance, and that authenticity resonates with others. Clarity builds trust, and trust builds the kind of “social capital” that turns followers into a loyal community. Trust me—your audience can feel the energy you bring, and it all starts with how you treat your soul.
Step 2: Sprinkle in Strategy (Because, Let’s Be Real, We’re Not Just Vibing Here)
Let’s connect the spiritual dots to strategy. I’m spiritual, yes—but I’m not reckless. After tapping into my soul, I channel my inner Capricorn to get to work. That’s where brand archetypes come in.
Using my top archetypes, the Sage and the Explorer, I plan to continue growing my personal brand so that it is rooted in curiosity, wisdom, and a sense of adventure. These archetypes will shape my tone of voice, messaging, and even the priorities I've set for my digital product business (coming soon). They’re like a compass, helping me stay focused on my bigger purpose without veering off track.
Why Brand Archetypes Matter
Without a clear framework, your personal brand can feel disjointed. Archetypes—based on Jungian psychology—provide structure and consistency, ensuring your brand voice aligns with your goals. For me, this clarity has transformed how I create content pillars, which act as the foundation for my messaging. Here are example content pillars:
Mental Wellness: A nod to your passion for helping others thrive.
Leadership Insights: Sharing lessons from over 20 years in your field.
Authentic Living: Sharing truthful moments of the journey, wins, and challenges.
Every piece of content I create ties back to my content pillars. If it doesn’t align, it gets cut—like that ex who no one liked from the beginning. Consistency across platforms builds trust, and trust builds a personal brand that stands out.
Step 3: Trust the Intuition of Your Authentic Self
Here’s where things get deep: trusting your intuition. For years, I didn’t even realize I had intuition. It took therapy, journaling, and a deep dive into Human Design to help me tune in. Now, as a Manifesting Generator, I’ve learned that if something isn’t a full-body “yes,” it’s a no. This principle has been a game-changer for my life, career, and personal brand.
Takeaway
Your intuition is one of your most powerful tools for building a brand that aligns with your higher self. But trusting it takes practice. If you’re struggling with self-trust, start by listening to your body’s signals and paying attention to what feels right. Combine that with frameworks like Human Design or even decision-making tools like the Nash equilibrium (yes, strategy meets spirituality again), and you’ll find yourself making choices that truly serve your mission.

Step 4: Let Your Personality Shine (Because Bland Brands Are for Boring People)
If you think spirituality means walking around like you’re auditioning for a yoga retreat, think again. My brand isn’t about being perfect (as I'm healing from perfectionism); it’s about being real. Some days, I crush my goals. On other days, I’m in my pajamas, eating fistfuls of Lesser Evil Homer's Blend popcorn (not sponsored, just obsessed with the flavor) and brainstorming content ideas. Both are valid.
Why Personality Matters
Your audience connects with you, not just your expertise. So, let your quirks shine. For me, that means referencing astrology (since I'm an astrology girlie now), laughing at my mistakes, and working to share the messy middle of my journey—not just the polished results. When people see the human behind the brand, it builds deeper connections and keeps them coming back. This is what I know for sure!
Step 5: Build a Legacy, Not Just a Meaningful Personal Brand
Let’s zoom out a bit here. Your personal brand isn’t just about the now. It’s about the future. What kind of impact do you want to leave? How do you want to be remembered?
For me, it’s about creating something that reflects my values, uplifts others, and stands the test of time. Whether I’m mentoring, sharing marketing insights, or writing blog posts like this one, I’m always thinking about the bigger picture.
Why Legacy Matters
Focusing on legacy elevates your brand from being a fleeting trend to a lasting source of inspiration. It’s not just about achieving personal success—it’s about impacting your community and leaving something meaningful behind.
Final Thoughts: Your Brand, Your Journey
Blending spirituality and strategy is truly about building a personal brand and creating an authentic and fulfilling life. It’s about showing the world who you are, what you stand for, and why it matters—all while staying true to yourself.
So, whether you’re meditating on your life’s purpose, crafting content pillars, or just trying to figure out which crystal will best serve your goals today, know this: you’ve got this. Your brand can reflect your soul, which will be something no one else can replicate.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, my Kanban board is calling. And yes, we will have glitter stickers in due time. Don’t judge.
