Your “why” isn’t just a feel-good portion of your brand strategy; it’s the thing that keeps your business grounded. It’s how you make sure you’re building something that doesn’t just make money, but actually feels right.

Without it, you’ll burn out, you'll start chasing trends, saying yes to “quick cash” jobs, and taking advice from internet experts who don’t know your business, your goals, or your values.

And then suddenly, your brand won't feel like you anymore.

What we cover in this episode:

• The exact reason I start every client’s brand strategy project by digging into their “why”
• How your purpose directly impacts who you attract (and why you might be pulling in the wrong people)
• The connection between your core values, your offers, and your messaging
• What it really looks like to use your “why” as a filter for aligned decisions
• A behind-the-scenes look at my own brand origin story—and how my brother’s life and legacy shaped my mission to help others live theirs

You don’t need a tragic backstory to have a powerful brand, but you do need a deeper reason.

Whether your “why” is about spending more time with your kids, doing more meaningful work, or helping people like you feel seen... that purpose becomes your North Star.

Once you’re clear on it, your marketing gets way easier and so does saying no to the wrong clients.
