In this special Summer Series Flip episode, I sit down with my dear friend Stephanie Cartin, co-founder of Entreprenista, for a deep dive into personal branding, refined messaging, and sustainable visibility. We unpack why building a personal brand is more essential than ever in 2025, and I share my step-by-step framework for how to get seen, get known, and get paid—without burning out or chasing the algorithm.

We talk about the real meaning of a personal brand, why clarity and credibility matter more than more followers, and how to own your authority through strategic, story-driven content. I also open up about my own journey—what happened behind the scenes after hitting 7 figures, how I rebuilt with more alignment, and why power content and momentum messaging are now at the heart of everything I teach. If you’re ready to stop playing small, stop performing, and start leading with real resonance, this episode will meet you exactly where you are.

QUOTABLES:

“ Their challenge is that they keep thinking that more followers or just more content creation or this or that is gonna help them get there. But it's really that messaging and really making sure that you are standing out for being known for something specific.” - Julie Solomon

“ I feel like so many times, and even for myself, as founders, like we're really good at building our businesses, but messaging and copywriting, that messaging might not be our area of expertise. It's like we know what we wanna get across and we know what our purpose is, but how do we actually get the right words to be able to actually message what that is?”- Stephanie Cartin
