Becoming Visible: PR, Mindset, and Personal Branding with Kayley Hamilton
Why do so many health coaches stay invisible, even though they want to grow their practice, impact lives, and attract clients who truly need them? In this powerful episode, Erin Power sits down with Kayley Hamilton — former Hollywood red carpet reporter turned PR agency founder — to unpack the mindset, identity shifts, and practical strategies health and wellness coaches need to become confidently visible. Kayley shares her story of going from "the shy girl" who couldn't speak up in class to interviewing A-list celebrities, winning Emmy Awards, and eventually launching a PR agency that helps wellness experts amplify their mission. She breaks down her signature 3 E's Framework for overcoming self-doubt, shifting identity, building a magnetic personal brand, and stepping into the future version of yourself who is ready to be seen. If you struggle with imposter syndrome, fear of visibility, or uncertainty about how to talk about your work publicly, this conversation will feel like a breakthrough moment. Episode Overview 0:00 Why Visibility Matters for Health Coaches 3:40 Kayley's Story: From "Shy Girl" to Emmy-Winning Reporter 12:15 The 3 E's Framework for Becoming a Higher Version of Yourself 22:10 Overcoming Limiting Identities and Self-Perceptions 31:05 Using Imagination and Visualization to Rewire Success 39:20 Kayley's Daily Practices for Confidence and Alignment 48:55 Why Humility Holds Coaches Back from Serving Their People Key Concepts in This Episode The 3 E's Framework for Identity Shifts Expanders Find people living the life you want to show your brain what's possible. Experience Use imagination, visualization, and daydreaming to "rehearse" the future you. Embody Act as the higher version of yourself today rather than waiting for "someday." Visibility as Service, Not Ego Kayley reframes visibility as an act of service — not self-promotion. Coaches block their purpose when they hide. The clients who need them most can only find them if they choose to be seen. Mindset Over Mechanics Imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and fear of judgment keep most coaches stuck. Kayley explains why imagination, self-concept, emotional regulation, and daily alignment practices matter more than tactics when building a brand.
