Building a Soul-Led Brand: Lessons From 10+ Years as a Spiritual Entrepreneur
I wasn’t looking for a guru. I just wanted to quit my day job.
At 23 years old and blissfully naive, I figured I’d start a business…
But somewhere between designing logos and replying to emails, I found myself in the soul-shattering ayahuasca trip known as ‘entrepreneurship.’
Here’s the biggest lesson I’ve learned in 13 years as a spiritual business owner and brand designer…
Behind-the-Scenes: My Spiritual Branding Design Process
Spiritual branding isn’t like “normal” branding.
(Shall we call it “Muggle branding?”) 🤔 😂
In essence, spiritual branding is an embodied process of connecting to your inner truth and translating that into your business.
Spiritual branding is about reflecting the energy of who you are and what you’re here to do, through the vessel that you’re channeling your higher purpose through: your brand.
When your brand aligns with your authentic truth, it emits a frequency that people feel. It’s undeniable. And it can’t be imitated. (That’s the real “key differentiator!”)
If You Like THAT, You’ll Love THIS: The Essential Business Resources You Need To Know About
Recently rediscovering the Pure Moods album took me down memory lane of 1990s nostalgia and inspired me to apply one of the most notorious marketing campaigns of that era to modern day business.
First, if you missed the cultural phenomenon that was Pure Moods, allow me to set the scene for you…
The year is 1997. The TV is on as you’re lounging on your inflatable armchair filled with confetti (naturally). Suddenly, the energy in the room shifts as chanting emits from the television and a deep voice invites you to “Imagine a world where music carries you away…”
Across the screen you see a montage of a unicorn, ocean waves, a newlywed couple. You’re mesmerized and find yourself agreeing with the narrator that—yes, Pure Moods *is* the perfect soundtrack for YOUR way of life.
Whatever *that* mood is, I’m just as into it today as I was then…
Your Year-End Check: How to Know If Your Business Is On a Healthy Path of Growth
Even though I don’t feel that the new year truly starts until the Spring Equinox, I recognize that the end of the year offers us an opportunity to reflect and consciously close out a cycle.
With the end of 2024, I’ve been reflecting on this past year in my business—the challenges, the learnings, the gifts…
Beautiful new branding work was created. Boundaries were strengthened. Business partnerships were formed. My branding program was birthed.
But how do you determine if the year was a success and if your business is on a healthy path of growth?
There are a few simple check-ins I do at the end of the year to see if my business is in alignment for nurturing, sustainable growth.
3 Types of Logos for Your Spiritual Business (plus design inspiration!)
Looking for the perfect logo design for your spiritual business?
Your logo is a symbol that communicates the frequency and essence of your business.
Choosing the right logo is essential for creating a brand identity that feels aligned, inspiring, and meaningful.
But did you know there are different types of logo designs?
There are three main kinds of logos you should be aware of. Each of these designs offers benefits and choosing the right one will help you connect with your ideal audience and communicate the soul of your business.
In Your Soft Girl Era? 🌸 Here Are 4 Ways to Invite Feminine Flow Into Your Business
We’ve all seen the #softgirlera memes on the internet, glorifying the “anti-grind”…
And I’m all about it.
Stepping into my soft girl era a few years ago felt like a deep, slow exhale—releasing the pressure valve of always doing, hustling, and achieving. (In other words, operating out of an imbalanced masculine energy.)
After navigating a health crisis, I knew something had to change my work lifestyle. So when I rebuilt my business, I prioritized my health. And that meant balancing my masculine (yang) energy with more feminine (yin) energy.
There’s now a softness in how I move through my day within my business, allowing for more ease, rest, and alignment. It’s a shift from pushing and striving to trusting and flowing.
Effortlessly Attract Clients With the Feminine Energy of Your Business
Let’s first align on something: We all have masculine and feminine energy within us, regardless of our gender.
In a spiritual sense, masculine energy (yang) is assertive and productive, while feminine energy (yin) is receptive and creative. We need both for a balanced business and life.
Many entrepreneurs focus on yang qualities in their business—sales, marketing, and “the bottom line,” while overlooking yin qualities like integration, connection, and alignment.
These intangible attributes can’t be easily measured, yet have a very real impact on the success of a business. (And not to mention, the overall health and happiness of the business owner.)
Why Is Branding Expensive? (And Why You Shouldn’t Skimp On Your Brand)
Branding is often a step small business owners skim over… they hire a designer on Fiverr or a friend to design their logo + website and think they can cross “branding” off their to-do list.
I get it… it feels like there are six jillion things to juggle when you’re starting your business and branding feels like a luxurious, nonessential expense.
Even as a brand designer, I overlooked my own brand for years. And I kept burning out from trying to “keep up” in the entrepreneurial hustle. It wasn’t until I invested the time + energy into aligning my brand with my truth that I started seeing massive shifts and momentum in my business—AND felt nourished and fulfilled by the work I was doing. This is true for my clients as well.
Branding is your cheat code for a business that gives to you as much as you give to it.
To me, feeling supported in my purpose by my business is priceless. But in this post, we’ll look at exactly why branding is such a big investment… what goes into the process, why it matters, and what happens when you try to do it on the cheap.
