Why Building a Personal Brand Matters

Do you dream of writing a book, public speaking, or being a leader in your community or industry? Then you need to build a personal brand. Establishing a personal brand can also help you in your business or career by helping you stand out from the crowd and can help if you plan to pivot in your career.

Personally for me, I come from the beauty industry and for many years most people only knew me as a professional makeup artist. When I decided that I wanted to pivot into the coaching industry I knew that I needed to pivot my personal brand. That took planning and time but it worked out and I was able to build my coaching business.

In business your branding is your logo and what colors you use, but your personal brand is who you are, what you stand for, and the impact you want to make in the world. We have to be conscious of how people perceive us and that is a big part of what personal brand mapping is. We work on creating your legacy and reverse engineer that to help you create your vision and goals so you know exactly what to do each step of the way.

If you’re interested in building your personal brand for your business or career, let’s set up a virtual 1:1 class! To book your your class go here to send me a message to get started!

"I Am Free to Be Me" Children's Book

Introducing my new children’s book “I Am Free to Be Me”!

This has been a work in progress for awhile and I’m so happy to finally have it out in the world. I wrote the poem about the power of using our imagination and my sister is an amazing illustrator, so being able to collaborate with her was really fun! Last week I got to read it to my youngest daughter’s class as well as the other Kindergarten classes at King’s Grant Elementary in Virginia Beach. How cute are they?!

It is available on both Amazon and Barnes and Noble websites. We are happy to come read the book and speak at schools in-person or virtually as well as any bookstores. This book is so much fun to read to kids and to groups. We have really enjoyed creating this book that teaches kids about using their own creativity and imaginations to be, do, or have anything they desire.

Pure Positive Energy Meditation (1 minute and 30 seconds)

This meditation is so easy and anyone can do it, even if you’ve struggled with meditation in the past. You can do it for 1 minute and 30 seconds or do more, it’s totally up to you.

Start by sitting comfortably in a quiet space. Imagine in your mind something you love unconditionally, that you have no negative thoughts or feelings about.

Your image can be of a loved one, a pet, a place, or something you love to do. Think about it using your 5 senses (what do you see, hear, taste, touch, and smell?) to really ground yourself in the feeling. Once you are in the feeling of pure love, close your eyes, and place your palms on your heart chakra at the center of your chest.

(* Start your timer now if you wish for 1 minute and 30 seconds.)

Breathe in through your nose filling your lungs with air, hold for a few seconds, breathe out fully through your mouth.

Repeat this 5 times keeping the image(s) in your mind.

Once you are done deep breathing, continue to breathe normal and keep the images in your mind. If your mind wanders continue to bring it back to your images.

When your timer goes off, slowly open your eyes and look all around you.

You are radiating pure positive energy.

This is your true nature. This is who you are and who you are meant to be.

Continue radiating pure positive energy as long as you can through out your day.

Come back to the meditation any time you like.

If you do this meditation please let me know in the comments how you feel and how it has helped you.

With love and light,

Kim

What is Our True Purpose?

When I first started on my spiritual journey I believed that our purpose was to connect to a higher calling. I believed that meant that I needed to pivot in my career to serve others through coaching. As I’ve gone deeper on my path I realize that we can be doing anything, it doesn’t matter what our occupation is, we can always choose to be aligned with our true purpose.

This has been a very freeing revelation on my journey as I no longer feel like I have to upend my entire life to be in alignment. Our purpose has nothing to do with our occupation, it’s to live our lives to the fullest. To expand our awareness, to connect with the beauty of the world, and to enjoy our limited time here.

If a person is living a miserable life they are not connected to their true purpose. Most often this will lead to stress, anxiety, and dis-ease in the body.

Are you living the most awesome and expanded version of yourself?

Do you wakeup and feel excited for your day?

Do you marvel at the beauty and enjoy every day for the gift that it is?

If you don’t feel like this everyday that’s totally okay but it’s the people who never feel like this that I want to help reach. Even though I know that it doesn’t matter what my occupation is, I still feel my most fulfilled when I am coaching.

If you’re not where you want to be and you’re searching for a sense of purpose in your life, take a deep breath and slowly release it. Look around you, look out a window, place your hand on your heart and know that you have a purpose. It doesn’t matter what you’re currently doing, if you’re feeling a sense of a higher calling within you, that is Source Energy calling you for expansion.

You don’t have to quit your job this second to move towards the calling, you can do it right here and now. Know that you are worthy, that you are valuable, and you do have a purpose. The first step is to become aware and then the inner work can begin.

With love and light, 

Kim
