Instead, she added a whole new layer to it — a DIY branding course for solopreneurs who want to become their own creative directors.</p><p>Here’s the twist: Kristina once believed that branding had to be done-for-you to be effective. Like many experts, she thought DIY design couldn’t hold a candle to professional work. But over time, she challenged her own belief — flipped it upside down, actually — and built a program that now serves an entirely different group of buyers she once thought she couldn’t help.</p><p>You’ll hear:</p><ul><li>Why changing your stance doesn’t mean abandoning your expertise</li><li>How Kristina created her DIY program without ditching her high-end branding clients</li><li>What she had to learn (and unlearn) to go from expert designer to brand educator</li><li>The subtle difference between coaching and consulting—and why she identifies as a brand tutor</li><li>How to follow your curiosity and serve new audiences without losing your core identity<br/><br/></li></ul><p>If you’ve ever felt pulled toward a new offer, format, or audience—but questioned whether it fits inside what you’ve already built—Kristina’s story is the gentle nudge to explore what’s possible.

But over time, she challenged her own belief — flipped it upside down, actually — and built a program that now serves an entirely different group of buyers she once thought she couldn’t help.</p><p>You’ll hear:</p><ul><li>Why changing your stance doesn’t mean abandoning your expertise</li><li>How Kristina created her DIY program without ditching her high-end branding clients</li><li>What she had to learn (and unlearn) to go from expert designer to brand educator</li><li>The subtle difference between coaching and consulting—and why she identifies as a brand tutor</li><li>How to follow your curiosity and serve new audiences without losing your core identity<br/><br/></li></ul><p>If you’ve ever felt pulled toward a new offer, format, or audience—but questioned whether it fits inside what you’ve already built—Kristina’s story is the gentle nudge to explore what’s possible. This one’s a must-listen if you’re asking yourself: Can I really do both?</p><p><b>EPISODE  SHOW NOTES👇</b><br/><a href='https://heathersager.com/episode240'>https://heathersager.com/episode240</a></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/520627/fan_mail/new">Send me a note</a></p><p>📣 <b>WORK WITH HEATHER  </b>→ <a href='https://heathersager.com/'>https://heathersager.com/</a><br/><b><br/>📧  Get the Hint of Heather NEWSLETTER </b>→<b> </b><a href='https://heathersager.com/newsletter'>https://heathersager.com/newsletter</a><br/><br/><b><em>Connect on Social:</em></b><em><br/></em><b>Instagram</b>: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/theheathersager/'>https://www.instagram.com/theheathersager/</a><br/><b>LinkedIn</b>: <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/heathermsager/'>https://www.linkedin.com/in/heathermsager/</a><br/><b>YouTube</b>: <a href='https://www.youtube.com/HeatherSager'>https://www.youtube.com/HeatherSager</a><br/><br/></p><p><b>SUBSCRIBE &amp; REVIEW</b></p><p>If this episode hit home, I&apos;d be so grateful if you took a second to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts.

We’re all works in progress, but the insights you’ll take away from our conversation will propel you forward on your journey to becoming a more confident speaker.<br/><br/>In this episode, Sydnea and I discuss:</p><ul><li>The imposter syndrome struggle experts face</li><li>One mindset shift which hugely dials down your nerves</li><li>The messy middle of getting your first talk done</li><li>A strategy to keep your talk focused even when you go off on a tangent</li><li>To script or not to script</li><li>Why critiques are a crucial part of improvement, even though they feel scary</li><li>The joy of the speaking snowball effect</li><li>How getting comfortable with discomfort leads to growth in your personal life</li></ul><p><br/>EPISODE  SHOW NOTES👇<br/><a href='https://heathersager.com/episode212'>https://heathersager.com/episode212</a><br/><br/></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/520627/fan_mail/new">Send me a note</a></p><p>📣 <b>WORK WITH HEATHER  </b>→ <a href='https://heathersager.com/'>https://heathersager.com/</a><br/><b><br/>📧  Get the Hint of Heather NEWSLETTER </b>→<b> </b><a href='https://heathersager.com/newsletter'>https://heathersager.com/newsletter</a><br/><br/><b><em>Connect on Social:</em></b><em><br/></em><b>Instagram</b>: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/theheathersager/'>https://www.instagram.com/theheathersager/</a><br/><b>LinkedIn</b>: <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/heathermsager/'>https://www.linkedin.com/in/heathermsager/</a><br/><b>YouTube</b>: <a href='https://www.youtube.com/HeatherSager'>https://www.youtube.com/HeatherSager</a><br/><br/></p><p><b>SUBSCRIBE &amp; REVIEW</b></p><p>If this episode hit home, I&apos;d be so grateful if you took a second to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts.

Where do people spend way too much time?  What if I don’t feel like writing?</em> Plus we go into a few wildly inappropriate metaphors (per usual) that unsurprisingly drive the lessons home.</p><p><b>Inside this episode, you’ll learn:</b></p><ul><li>How Sara’s early experience with teaching and cloth diapers (wait what?) paved the way to damn good copywriting</li><li>Bridging the gap between verbal and written communication styles (and how they play together)</li><li>The two distractions people obsess over, but don’t pay off (and what to do instead)</li><li>What it takes to write unboring copy that packs a punch-y “YOU” in it</li><li>4 specific actions to take when you feel “stuck” with writing </li></ul><p> <br/> <b>EPISODE  SHOW NOTES</b>👇</p><p><a href='https://heathersager.com/episode177/'>https://heathersager.com/episode177/</a><br/><br/></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/520627/fan_mail/new">Send me a note</a></p><p>📣 <b>WORK WITH HEATHER  </b>→ <a href='https://heathersager.com/'>https://heathersager.com/</a><br/><b><br/>📧  Get the Hint of Heather NEWSLETTER </b>→<b> </b><a href='https://heathersager.com/newsletter'>https://heathersager.com/newsletter</a><br/><br/><b><em>Connect on Social:</em></b><em><br/></em><b>Instagram</b>: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/theheathersager/'>https://www.instagram.com/theheathersager/</a><br/><b>LinkedIn</b>: <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/heathermsager/'>https://www.linkedin.com/in/heathermsager/</a><br/><b>YouTube</b>: <a href='https://www.youtube.com/HeatherSager'>https://www.youtube.com/HeatherSager</a><br/><br/></p><p><b>SUBSCRIBE &amp; REVIEW</b></p><p>If this episode hit home, I&apos;d be so grateful if you took a second to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts.

I love how he approaches business and makes things super tangible and tactical and I wanted to share this because it speaks to exactly what I wanted when it came to my business. <br/><br/>I hope this episode improves your relationship with time, moves out of the hustle mindset and encourages you to take action and scale your business that’s aligned with your life.</p><p> <b>EPISODE  SHOW NOTES</b>👇</p><p><a href='http://heathersager.com/blog/161'>➡️</a> <a href='https://heathersager.com/episode149/'>https://heathersager.com/episode149/</a><br/><br/></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/520627/fan_mail/new">Send me a note</a></p><p>📣 <b>WORK WITH HEATHER  </b>→ <a href='https://heathersager.com/'>https://heathersager.com/</a><br/><b><br/>📧  Get the Hint of Heather NEWSLETTER </b>→<b> </b><a href='https://heathersager.com/newsletter'>https://heathersager.com/newsletter</a><br/><br/><b><em>Connect on Social:</em></b><em><br/></em><b>Instagram</b>: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/theheathersager/'>https://www.instagram.com/theheathersager/</a><br/><b>LinkedIn</b>: <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/heathermsager/'>https://www.linkedin.com/in/heathermsager/</a><br/><b>YouTube</b>: <a href='https://www.youtube.com/HeatherSager'>https://www.youtube.com/HeatherSager</a><br/><br/></p><p><b>SUBSCRIBE &amp; REVIEW</b></p><p>If this episode hit home, I&apos;d be so grateful if you took a second to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts.

So if you want to get clearer and be more specific with your marketing strategy while serving your people best and want to niche down in the right way, this is the episode for you! <br/><br/></p><p> <b>EPISODE  SHOW NOTES</b>👇</p><p><a href='http://heathersager.com/blog/161'>➡️</a> <a href='https://thespeakerco.com/sabotage-sales/'><b> </b></a><a href='https://heathersager.com/episode130/'><b>https://heathersager.com/episode130/</b></a><b><br/></b><br/></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/520627/fan_mail/new">Send me a note</a></p><p>📣 <b>WORK WITH HEATHER  </b>→ <a href='https://heathersager.com/'>https://heathersager.com/</a><br/><b><br/>📧  Get the Hint of Heather NEWSLETTER </b>→<b> </b><a href='https://heathersager.com/newsletter'>https://heathersager.com/newsletter</a><br/><br/><b><em>Connect on Social:</em></b><em><br/></em><b>Instagram</b>: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/theheathersager/'>https://www.instagram.com/theheathersager/</a><br/><b>LinkedIn</b>: <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/heathermsager/'>https://www.linkedin.com/in/heathermsager/</a><br/><b>YouTube</b>: <a href='https://www.youtube.com/HeatherSager'>https://www.youtube.com/HeatherSager</a><br/><br/></p><p><b>SUBSCRIBE &amp; REVIEW</b></p><p>If this episode hit home, I&apos;d be so grateful if you took a second to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts.

I’m sure you have similar questions around leveraging the power of video in your business, specifically how to show up more confidently and eloquently. The idea of putting your face on camera can feel a little overwhelming. In this session, I help demystify that for business owners who want to do video work.<br/><br/>     2. I want you to hear what a live, engaging and effective presentation sounds like. Even if the topic doesn&apos;t resonate with you, pay attention because this is VERY meta.
