You know that feeling when you open your website or look at elements of your brand and think:
“Ugh… this just doesn’t feel like me anymore.”
If that’s where you are right now, I want to lovingly say to you: You’re not behind. You’ve just outgrown your brand!
And that’s a good thing (believe me).
But it’s also important to remember that the solution to outgrowing your brand doesn’t always look like an immediate rebrand.
Sometimes it’s looking like finally being ready to be seen, fully and clearly. It looks like nervous system work, like identifying where you’ve been hiding or selling yourself short.
A lot of the creative business owners I work with come to me after years of serving their people (extremely well, might I add). They’re not beginners, they’re not lost, and they’re not flaky or inconsistent.
They’re actually incredible at what they do. But the visual piece of their business?
Still looks like the version of them from 3 or 5 or 7 years ago.
And that disconnect starts to feel heavy after holding it for awhile.
This is the pivotal moment a lot of clients come to me:
But brand visuals still may feel too mushed together, unclear, or just… off. And when your brand doesn’t feel aligned, showing up just gets harder and harder. You second-guess, or hide, or start thinking,
“Maybe I’m not ready yet.”
“Maybe I need another course or certification, and then I’ll feel ready…”
But what if the issue isn’t readiness, what if your nervous system just hasn’t caught up to your growth yet?
Not louder, or more viral; not perfectly optimized for the algorithm.
Just something that feels like slipping into a version of you that’s already here, comfortable, and ready to be seen.
Shameless plug: that’s what Origin Stories were created for! They’re a one-of-a-kind brand aesthetics that are already infused with heart (and a pre-imagined aesthetic), yet refined with your input and designed to support where you’re going.
And if it feels like you’re not quite ready for a full brand overhaul, you can book a Brand Audit to begin uncovering ways to improve and feel more aligned in your brand.
If you’re craving something softer, more intuitive, and still strategic, take a look at the available Origin Stories. Each story starts as a creative starting point, but the process is infused with intention. And we get to make it yours together.
