Shownotes

“You are the niche.” “Pick a profitable niche.”

These two messages get thrown around like absolute truths — but what if both are true and incomplete?

In this episode, I unpack the real nuance between building a personal brand rooted in identity versus choosing a business model based on strategy — and what happens when one of those is missing.

Whether your content is resonating but not converting, or you feel invisible in your own brand, this episode will help you reconnect with what actually creates trust, sales, and freedom.


We cover:

  • Why “you are the niche” and “choose a niche” both hold truth
  • What’s changed in the creator economy and content visibility
  • Why a strong personal brand still matters — even without a clear offer
  • What to do if you have reach but not revenue
  • What to do if you had revenue, but now your content feels off

Questions This Episode Will Answer:

  • What’s the difference between “you are the niche” and “choosing a niche”?
  • Why isn’t my content converting if people love me and engage with it?
  • What do I do if my revenue is down but my audience is still growing?
  • How do I shift my business if I’m burned out or boxed in by my niche?
  • How has content visibility changed, and what does it mean for my strategy?


How to work with me:

  • Schedule a discovery call to find out if 1:1 coaching is a fit
  • DM me on Instagram if you walk to talk through shorter term, foced options like a month of Telegram coaching ($700) or a Sellable Stories Intensive ($497)
