Lady Gaga. Brené Brown. Oprah. Sarah Blakely. Simon Sinek. James Clear. You know their names instantly, but why don't people know YOURS?

In this bold, no-BS episode, Kimberly Gayle breaks down the 12 things the best, most recognizable, smartest personal brands do that most entrepreneurs are NOT doing and why that's keeping you invisible, stuck, and struggling to grow.

Saying goodbye to 2025 feels SO good! In this powerful year-end episode, Kimberly Gayle helps visionary women consciously leave behind what's no longer serving them and step boldly into 2026 as the leaders they're meant to be.

If you're a visionary woman with UNREASONABLE dreams and goals for 2026, this episode is your roadmap. Kimberly breaks down the 14 things we're leaving behind in 2025 (overconsumption, hiding, disconnection from self, broke-ass thinking, and more) and the 14 powerful focuses for 2026 (boldness as standard, holding vision, million-dollar habits, R.E.A.L. leadership, and self-connection).

This isn't just about flipping a calendar page—it's about consciously choosing to emerge as the bold visionary leader you were born to be. 2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse, and it's going to be fast and fruitful. But first, we need to do the deep work of reconnecting with ourselves.

Episode Highlights:

• The 14 things visionary women are leaving behind in 2025 (bye, bitches!)
• The 14 powerful focuses for bold visionary leadership in 2026
• Why self-connection and trust are the foundation of everything
• Million-dollar habits from Rachel Rodgers
• The R.E.A.L. leadership framework
• How personal branding starts with reconnecting to yourself
• Why visibility without emotional resonance is just noise

This Week's Challenge: The Bold Visionary Leadership Declaration - name what you're leaving behind, declare your focus for 2026, identify one bold action, and share it publicly.

This Week's Mantra: "I am a bold visionary leader, and 2026 is the year I go FIRST."

Have you ever felt completely lost in the space between who you were and who you're becoming? Like you're straddling two identities and beating yourself up because the transition isn't happening fast enough?

On October 1, 2025, I sold my craft beer taphouse after eight years—and entered what's called a "bardo," the in-between state between endings and new beginnings. In this deeply personal episode, I'm sharing the raw truth about my transition and what I've learned about honoring the messy middle instead of rushing through it.

If you recently left corporate and started a business, if you're frustrated with yourself for not having it all figured out yet—this episode is for you. Because here's the truth: the in-between is not a problem to fix. It's a process to honor.

I'm also sharing a story from my own past that mirrors exactly what you might be going through right now, plus hinting at something new that's emerging. Stay tuned—the full reveal is coming in the next episode!

This Week's Mantra: "I trust the pause. I honor the in-between. I am emerging exactly as I'm meant to."
