Lewis and Associates. They provide coaching to local business owners and professionals. I was asked to talk about how your personal brand and image can be your greatest asset. You can read it all yourself below!&nbsp;</p><p><span style="font-size:24px;font-family:&quot;Libre Baskerville&quot;;color:rgb(1, 58, 81);">Personal Brand</span></p><p></p><div><p style="text-align:left;">Your personal brand starts with&nbsp;<em style="font-weight:inherit;">you</em>. How you dress, speak, show up, and feel about yourself directly impacts how clients see your business. When your outward image aligns with your brand and you feel confident in your own skin, you communicate better, attract the right people, and build trust faster. Confidence isn’t cosmetic, it’s a powerful business tool that fuels visibility, connection, and growth. Here’s the thing, when you’re a business owner, you are your brand. Your clients aren’t just buying your product or service, they’re buying&nbsp;<em style="font-weight:inherit;">you.</em>&nbsp;The way you show up, speak, and even what you wear all play a role in how people connect with your business. And the truth is, how you feel about yourself is absolutely reflected in how you run your business. Confidence isn’t just a nice bonus; it’s a game changer. It impacts how you show up, how you communicate, and how others see you. At Color Her Confident, I believe that when you feel good on the outside, it supports the confidence you already have inside. And that’s when your personal brand really shines.</p><h3 style="margin-bottom:8px;">First Impressions</h3><p style="text-align:left;">Your personal brand starts the moment someone meets you, whether that’s in person, on social media, or through a quick scroll of your website. Before you ever say a word, your image tells a story. What does your image say? Your clothing, colors, and overall presence can instantly communicate things like approachability, creativity, trust, and professionalism. When your outer image matches the message you want to send, people feel that alignment and they connect with you faster. That’s why I love bringing color analysis and personal style into the conversation. The colors you wear should not only look amazing on you but also reflect your brand’s personality. If your business is bold and inspiring, your wardrobe should echo that same energy. If your brand is warm and approachable, your style should feel inviting and authentic. It’s all connected and when it clicks, people notice.</p><h3 style="margin-bottom:8px;">Confidence is the Secret Ingredient</h3><p style="text-align:left;">Here’s the truth: you can have the best offer, the best logo, and the best website but if you don’t feel confident showing up as the face of your brand, none of that matters. Confidence changes everything. It affects your body language, the way you talk about your work, and how you connect with others. When you feel like your best self, when your outfit feels “so you,” your makeup enhances your features, and you’re not second-guessing how you look, you naturally carry yourself differently. I’ve seen it time and time again. Once clients discover the colors and styles that truly fit who they are, something shifts. They stop hiding, start showing up more consistently, and their businesses grow because they’re showing up as their most confident and authentic selves<em style="font-weight:inherit;">.&nbsp;</em>Confidence isn’t about being perfect, it’s about being comfortable and authentic. It’s not vanity. It’s visibility.</p><h3 style="margin-bottom:8px;">A Confident Brand Attracts Business</h3><p style="text-align:left;">When you show up confidently, people take notice. You speak with more ease, you attract clients who value what you offer, and you naturally create trust. Confidence is contagious, it draws people in. And when your personal style and brand presence reflect who you truly are, everything feels aligned. Your confidence doesn’t just show up in person either. It carries through in your photos, videos, and how you show up online. Your image tells your story before you even speak so make sure it’s telling the story you want to share.</p><h3 style="margin-bottom:8px;">Building Confidence from the Outside In</h3><p style="text-align:left;">Here’s what I tell every client: when you look good, you feel good. And when you feel it, you own it. Your personal brand should reflect the best, most authentic version of you. The one that’s ready to be seen, valued, and remembered. So if you’ve been holding back or second-guessing your image, consider this your sign to invest in yourself. Because when you show up with confidence, everything about your business grows stronger.</p><h3 style="margin-bottom:8px;">Final Thought</h3><p style="text-align:left;">Your business can’t shine if you’re hiding behind self-doubt. Confidence is what turns a small business into a standout brand. When you know who you are and you’re proud to show it, that’s when the magic happens.</p><p style="text-align:left;">Because confidence isn’t just beautiful… it’s&nbsp;<em style="font-weight:inherit;">good for business.</em></p></div><br/><p></p></div>

Being a momprenuer is a delicate balancing act of coordinating schedules and overlapping priorities. Work/life balance dosen't exist. Standard work hours start before the kids wake up and continue long after they are in bed with breaks through the day. My reality is <span style="font-style:italic;">Work/Life Intigration</span>.&nbsp; It can be exhausing and overwhelming but it is also the most rewarding adeventure I could ever ask for. Throughout it all, I have developed habits and routines that allow me to, &quot;have my cake and eat it to&quot;. I have woven intentional moments with my family into the fabric of our everyday lives. I work hard so, as a family, we can play harder. Today, I want to share one of the ways I am intentional in the summer!</span></span></span></span></p></div>

We started this a few years ago when I was feeling like time was passing us by without taking a pause to enjoy it. My husband and I were trying to work, entertain the kids, and every week seemed like a different day camp or play date just to keep them busy. Then I came across a post on Pinterest with a printable Summer Bucket List. It was a brilliant way to make sure we were staying intentional with our family time and make the summer count! Now, every summer, we each get to choose 4 activities we want to do as a family creating a fun and eclectic list of 16 summer adventures. These do not need to be eleborate or expensive trips, but are meant to be moments when we are fully present for each other. In years past we have done beach days, s'mores, fishing and lemonade stands. This year's list includes catching fire flies, an outdoor movie night, paddle boarding, and ice cream for dinner. You can follow along with our adventure on my socials. I also encourage you to start a Summer Bucket List of your own!

Cue the excitement! And then the anxiety! I was really just hoping someone might read the media release and send a representative to my ribbon cutting ceremony. This was so much better! I knew it was a huge opportunity to really showcase the heart and mission of Color Her Confident! But was I ready? Well it, didn't really matter if I was or not. This was happening and I was going to make sure I was ready! We set the time and place and I lined up a client to give a &quot;behind the scenes&quot; peek into what I do. And in the end it was better than I ever imagined! Sheila Howard knocked it out of the park! I had met her one before at a business event and I really loved her vibe! But more than that, she really seemed to understand what I am trying to build! When She came to my office for the interview, she truly grasped the vision! She asked engaging questions, took interested in my client and made the entire process easy and fun! Sheila went to extra mile and also contacted other previous clients to really capture the essence of my services. The end result is a beautiful testimonial to the heart of Color Her Confident!

So when Kendra Bills, owner of <span style="color:rgb(48, 4, 234);text-decoration-line:underline;"><a href="https://newinbloom.com/" title="In Bloom Flowers and Gifts" target="_blank" rel="">In Bloom Flowers and Gifts</a></span>, needed updated headshots for herself and her team, she turned to AK Makeup Artistry and <span style="text-decoration-line:underline;color:rgb(48, 4, 234);"><a href="https://www.colbisphoto.com/" title="Colbis Photo" target="_blank" rel="">Colbis Photo</a></span>! I had the pleasure of meeting Kendra and her team at their storefront in uptown Maumee where I was able to provide makeup on site before they headed out for their pictures. All three ladies wanted simple, natural makeup that allowed them to shine through in the pictures. Afterall, they were set in a flower field of their local supplier, <span style="color:rgb(48, 4, 234);text-decoration-line:underline;"><a href="https://forgetmenotmi.com/" title="Forget Me Not Farms" target="_blank" rel="">Forget Me Not Farms</a></span>. I stuck to earth tones and Ardell Natural Lashes to give just a touch of added elegance. We also kept their lips neutral with simple glosses that had just a hint of color creating the perfect finishing touch! When asked about the experience, Kendra said, &quot;<span style="color:inherit;">I enjoyed seeing the finished result of the makeup session of each of my designers and myself.&nbsp; You captured each of us and our desire to be the best version of ourselves by enhancing the beauty you saw there, not by trying to make us look like someone we're not,&nbsp;but by working to make us feel beautiful in our own skin.&nbsp; You were so kind and professional and I appreciate all of your efforts to be there for us that day!&quot;</span></p><p>&nbsp;It was my honor to meet each of them and I loved getting to know more about their shop and what they do!&nbsp;</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p></div>

Her good friend, Nikki, told Melissa about the Nifty 50 photo experience. &quot;S<span style="color:inherit;">he asked me and she is an amazing, hard working, dedicated &amp; beautiful individual so I was happy to participate.&quot; And she is so glad she said yes!
