Description

Not every opportunity is worth saying yes to - especially when it comes to your professional credibility.

In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of a recent brand offer that looked amazing on paper… but didn’t align with my values. I’ll walk you through the exact red flags I spotted, how I handled it, and how you can confidently assess brand partnerships too.

Here’s what we cover:

  • The 5 key filters I use to assess brand opportunities
  • Why I turned down a five-figure offer (and what happened next)
  • Red flags to watch for — especially as a regulated HCP
  • How to protect your time, boundaries, and values
  • What to say when you're not sure how to say “no”

PS — The best brand opportunities often come through your social media content. And if showing up online feels a bit like your winging it or it's overwhelming, or simply “not working”... then you might be interested in learning about my brand new course — Social Media Made Simple.

You don’t need to become a full time content creator or dance on TikTok to grow your business. You just need a plan that works for you. 📲 Join the waitlist now to be first in line to a massively discounted beta spot when doors open
