Are you building a personal brand that supports your lifestyle—or accidentally turning your life into your brand? In this episode, Marina breaks down the key difference between monetizing your lifestyle and creating a brand that honors it.

📌 We have a few spots left to join our storytelling brand retreat in Egypt (my beloved homeland), ⁠⁠⁠APPLY⁠ HERE to secure our pre-launch offer!

🎙️ In this episode, I reflect on:

✨ The difference between monetizing your lifestyle vs. building a brand around it

✨ Why oversharing can dilute your brand power

✨ How to make your life the backdrop, not the whole show

✨ What to share (and what to keep sacred) as a service-based entrepreneur

✨ Why your voice and story are your most powerful marketing tools

If you’ve been feeling pressured to share everything online or think you need to constantly post about your day-to-day just to be relevant, this is your permission slip to stop. You don’t have to sell your lifestyle to sell your services—and in fact, doing so may be costing you your peace (and your authority).
