Nine months ago I became myself.
Although it was a long time coming (much more about that at the Summit) it was only nine months ago I finally yanked the MizFit plug, pulled off the caricature veil and gave myself room to grow.
yep. my logo as a reader tattoo. that’s some tight branding.
Even though my branding was strong (too strong to survive a change? I wasn’t sure).
Even though everything was going really, really well (should I rock the boat? I wasn’t sure.)
I knew it was time.
It was hard.
It was terrifying.
It was something I’d considered for years and wished I had someone to give me tips & share how it went for her.
I didn’t have that person.
I want to be that person for you.
This weekend at the Blog Well Summit (free! free!) I’m sharing everything I’ve learned about Fearless Rebranding.
Join me.
Even if rebranding isn’t yet on your radar —- it may be someday .
And believe me, you’ll be glad *not* to make the mistakes I did along the way.

October 17, 2014 at 3:58 amI rebranded just over a year ago…and NOT by choice (as you might remember). It was terrifying and heartbreaking, but ended up being the best thing I’ve done for my blog. My blog is now 100% *me*, I don’t feel pigeon-holed into one arena, and that in itself made all of the scary moments SO worth it! THANK YOU for offering your support to others who decide to take this route as well ! <3

October 17, 2014 at 4:00 amOh my gosh, that makes SO much sense! I kept seeing the same posts on bloglovin, and was utterly confused! I think I must have missed the transition period…..or did not know you back then. Now I know I can delete it, but this post makes me happy that you are at peace with who you are, and your blog posts back that up 100%. Now the real you can shine 🙂 And I can bask in your glow….and knowledge 😉

October 17, 2014 at 5:52 amThis is definitely something that interests me for the future. Just never sure where things will go. You are a great example of someone who’s clearly done this very well and I’d love to hear your thoughts on it!

Laura @ Mommy Run Fast says
October 17, 2014 at 8:22 amHope to make it… I’ve been contemplating doing the same and switching to my name so it can encompass the health coaching piece, but it’s such a scary step!
Theodora says

October 18, 2014 at 12:30 pmHas it only been nine months?!
I would like to see some rebranding tips on the blog 😀
(My rebranding will be taking place slloooowwlllyy… starting with the content piece this coming week and then moving to the design component once I’ve got the spare $$, probably in a few months.)

October 18, 2014 at 10:22 pmThank you SO much for posting this! I missed out on your video 🙁 but I’m going through some of the available videos now on the site, and I’m looking forward to seeing the stuff that will be posted tomorrow.
There is SO much awesome information at this summit! I cannot believe it’s all free, too. I’m glad I was able to watch at least a few of the videos. They are answering some questions I’ve had about branding and headers. I have been wanting to take my blog to another level for a while, but have no idea how to do it. These videos have already given me so much to think about and work on.
Oh yeah, and maybe I should keep writing posts too. Geesh! Hahaha.
Heather @ Housewife Glamour says
October 21, 2014 at 8:21 amThis is awesome!! I am currently in the process of making the big move. I definitely appreciate your openness and honestly throughout it all! You rock, Carla!!
