The backbone of Biz to Brand Academy is unification of what has always been divided-- the space between the work within yourself and the work within your business.

That being said, here's what this looks like together:

Business dreamers, side-job extraordinaire, new-ish entrepreneurs or anyone wanting a different look at how you’ve been running business for awhile – this program is made for you. If you have specific questions, you can always set up a no-pressure call with me to help you with the decision making process.

Absolutely not. You can attend these calls (they'll be hosted on Zoom), or choose to listen to the recordings afterward, however you like. Your camera can be on or off when speaking or listening, and you can be in whatever environment you find most supportive (outside, your office, in bed…). The experiences shared inside the group will stay private and confidential. No one will be allowed to screenshot and share our group without covering faces & identities, because consent has not been given. You can screenshot my chatty face anytime, that's fine with me.

Maybe in some ways, but technically not either. Especially when you take into account the business curriculum. I am certified as a trauma informed entrepreneur and hold a degree in counseling not as a mental health professional. My education, training, skillset, and experiences impact the work I do, and how I do it, but are not the same qualifications as a therapist. Though I definitely pull some components of my own therapy experience into how I support my clients, I love therapy, and would also love it if you have a therapist plus an integrative biz coach (me!).

I will hold you accountable to yourself and whatever that looks like on any given day. I am much more likely to help you set intentions, ask how things feel, and check in with you than I am to outline a strict set of expectations and hold you to them without exception. I believe everyone wants to do and be their best, and they will do so to whatever extent they are capable. If progress is “slow”, I trust there’s a reason and would rather explore the situation versus holding your hand to the fire on principle.That’s not to say we can’t set benchmarks to measure progress or that we’re aimlessly showing up in this time together. We can cover this more together on your intake call. I definitely want to know about what encourages and motivates you and what you want to take from this experience.

Only you can decide what feels ok for you, but my perspective is that if you're feeling pulled toward the energy of this program, you'll fit right in. I believe in massive potential when we surround ourselves with folks who are non-linear to our journey. Meaning the ones ahead of us, steps behind, or on another road entirely. Think about a montessori classroom and how this diversity brings competency and mastery of skills with confidence in individual personalities, characteristics, and natural talents. If everyone was in the same place it would be a pretty flat conversation and scarce in inspiration.

Abso-f’ing-lutely, yes please. We can’t unstuck or overcome the unavoidable obstacles of entrepreneurship if we keep it hidden away from the ones who can help. Ignoring something doesn’t make it go away, and having a paid coach dismiss your experience because of their own limitations is beyond frustrating, and potentially harmful.  I don’t believe you have to be happy all the time in order to run a successful business. Your full self is welcomed here.

Great question. Yes, you can. I will have a contact & feedback form available throughout the entire program. The form will allow you to share anything with me along with your preference for how I follow-up and/or respond as needed. You can also upgrade to Voxer or 1:1 monthly calls with me if you prefer one of those options.

Yes. The intention of the schedule is to help you with your program intentions without burdening your to-do list. The schedule will guide you through the entire curriculum, with intentional rest weeks. You are not required to follow the schedule and can revisit any of the content at later dates, post-program, as well as attend all of the group calls no matter where you are in the curriculum. There will be so much to take away from the calls, regardless of your program pace. My magic comes alive through small groups and 1:1 clients, so I am pumped to be offering these calls.

I don’t. But, hear me out. I fully believe that your future ad campaigns will be more effective and profitable if you take in this content first. The #1 reason I hear around ad failure is paying for ads too soon or running misaligned campaigns. If this program sounds like a good fit for you, please wait on ad investments. 

While I’ve never had to issue a refund to any client, I believe you should have that choice. The feedback form is available 24/7 for any arising issues that can be shared and resolved together within your comfort. In the event you are unable or unwilling to complete the Biz to Brand program, I wholeheartedly respect your decision. Please notify me + we can talk about pausing our work together to complete at a later date or discontinuing payments if you’re on a payment plan. Due to the nature of the program, you will not receive any refund for work that is already completed. Any participant who exits the program (by choice or for problematic issues identified by the program facilitator) will forfeit access to all program content.

Of course, with pleasure. I’m a self-taught professional Showit website designer, impactful brand builder, and integrative business coach since 2019. Now a Certified Trauma Informed Entrepreneur & Certified Human First© Business with a company mission to empower more small businesses by acknowledging the humanity of entrepreneurship, making capability more accessible, and creating necessary support for others. I don’t believe being harder on ourselves works in the long run or that you need to be anything more than you already are for great opportunity. There is nothing better in your business than you, no one more capable either.

I have spent thousands of hours absorbing, studying, creating, organizing, developing, and communicating ideas and business thoughts to clients, committees, volunteers, colleagues, executive boards, and community members. I am a question-asker who believes it’s okay to change your mind and that “should” is not a reason to do anything.

I also identify as neurodivergent with cPTSD (complex post traumatic stress disorder) and generalized anxiety. One of my children is neurodivergent as well. Living life through my unique lens has offered the unavoidable opportunity to reevaluate how society views hustle, hard work, and success. So while this program isn’t about me, undoubtedly, my experiences offer a different ability for supporting others.

The business space wasn’t made for us and does a terrible job supporting us. I wasted a lot of time trying to prove I could beat those odds before deciding to redefine the business experience and provide support that matters and sees nuance of privilege, capitalism, resources, lived experiences and so much more. You know yourself best, but the self-doubt industry makes billions of dollars by keeping you far away from this truth. You can also find me on Instagram at @abundantcollabco or email me anytime at katie@abundantcollabco.com.

Out of respect for the program intention and your investment there will be a minimum of 3, and no more than 10. There are plenty of cost-effective course options or low-price large group programs and I get that this is a bigger investment. I also know that what I’m offering far surpasses a do-it-alone course and the high-touch frequency of support, feedback, space holding, encouragement and coaching cannot be achieved in a large, impersonal group setting. Been there, done that… on both accounts.

This will depend on the time zones of who joins and what works best collectively. I’ll get this information finalized early on so you can plan as necessary.
