5.The Misaligned Brand That Led Me to Clarity | The Untold Story Behind Paradox Brands

How do you build a brand that feels like truth? Not just on paper—but in your bones?

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the full (and sometimes messy) journey that led to Paradox Brands. From translating emotions for my family as a kid to navigating misaligned creative work in my early career, every chapter pointed me to what would become The Clarity Method—a brand blueprint rooted in paradox, honesty, and alignment.

Inside this episode:

• the identity crisis that sparked my creative awakening
• how pattern recognition became my superpower
• what fear-based branding looks like (and how to spot it)
• why embracing contradictions is the key to clarity
• and the birth story of Paradox Brands and the Clarity Method

This one’s part origin story, part masterclass—and if you’ve ever felt like your message was fragmented or your brand wasn’t quite clicking, I hope it brings you insight and peace. You are not lost. You’re just becoming.
