LinkedIn feels different lately. Impressions are down, posts are showing up late, and the algorithm has shifted. Many of us feel like ducks: calm on the surface but paddling like crazy underneath. 🦆

In this episode of the Brilliantly Branded Podcast, I share what’s really happening on LinkedIn right now and why this matters for your visibility. More importantly, I walk you through simple, practical steps you can use to protect your strategy so you don’t depend on just one platform.

Here’s what you’ll take away:
✨ What has changed on LinkedIn and how it affects you
✨ Why chasing likes and impressions is the wrong game
✨ How to create clarity in your communication with the Power Wheel
✨ Why having a home base (podcast, newsletter, website) matters more than ever
✨ How to connect online and offline to build real trust

Whether you’re a founder, coach, or executive, this episode will help you rethink how you show up and make sure your brand momentum doesn’t rely only on algorithms.

In this Capsule, I sat down with Mourad Brooks Founder & CEO at The Nine, to talk about what it really takes to empower more women to step into tech.

Georgia reminds us that it’s not just about creating opportunities—it’s about encouragement, positive imagery, role models, and demystifying what tech truly is.

She also shares practical advice for women curious about STEAM: take the first step, reach out, and connect. Sometimes one message can change your path.

In this Capsule of the Brilliantly Branded Podcast, Olivia De Bie, COO of Campus 19 (42 Network), shares how we can inspire, attract, and empower more women to step into tech.

From breaking the belief that “tech isn’t for me” to showing the power of female role models, Olivia reminds us that tech is open, diverse, and ready for more women’s voices.

Her message is clear: We all have our place in tech. A conversation filled with inspiration, practical ideas, and a call to welcome more women into STEAM.

In this Capsule episode of the Brilliantly Branded Podcast, we spotlight Isabelle Deliège, a coach specialised in neurodiversity at work.

Isabelle shares an honest and powerful perspective on how women – especially those who are neurodivergent – often experience “double exceptionality” in STEAM fields.

Her message is clear:
“Your singularity is your treasure. It’s an asset.”

This conversation invites us to reframe difference as strength and make the tech world more inclusive by design.

Join us in this mini-series where we amplify the voices of women who are shaping the future of science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics – not just through skill, but through empathy and bold individuality.

In this episode, My guest is Lindsay Whitby.

A somatic coach, father of three, and former aviation leader.

We had a raw and powerful conversation about emotional healing, masculinity, and spiritual intelligence.

Lindsay opens up about his journey from disconnection to self-integration, why shame is the silent destroyer of men, and how healing the father wound can transform the way we lead and relate, at home, at work, and with ourselves.

We also explore:

• What it means to lead from a healed place
• How somatic awareness can unlock emotional intelligence
• Why men and women need each other to create true empowerment

Lindsay’s story is vulnerable, grounded, and deeply inspiring.

Whether you’re a leader, a parent, or someone on your own journey of healing, this episode offers something real to hold onto.

🎧 Tune in. Reflect. And ask yourself: where am I still disconnected?
