Have you ever felt like choosing a niche means boxing yourself in or turning people away? You're not alone.

In this episode of Sparkle & Shine, we're diving into what a niche really is, why it matters for your business, and how to define yours in a way that feels empowering—not limiting.

I'll walk you through how I discovered the niche for Pretty Pineapple Bead (colorful, confidence-boosting jewelry), how to move past the fear of being “too specific,” and how to align your niche with your values and personality—so you can build a brand that truly feels like you.

Whether you’re just starting out or feeling stuck in a brand identity that no longer fits, this episode will help you gain clarity and confidence in your direction.

• 💡 What a niche actually is (hint: it’s more than just your product)
• 🎨 How to shape your niche based on your values, vibe, and vision
• ⚠️ The biggest mindset block: fear of being “too specific”
• 📝 Real questions to help you define or refine your niche
• 🌱 Why your niche is allowed to evolve as you grow
• 🎯 How clarity helps your brand stand out—even if not everyone gets it

“Choosing a niche isn’t about boxing yourself in. It’s about standing out.”

🎯 This week’s listener challenge:Grab a journal and reflect on the prompts from this episode:
