"Brie unlocked a whole new perspective FOR ME on how to managE my career with my personal brand!”

— Victor Acacio, Real Estate Investor, Fitness Enthusiast, and CS Manager

Managing our careers used to be RELATIVELY straightforward:

you’d pick a career path at 18, go to college, get experience, (hopefully!) move up the ladder, and then retire into the sunset with a fat a$$ 401K.

But in today’s job market? Careers are a helluva lot less linear. And our experience? It no longer speaks for itself. We have to take a much more active role in creating our own opportunities.

NOW All of this would be exciting, except FOR THE FACT THAT building a Personal brand creates a whole new HOST of CHALLENGES.

For starters, you’re drowning in a sea of conflicting advice from the internet about how to even begin. Between the sycophantic LLMs and the wildly overconfident talking heads on TikTok that make this whole process look suspiciously easy, it’s hard to know what advice actually applies to you.
You’ve got range for days and a proven track record to point to, but packaging that up in a clear, concise ways feels like solving a Rubik’s cube.
And then there’s the not-so-minor issue that talking about yourself makes you want to swallow glass.

You’re stuck in this loop of OVERWHELM, anxiously over thinking your next move because YOU Don’t want to fuggit up. and the idea of sounding like a corporate robot or, god forbid, an internet try-hard? It terrifies you.

You need a career sherpa. Someone that can help you climb cringe mountain and architect a story that makes you the painfully obvious choice for KILLER JOB OPPORTUNITIES.

(and that sherpa better be someone who’s been there, done that, baby).

HI THERE, I’M BRIE.

the PEGGY OLSON OF the PORTFOLIO CAREER MOVEMENT. here to help you climb Cringe Mountain!

I’m a product strategist with 13+ years of CPG and merchandising experience that started yappin’ on the internet about portfolio careers after a layoff back in 2023. (This was before the internet made them cool!) Three years, countless experiments, and more than a few instructive “mistakes” later, I’ve built up a fully independent, multi-six-figure business by telling my story and have helped 200+ professionals do the same.

When I’m not busy flagging the emergency exit for folks fleeing outdated career models, you can find me adventuring about the Puget Sound, watching an episode of Mad Men, or cozying up with my cats.

You’ve GOT more options FOR YOUR CAREER THAN you think. 〰️

WhAT YOU need TO ACCESS THEM IS WHAT I CALL PERSON MARKET FIT

Instead of over-engineering a trendy career with a contrived 5 step couch-to-six income stream plan that a cringy guru is peddling you on the internet, we start with a story that attracts a variety of opportunities you are insanely suited for.

I call this building your person market fit: positioning that makes your range easy to understand and impossible to ignore‍. ‍

"I came to Brie feeling stuck and burnt out. She saw potential in me that I couldn't see in myself and helped me rebuild my business from the ground up."

— Nicole Pineda, Wedding Florist + Tech Recruiter

"The internet is filled with overly complex career frameworks. Brie’s approach is the opposite of that. She brought a truly no-nonsense positioning philosophy to the Hello Generalist community to get our budding fractionals HIRED fast!"

— Shaina Anderson, Hello Generalist CEO

WITH POSITIONING COACHING…

You bring me the whole damn career mess.

The job you may or may not want to leave,
The newsletter idea w/ 11 drafts in Substack, even
The 15 years of experience you’re convinced somehow doesn’t add up

Then we do three things in really quick succession…

01

FIND THE THROUGHLINE

We turn your gloriously non-linear experience into a story your intended audience understands and connects with.

02

RUN EXPERIMENTS

We stop treating every career decision like it’s a damn blood oath and, instead, we form hypotheses, run some pilots, and pay attention to what creates energy, traction, and moolah for your career (preferably we create all three!).

03‍ ‍

Develop A BODY OF WORK

The goal is to slowly attract a mix of projects with a message that works in harmony with your gifts, preferred style of working, ambitions, priorities, and general season of life.

All of that is to say: I help you build a career that works for you.

‍Together, we’ll take YOUR particular FLAVOR of 10-20+ YRS OF lived experience, creative ambitions, even that “weird” mish mash of HOBBIES, and turn it into a message that tells your intended audienceS:

what you’re insanely qualified to help them with,
the type of projects and teams you gravitate to and why,
the magic of how you break down and solve problems,
and why you need to to be hired immediately!

THEN GET TO WERK!

If you want me all up in your career business, there are two ways to partner. I like to start all new client engagements with a single working session. It gives us both a chance to determine whether we're a good fit and whether my approach and skill set is the right match for your situation. If one session gets you unstuck or is all you need, fantastic! If we determine you need a greater level of support, we can talk about my three-month product consulting package.
