If You’re Building Something That’s Not Landing—This Might Be Why
About this episode
This was an impromptu Substack Live that turned into something much deeper than I expected.
What started as a casual convo about UX design quickly became a powerful breakdown of how user experience thinking applies far beyond software.
In this live episode, I share the full arc of how I went from corporate UX strategist to building a business around experience-first strategy—and why I believe everyone is already a UX designer in their own way.
Whether you’re a coach, a writer, a founder, or just trying to create something meaningful… if you’ve ever asked yourself:
* Who am I really building this for?
* How do I help people actually experience transformation—not just consume content?
* What am I really designing when I create an offer, a business, or a brand?
…this episode is for you.
What You’ll Learn:
* What UX actually is—and why it’s not just about “making things look pretty”
* UX is just a fancy word for being intentional about how someone feels when they interact with your work.
* The story of my first UX job (and the color-change moment that changed everything)
* Why emotional alignment matters more than any strategy
* The connection between identity → experience → outcome (inspired by Atomic Habits)
* Why clarity doesn’t come from copying—it comes from reconnecting with who you are
* We’re all designing experiences—whether we realize it or not.
* Before you build a system, reclaim your identity. Otherwise, it won’t stick.
