The #1 Mistake I Made When I First Started My Business

I lost an entire podcast episode this week.Not metaphorically. Literally.After weeks of tech glitches, computer crashes, disappearing recordings, missing files, and a podcast episode that somehow recorded without audio... I found myself re-recording content I'd already created and wondering if the universe was trying to send me a message. And honestly?I think it was.Because underneath all the frustration was a reminder I needed to hear myself:More isn't always the answer.Not more productivity.Not more hours.Not more clients.And in the same sense... not always making more money either.In this episode, I'm sharing the money lesson I wish I had learned when I booked my very first $75 photo shoot: how to create a simple system for your money before your income grows.Because making more money doesn't automatically create wealth.Choosing where your money is going and how it's working for you does.Inside This Episode:the string of tech disasters that forced me to slow downwhat these setbacks pushed back on related to my relationship with overworking and productivitywhy higher income doesn't automatically equal financial freedomthe biggest money mistake most business owners make early on (and sometimes later on too...)how to stop feeling like your money disappears every monthcreating a home for every dollar before it's spentthe difference between making money and keeping moneya behind-the-scenes look at the Good With Money Budget System that's inside of my mastermind program, In Her EraIf you've ever looked at your bank account and wondered where all your money went... this episode is for you.WORK WITH BREEANNAWebsite: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠breeannakay.com/rebelceo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Breeanna on Instagram + TikTok: @rebel.ceo.podcast

The Secret to Becoming Unforgettable Online

Everyone keeps saying the internet is saturated.I don't buy it.Because every day I watch women with tiny audiences build businesses, sell out offers, and create communities that are absolutely obsessed with what they do.Meanwhile, other people are posting three times a day, chasing trends, trying to crack the algorithm… and getting nowhere.So what's the difference?In this episode, I sit down with personal branding strategist Malika Berube to talk about what actually makes people remember you online.Not your logo, your aesthetic, or another "5 tips" carousel.You.We dive into why some people seem magnetic no matter what they post, why virality is often overrated, and the biggest mistake entrepreneurs make when they're trying to stand out online.If you've ever caught yourself thinking:"Nobody cares what I post.""The market is too saturated.""I need more followers before people take me seriously."This conversation is your wake-up call.Because becoming unforgettable has a lot less to do with algorithms and a lot more to do with identity.Why the internet isn't saturated—most people are just becoming forgettableThe surprising story of how Malika started building her business at 17 instead of going to collegeWhy people buy into people, not businessesThe difference between attention and emotional investmentHow to create content that's unmistakably youThe biggest reason entrepreneurs feel "boring" onlineWhy trying to sound professional can kill your magnetismThe truth about going viral (and why more views don't automatically mean more sales)How to build a personal brand people can describe in five secondsThe difference between teaching a topic and creating an identityWhy vulnerability creates deeper client relationships than expertise aloneThe fine line between polarizing content and mean-girl marketingHow to stop seeking validation online and start creating real impact"If you're always filtering yourself, then people are filtering you."CONNECT WITH MELANIE -Instagram: @malikaberubeListen to Bree's Interview on Malika's Podcast (The Power of Personal Branding & Manifestation) -Listen on Apple:https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/how-to-align-with-your-natural-energy-blueprint-to/id1753221324?i=1000769632053Listen on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/episode/02KaxAyQlGSyxnqKqTlvfS?si=8UAfkTjwQfioVL5F7cZR-AWORK WITH BREEANNAWebsite: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠breeannakay.com/rebelceo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Breeanna on Instagram + TikTok: @rebel.ceo.podcast

Why Suffering Online Has Become a Kind of Identity (and how to step out of it)

I think one of the biggest lies people are quietly carrying right now is the idea that if you’re happy while the world is hurting… you must not care enough.And lately, I’ve been noticing how much pressure there is online to stay emotionally plugged into outrage, tragedy, fear, and collective heaviness 24/7 (almost like suffering publicly has become proof that you’re a good person).So this episode became a really honest conversation about joy, emotional responsibility, social media outrage, nervous system overload, and whether people have subconsciously become addicted to suffering.Because where is the line between being informed… and being emotionally consumed?And are we actually helping the world when we’re constantly drowning alongside it?In this conversation with Melanie Huestis, we talk about collective fear, cancel culture, protecting your peace without spiritually bypassing reality, and why choosing joy right now can almost feel rebellious.We also get into:Why some people feel guilty being happyThe pressure to publicly perform outrage onlineHow social media keeps people emotionally overstimulatedWhy your nervous system was never meant to carry the whole worldThe difference between awareness and emotional self-destructionHow suffering can quietly become part of someone’s identityRadical responsibility for your own happinessWhy joy is something you create internally... not something you stumble intoStaying grounded without disconnecting from realityThe energetic ripple effect of kindness, presence, and emotional regulationThis episode honestly felt like two people sitting down and questioning a lot of the things we’ve collectively accepted as “normal” lately.And whether constantly consuming heaviness is actually making us better humans… or just more disconnected from ourselves.CONNECT WITH MELANIE -Instagram: @melaniehuestisMelanie's Website - ⁠⁠⁠melaniehuestis.comWORK WITH BREEANNAWebsite: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠breeannakay.com/rebelceo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Breeanna on Instagram + TikTok: @rebel.ceo.podcast

Not Everybody Deserves Full Access to You... And That Doesn't Make You Cold

I ended a podcast recording early.And honestly? Ending the recording felt more aligned than forcing the conversation just because it was already happening.(Ironically, the recording was on "killing off your inner good girl," so I guess I took it quite literally?)Honestly though, nobody was a villain and the guest does some really cool work! But my body knew before my brain wanted to admit it… something felt off.And I think a lot of women ignore that feeling because we’ve been conditioned to prioritize being polite over being honest with ourselves.So this episode turned into something completely different.We’re talking about energetic boundaries, intuition, spiritual superiority, people pleasing, nervous system protection, and the difference between being loving… versus being fully available to everybody.Not everybody deserves access to the deepest layers of you just because they’re in the room with you.I also share:Why I stopped the recordingHow I'm leaning into my own intuition, not outside noiseReleasing the need to over-explainWhy boundaries don't automatically mean cold... even if others think you areWhy your nervous system is not public propertyHow resentment forms when boundaries go unspokenThe importance of protecting your peace without closing your heartThis one feels like a voice memo from a version of me that’s learning how to trust herself faster and isn't scared to say no.And maybe you need that reminder too, which is why I wanted to share today's story publicly.Welcome back to Rebel CEO Podcast. <3WORK WITH BREEANNAWebsite: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠breeannakay.com/rebelceo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Breeanna on Instagram + TikTok: @rebel.ceo.podcast

Is Trying Harder Backfiring in Your Business?

If your business has hit a slow spot lately or you’ve been overthinking every move, refreshing your metrics, and wondering why things aren’t clicking anymore...this episode is going to call you out (in the best way).Because it probably has something to do with your refusal to detach. AKA... you’re trying to control the outcome.In this solo episode, Breeanna breaks down the subtle (but powerful) ways control shows up in your business... like overworking, obsessing over numbers, and gripping tightly to one specific vision of success... plus how that energy is actually repelling the very growth you want.She also shares a real-time identity shift she’s moving through: questioning what it means to be “fully self-employed,” and how leaning into something she once resisted might actually unlock more freedom, not less.This is your permission slip to stop forcing, stop micromanaging your growth, and start allowing your business to expand in ways you didn’t originally plan for, but might be even better.💥 IN THIS EPISODE:The real reason you feel stuck in your business (and why there are so many more layers than strategy to it)How controlling the outcome creates “repelling” energy (even if you’re doing everything right)Why overworking and hustling can actually slow your income downThe subtle ways you’re tying your self-worth to metrics (and how to break it)What your “worst case scenario” might actually be trying to show youHow identity attachment (“I could never do that”) keeps you stuck in cyclesWhy opportunities show up when you finally stop trying so hardWORK WITH BREEANNAWebsite: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠breeannakay.com/rebelceo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Breeanna on Instagram + TikTok: @rebel.ceo.podcastRebel CEO Podcast Shownotes: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠breeannakay.com/releasing-business-control⁠
