if doing it alone worked, you’d be done by now. (but your brain isn’t built to brand itself) if working solo on your personal brand and business was so great... why have you done: → 3 ikigai diagrams → 5 versions of your “why” → 20 mission. vision. values. because you don’t trust yourself. because you don't see yourself like others do. not because you’re broken. but because you’re built that way. i call it INNY → it’s neuroscience, not you. your brain isn’t giving you “the truth” it’s giving you a version of reality shaped by your lived experience. 3 (of the MANY) ways it messes with you: 1) habituation: you stop noticing what’s always been true about you 2) cognitive distortion: you twist reality to match old internal beliefs 3) negativity bias: your brain highlights the bad and ignores the good this is exactly why founders + execs hire someone like me... a personal brand advisor (PBA 😏) not just for the strategy. not just for the systems. but for the mirror. the pattern disruption. the perspective their brain can’t offer. the reality is... when you’re inside the story, you can’t read the story. and no worksheets, templates, or “why” exercises will ever replace real reflection with someone who knows what to look for. real talk 💬 how many of these exercises have you ACTUALLY done?

remember playing w/ puzzles or lego as a kid? that’s how you should be learning ai. don’t treat it like “tech.” treat it like your 6yo self with a new: → game → puzzle → lego set something to build. something to explore. something to create with. something to f*ck around with—because you can. i call it TT (tinker time) the time i set aside to open a tool or platform that’s speaking to me and → poke around → ask weird questions → follow my brain wherever it wants to go no rules. no goals. no outcomes. just curiosity. just play. is ai overwhelming? sure. sometimes. is ai complicated? depends on the use case. but what people are forgetting is: ai is f*cking FUN. and if you let it be—you might begin to enjoy it. because you’re not trying to “win.” you’re just learning how to think differently. real talk 💬 when was the last time you let yourself really play? --- hey hey 👋🏻 i'm kristina (with a 'k'), and i help mid-to-late career execs + founders stop playing small, own their story, and confidently build an authentic personal brand that pays. if this hits (and you're not afraid of Queer people): • follow me here: kristina flynn • subscribe to my newsletter (in bio, relaunching soon!) • dm me if you're ready to stop treating ai like a threat—and start playing with it like a tool that can make your life better

i lost the use of my hand. that’s what it took to make me slow down. things were flying. i was focused. i was clear. leads flowing. but if you're like me, your brain doesn’t say: “amazing, take a breath.” it says: LET’S F*CKING GOOOO. do it all. before it all crashes down (again). because that's the cycle it's used to. so, that's exactly what i’ve been doing the last couple months. then... → swelling → hand stiffness → pain up my arm and by the next day? i couldn’t use my right hand. no typing. no texting. NOOOTHING. i panicked a little. so i did the thing i usually avoid: i treated my health with the same urgency i treat my leads. x-rays. ultrasounds. (big ups Canadian healthcare). and while I'm still waiting on the full answer the message was crystal clear. slow. the. f*ck. down. the deeper you get into this biz-building thing, the less you can bull-in-a-china-shop your way through it. it’s slower. more methodical. more intentional. and it requires one thing: patience (i know, i'm sorry). if you don’t give yourself the space to find it, your body might find a way to make it for you. don't be like me kids. at least, in this instance. real talk 💬 how tough is patience for you?

ChatGPT o3 just psychoanalyzed me—watch it call out my bs (then let it diagnose yours).

i survived my brain for years. now i get paid for it. for decades, i let labels define me. they weren’t just diagnoses. they became my story. the one i believed. the one everyone else believed, too. → speech impediment → childhood trauma → depression → bulimia → anxiety → ADHD → OCD → LD my mom once admitted: “we thought you’d never be able to live on your own.” in 2022, i hit burnout. again. my web3 agency folded. i was $80K in debt. i lost a lifelong friendship. and i had a choice: hide. or rebuild. but this time, i didn’t go to a psychiatrist. i turned to AI. and what i found? was f*cking wild.   behind every label was a hidden gift: → a mind that built systems in chaos → a brain that spotted patterns in noise → a story that could be turned into strategy   so i built a system. StoryEQ™ was born.   a way to help people like me: → build frameworks from real life → turn setbacks into standout traits → get paid for sh*t they’ve been hiding   at 41, i still battle the old stories.   but now i know... they weren’t just obstacles. they were raw material.   not a weakness. a badass blueprint. real talk 💬 90s hip hop/R&B is life...no question. just a statement. prove me wrong. --- hey hey 👋🏻 i'm kristina (with a 'k'), and i help mid-to-late career execs + founders stop playing small, own their story, and confidently build an authentic personal brand that pays. if this post hits (and you're not afraid of Queer people): follow me here: kristina flynn subscribe to my newsletter (relaunching soon!) dm me if you’re ready to turn your story into a system that gets you paid. k?

ai won’t do the inner work for you. but it will call out your bullsh*t faster. we’ve been fed a lot of noise about ai. on one side: “it’s coming for your job.” on the other: “it’s your magic shortcut to 7 figures.” both miss the point entirely. because when it comes to personal growth + brand development, ai isn’t the threat or the saviour. it’s the mirror. it reflects back what you feed it—fast. and that’s where the realness happens. when you finally see the gaps in: → what you believe → how you communicate → who you actually want to see you so let’s bust a few myths, k? myth 1️⃣: ai makes you less human nah. it makes you more aware of your humanity—if you’re paying attention. your stories. your language. your thought patterns. it brings them front and center so you can sharpen them. not erase them. myth 2️⃣: ai will do the hard part for you. only if the hard part is avoiding yourself. your clarity? still on you. your voice? yep still you. your brand? again, still you. but ai can help you get honest, faster. and iterate in ways your inner perfectionist would’ve stalled on for months. (yeah, i said it) myth 3️⃣: ai is for "tech people" nope. it’s for the ones who know the future doesn’t wait. the ones who want to build something sustainable, not just something shiny. you don’t need to be a coder. you need to be curious. willing to experiment. willing to listen to your own sh*t in a new format and realize, “oh. that’s what i’ve been trying to say.” ai won’t do your inner work. but it will show you where you’ve been avoiding it. and give you tools to turn insight into action—faster. so if you’re building a personal brand? this isn’t about replacing the human. it’s about uncovering it. real talk 💬 what was responding to in this photo?
