Most entrepreneurs are stuck creating content people consume but never truly belong to. In this episode, Kimberly Gayle breaks down the difference between content creation and brand world building – and why building a world is the future of personal branding.

You'll learn what brand world building actually is, why it matters more than visibility tactics, and how to use the Bold World Framework to create a world your people desperately want to step into and belong to.

Kimberly shares personal stories from building the ABVGirl community and Final Draft Taphouse, reveals how to become the embodied leader of your world, and walks you through creating rituals, language, and "you had to be there" moments that make your brand unforgettable.

In This Episode:

• What brand world building is (and why content alone isn't enough)
• The house analogy: How your social media, podcast, and content are windows into your world
• Why your calls to action are invitations into your house
• The Bold World Framework: "In THIS World..." statements that define your culture
• How to embody Personal Brand Leadership as the creator of your world
• Creating rituals and insider moments (like the "Right On Cheers" and "Boldie Dance")
• Real examples: ABVGirl manifesto, Final Draft Taphouse, and the Bold Emergence world
• Step-by-step challenge to start building YOUR brand world this week

Saying goodbye to 2025 feels SO good! In this powerful year-end episode, Kimberly Gayle helps visionary women consciously leave behind what's no longer serving them and step boldly into 2026 as the leaders they're meant to be.

If you're a visionary woman with UNREASONABLE dreams and goals for 2026, this episode is your roadmap. Kimberly breaks down the 14 things we're leaving behind in 2025 (overconsumption, hiding, disconnection from self, broke-ass thinking, and more) and the 14 powerful focuses for 2026 (boldness as standard, holding vision, million-dollar habits, R.E.A.L. leadership, and self-connection).

This isn't just about flipping a calendar page—it's about consciously choosing to emerge as the bold visionary leader you were born to be. 2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse, and it's going to be fast and fruitful. But first, we need to do the deep work of reconnecting with ourselves.

Episode Highlights:

• The 14 things visionary women are leaving behind in 2025 (bye, bitches!)
• The 14 powerful focuses for bold visionary leadership in 2026
• Why self-connection and trust are the foundation of everything
• Million-dollar habits from Rachel Rodgers
• The R.E.A.L. leadership framework
• How personal branding starts with reconnecting to yourself
• Why visibility without emotional resonance is just noise

This Week's Challenge: The Bold Visionary Leadership Declaration - name what you're leaving behind, declare your focus for 2026, identify one bold action, and share it publicly.

This Week's Mantra: "I am a bold visionary leader, and 2026 is the year I go FIRST."
