   40: The Business of Being Yourself

   In this episode of the Magic Hour Podcast (https://unicornmarketingco.ca/podcast-40-alicia-mccarvell/), I sit down with Alicia Mccarvell (https://www.instagram.com/aliciamccarvell/), a content creator and entrepreneur who has a gift for making people laugh while saying the thing that hits straight to the heart. Alicia uses humour to tackle conversations around body image, worth, and self-love. Sharing everything from workout routines and dance videos to updates on her relationship with her husband, Alicia hopes to relate, inspire laughter, and break down barriers. I hope this conversation reminds you that you do not have to shrink to be worthy, you do not have to perform to be loved, and you do not have to wait until you feel perfectly confident to start taking up space. 🎧 TLDR, here's the cliff notes of this episode. We talk about: ⚡ Building an online personal brand without losing yourself ⚡ The moment Alicia realized her content was making people feel seen ⚡ Rewriting wellness so it is not about shrinking, fixing, or punishing yourself ⚡ Why Alicia uses the word 'movement' instead of 'exercise' ⚡ Healing her relationship with supplements, fitness, food, and body image ⚡ Becoming part-owner of Cira Nutrition and building a more inclusive wellness brand ⚡ What makes Cira Nutrition feel different in the hydration and supplement space ⚡ What authentic brand partnerships actually look like behind the scenes ⚡ Protecting audience trust and refusing to “post and ghost” ⚡ Alicia’s content pillars and house metaphor for building boundaries online ⚡ Confidence, worth, and why neither should be rooted in how your body looks ⚡ The power of sharing your story and remembering that you are only alone until you tell someone This one is for anyone who has ever felt like wellness was not made for them. For anyone who has been told that confidence comes after becoming smaller, quieter, more polished, or easier to understand. For anyone trying to build something beautiful online without losing themselves in the process. 📖 Read the full show notes at unicornmarketingco.ca/podcast (https://unicornmarketingco.ca/podcast-40-alicia-mccarvell/) 📝 This episode is sponsored by Flodesk (https://flodesk.com/c/UNICORNMARKETING).
