Episode 18 | She Marketed the World’s Biggest Brands — Then Rebuilt Her Life From the Inside Out with Roisin Branch
What happens when the career you built — with all the right titles, all the right brands, and all the external success — no longer fits?
In this powerful episode, I’m joined by Roisin Branch, former Chief Marketing Officer at Fountain Life (founded by Tony Robbins and Peter Diamandis), who spent 20+ years leading marketing for iconic brands like Equinox, SoulCycle, and BLADE.
She jokes that her LinkedIn reads like a Tinder profile for marketers — but in 2021, a near-fatal accident forced her to reevaluate everything.
We talk about:
The signs of misalignment that high-achieving women often ignore
Why fear, perfectionism, and “success on paper” can keep you stuck
The moment she realized she was building other people’s dreams — not her own
How to reconnect with your intuition and purpose (including a powerful visualization exercise you can try today)
What to do if you feel like you’re meant for more… but aren’t sure what comes next
This one is for the woman quietly wondering, “Is this really it?”
The fog might be thick — but clarity comes through momentum. Let’s dive in.
5 Key Takeaways:
1. Success on paper doesn’t always mean alignment.
Roisin built a marketing career that looked “perfect” from the outside — but inside, she was slowly disconnecting from her purpose. A life-altering accident forced her to confront the truth: she was building someone else’s dream.
2. The signs are always there — we just learn to ignore them.
From health issues to burnout to inner restlessness, Roisin shares how the body and subconscious often signal misalignment long before we consciously acknowledge it.
3. Your intuition is a muscle — and it gets louder with use.
Learning to listen to her intuition helped Roisin rebuild her life and career from a place of inner wisdom instead of external validation.
4. High-achieving women often carry subconscious programming rooted in fear.
Roisin sees common patterns in the women she coaches — perfectionism, people-pleasing, and attaching identity to achievement — and helps them break free to lead with clarity and confidence.
5. The future-self exercise can unlock surprising clarity.
She shares a powerful “billionaire self” visualization tool that helps you connect with the version of you who already has everything — and make decisions from alignment, not fear.Connect with Lindsey:

Hi, I’m Anastasiia!
Ukrainian-born, Miami-based, and someone who spent over a decade building a successful marketing career before finally building something that felt like mine.
I didn’t leave corporate on a whim. I left because I wanted creative freedom, flexible time, and a business that aligned with my life — not the other way around.
It started as a freelance gig. Then a full roster. Then a boutique real estate marketing agency. Now, it’s also this — an education platform and podcast that helps women like you transition from “stuck” to “started.”
I’m here to teach you how to build a business that fits your goals, your energy, and your version of success.
