This Skincare Should Be Everywhere - Mercedes Pepper (Ep. 16)

Meet Mercedes Pepper. She’s the founder of Nation Botanics, a skincare brand rooted in sustainability, designed for faces exposed to the elements.
 
Her products are stunning. Her mission is bold. But her messaging? Confusing. Technical. And too easy to scroll past.
 
Mercedes came on the show hoping for some direction. What she got instead… was a reckoning.
 
I’m Talyn Rahman-Figueroa, your diplomat turned personal brand expert. And I give small business owners boss-level feedback to show them where their brand is leaking power, and what it really takes to scale.
 
Can I help Mercedes stop talking like a label, and start showing up like a category leader?

Helping this therapist get specific - Shasterin Valetin (Ep. 13)

I’m meeting with Shasterin Valentin, a bilingual clinical social worker and founder of Respira Wellness. 
Her business is just a year old, but she’s already hitting a wall. Like many founders, she’s trying to include everyone, even though she thought focusing on BIPOC women made her niche specific enough.
But there are gaps in her messaging that she probably can’t see.

The Tooth Fairy needs back-up - Stacey Laviolette (Ep. 12)

I’m meeting with Stacey Laviolette, the creator of My Friend Toothy®, a companion plushie for kids going through the milestone of losing their teeth.
Stacey has done all the right things for her business. She trademarked her brand. Promoted the product in the media. She’s even preparing to pitch on Dragon’s Den.
But despite all of that, something is still missing. Stacey is showing up for the business, but not inside it. How do you sell a children’s product when people buying it can’t feel the human and life behind the brand? 
That’s where I come in. I’m Talyn Rahman-Figueroa, your personal brand expert and Fairy BOSSmother - and I’m about to give Stacey boss-level insights into her own brand. Do you think I can help bring Toothy and Stacey to life before she pitches on national TV?
Let’s get started and meet Stacey Laviolette.

She had the products, but not the positioning - Kelly Caisse (Ep. 11)

I’m meeting with farmer and fermentation expert, Kelly Caisse of KD Crop Farm.
Kelly has been in business for 20 years and is stuck when it comes to attracting the right clients, especially during low season. Kelly believes she’s made a good effort in showing up in her business, especially with all of the changes she’s made to her marketing, but there are gaps that she probably doesn’t see.
I’m Talyn Rahman-Figueroa, your personal brand expert, and I’m about to look at Kelly’s brand, no filter, just real talk, by looking into her bigger aspirations and whether her current brand is keeping her from achieving those big goals or whether it’s in fact keeping her tied down.
Can I help bring Kelly’s personal brand back to life so she can start monetizing her knowledge to attract the right clients, no matter what season it is? Let’s find out.
Let’s meet Kelly Caisse.

Her work is beautiful. It’s personal. And it’s in high demand. But here’s the problem—without a website, she’s stuck. Custom orders are hard to manage. Scaling feels impossible. And time? It’s running out faster than she can fulfill the next request.
Can she protect what makes her products special? Can a handmade business grow without losing its meaning? And how do you turn something so intimate into something scalable?I’m Talyn Rahman-Figueroa, your personal brand consultant.
Let’s see if the Fairy BOSSmother can help Mel stitch together her next move.Let’s meet Mel Calabrese.If you are a small business owner and want your brand reviewed for FREE, apply to be a guest of the show here.

This coach is fighting with a ghost - Pam Landry (Ep. 09)

Today on The Fairy BOSSmother Show, I’m meeting with caregiving coach, Pam Landry—also known as Coach Pam.
Pam has made decisions that most people never even have to think about. She’s been in the trenches with families navigating life-and-death situations, and she’s taken all of that real-life experience and turned it into something powerful: a coaching business that supports caregivers through their most overwhelming seasons.
She’s built her business as Coach Landry—but with a name that competes with a well-known football coach, and a website that played it too safe, Pam was unintentionally making herself hard to find.
In this episode, we break that wide open. We talk about visibility, story, confidence, and what it looks like when you stop filtering your truth and start showing up as the expert you already are.
Let’s meet Coach Pam Landry.
