Welcome to Wickedly Branded: Marketing, Magic, and The Messy Middle (https://wickedlybranded.com/marketing...) , the podcast where real conversations meet real strategies. I'm your host, Beverly Cornell, founder and fairy godmother of brand clarity at Wickedly Branded (https://wickedlybranded.com/) . With over 25 years of experience, I’ve helped hundreds of entrepreneurs awaken their brand magic, attract the right people, and build businesses that light them up.


In this grounded and inspiring episode, Katherine Lacefield, founder of Just Be Cause Consulting, shares how she went from burnout in the nonprofit sector to building a purpose-driven consulting business rooted in clarity, confidence, and connection.


We talk brand clarity, sustainable visibility, systems that create headspace, values-led marketing, and why relationships, not hustle, have been the real growth engine behind her success.


If you’ve ever felt like an accidental entrepreneur, questioned your authority, struggled with imposter syndrome, or felt overwhelmed by marketing that doesn’t feel like you, this conversation will remind you that clarity is created through action, not perfection, and that you’re more ready than you think.


Three Key Marketing Topics Discussed:

1. Brand Clarity Through Experience, Not Perfection
Katherine shares how clarity came after she started, not before, and why testing, conversations, and real-world feedback shaped a brand that finally felt aligned.
2. Visibility That Feels Sustainable and Human
We explore how consistency, repurposing, and simple systems made it easier for Katherine to show up confidently without burning out or overcomplicating content.
3. Systems, Support, and Confidence as Growth Catalysts
From hiring branding support to using templates and automations, Katherine explains how simplifying marketing created the headspace needed to grow her business and her confidence at the same time.
