In today's attention economy, it is no longer about being the best, it is about being the best known. Top of Mind is your go-to podcast helping you stay top-of-mind as a business brand or individual, for free.
Top-of-mind awareness as a marketing term typically talks to the first brand that comes to mind when a consumer is asked about a particular product category or niche.
When you need to buy a phone, what brand do think of? When you need to look something up online, where do you go? When you want to get a coffee with a friend, what’s the first place you recommend?
When people think of you first, they’re more likely to purchase your products, service or business.

EP 42: The Designer Bag Theory: How to Reframe Rejection in Business
“Be the designer bag - not the bargain bin.”
In this solo episode, Hayley dives into a mindset shift that will completely reframe how you think about rejection, pricing, perceived value, and your worth as a business owner or service provider. It's called The Designer Bag Theory - and once you hear it, you'll never see “no” the same way again.
Whether you’re tired of discounting yourself, frustrated by client pushback on price, or just want to confidently stand in your value - this episode is your permission slip to stop begging and start owning your positioning.
In this episode, we unpack:
The Designer Bag Theory and how to apply it to rejection in business
Why perceived value isn’t universal — and that’s okay
How to stop selling to the wrong people (and what it’s costing you)
The real reason you don’t need to explain your worth to everyone
Why rejection is actually data - and how to use it to improve your offer
A reminder that you’re not for everyone - and that’s the point
