There’s a moment every extraordinary woman can point to—the moment she was told to dim her light.

For Trish Lindo, it came in a performance review. A polished, powerful, wildly capable Black woman working in media and tech, Trish was told she was too ambitious.

Not too late. Not too green. Not too off-brand.

Too ambitious.

And instead of taking that as a warning? She made it her brand.

Trish turned a corporate critique into a creative revolution—building Too Ambitious, a personal branding consultancy and platform that now elevates high-impact Black women and women of color. It wasn’t just a clever name. It was a reclamation. A refusal to apologize for playing big.

In her Luxe Leap episode, Trish shares what it meant to rewrite the rules and stop performing palatable success. Because when you’re building a brand for Champagne Clientele, playing small is not an option.

Ambition Isn’t a Liability. It’s a Luxury.

Every high-achieving woman has been labeled too something. Too direct. Too polished. Too confident. Too loud.

The subtext? Be less of who you are.

But a brand that attracts premium clients doesn’t come from softening your edges. It comes from sharpening your vision.

Trish didn’t build a brand to appease the market. She built one that commanded it. And it started by owning the exact thing she was told to tone down.

That’s the nuance of personal branding at this level. It’s not about fitting in. It’s about becoming unforgettable to the people who matter most.

Your Brand Is the Room You Build When They Keep Shutting the Door

Let’s be honest: most traditional branding advice wasn’t written for women like us.

The women breaking ceilings, not just climbing ladders. The women whose ambition is generational, not performative.

Trish built Too Ambitious for the women who are done asking for permission to be powerful. And in doing so, she created a movement. A brand. A business. A platform that allows other women to take up space.

Because when you stop shrinking to fit into their frameworks, you start designing your own architecture.

Building a Brand That Becomes the Standard

A Champagne Clientele doesn’t just want your service. They want your stance. Your story. Your standard.

And that means your brand can’t just be strategic. It has to be sovereign.

Trish’s Luxe Leap conversation is a mirror for every woman building a premium brand in a world that prefers she stay small. Her story isn’t just inspiring. It’s instructional. Because when you own your ambition, unapologetically, you unlock a level of magnetism that can’t be manufactured.

Because the truth is, the labels they tried to weaponize might just be your legacy.
