Reclaiming Your Identity in Business, Style & Motherhood

October 14, 20252 min read

Ever feel like you're doing everything — growing a business, raising a family, building a personal brand — and still wondering if it's clicking?

In this week’s episode of Make It You, Tannya chats with PR maven and mom of four, Cris Gordon, on how to stay true to yourself while building big things.

From career to kids to closets, here’s how she keeps it real and aligned.


1. Influence Isn’t About Followers

Big names don’t guarantee connection. Real impact comes from alignment.
→ Action:
Work with people who believe in your brand, not just those with a following.


2. Know the Goal of Every Campaign

PR? Sales? Awareness? Not every launch is about conversions.
→ Action: Build your strategy around your
real goals.


3. Use the “Do, Don’t, Delegate” Rule

No one balances it all, but systems help.
→ Action:
List what only you can do, what to cut, and what to delegate. Repeat often.


4. Your Mission = Your Filter

Cris says yes based on alignment, not obligation.
→ Action:
Get clear on your mission. Let it guide your decisions.


5. Motherhood Made Her Stronger

Cris hid her first pregnancy. Now she owns it as her superpower.
→ Action:
Don’t dim your light. Life changes can expand you, not shrink you.


6. Style Reflects Your Season

After years of “survival mode,” Cris re-embraced her bold, boss style.
→ Action:
Let your style evolve with you. It’s a form of power and presence.
