You want to move forward—with confidence, clarity, and authenticity.
But maybe you’re unsure how to begin. Whether you're navigating a career change, building a business, or reclaiming your self-worth, it helps to have someone who’s been there.
​
Hi, I’m Christy Miller Howard—and I’m here to walk alongside you.
In 2008, I founded The Authentic Image to help people express their unique style. That mission evolved in 2022 when I left behind a 40+ year corporate career and created Authentic Brand—a space where individuals rediscover themselves, grow with intention, and thrive authentically.
​
Why? Because I know how it feels to question your path—and your potential.
As an intuitive coach, I’ve supported hundreds of job seekers and entrepreneurs in shedding self-doubt and stepping boldly into their goals.
My greatest joy is watching clients realize their strength and shine.
​
From corporate to coaching, my mission has always stayed the same:
To empower you to believe in yourself, prepare for what's next, and navigate life with unwavering self-assurance.
How I Support You:
​
-
Career Empowerment: I help job seekers present their best selves with purpose—from resumes and LinkedIn profiles to confidence in interviews.
​​
-
Entrepreneur Coaching: I’ve walked away from corporate life myself. Now I help others do the same, building brands that align with their values and vision.
​​
-
Mental Health Advocacy: As someone who has faced struggles with self-worth, I bring empathy, honest advice, and wholehearted support into every coaching session.
​​
The symbols in the Authentic Brand logo say it all.
The sunflower reflects my energy—bright, warm, and full of positivity.
The butterfly stands for the transformation that happens when you choose to grow.
​
My clients describe me as an empathetic, insightful guide—equal parts heart and strategy.
As an ENFJ and Di on the DISC profile, I bring clarity, decisiveness, and deep care into every connection.
​
Here’s what I believe:
You’re more powerful than you realize. And with the right support, you can turn self-doubt into unshakable confidence and aspirations into tangible outcomes.
​
Ready to explore what’s possible?
Let’s take that next step together—with heart, purpose, and your authentic self leading the way.
