Manage episode 505679226 series 3593309
Are you tired of feeling like you're constantly hustling… but not gaining traction?
You're not alone. So many entrepreneurs—especially women—feel like they have to chase success, fitting into a mold that doesn’t reflect who they truly are.
In this special episode, recorded live at the Girl Cave Summit, I’m sharing the real story behind how I stopped chasing opportunities and started attracting them—by showing up as my most authentic, colorful, and quirky self.
I opened up about:
✨ The exhausting trap of performative networking
✨ What happens when you shift from hustle to alignment
✨ My exact journey from gray-suit corporate marketer to magnetic entrepreneur (yes, red hair and Mini Cooper included!)
This talk is full of vulnerable stories, powerful mindset shifts, and actionable advice to help you build a brand that feels so good to show up for.
💡 What You'll Learn:
The secret to creating magnetic marketing (without burning out)
How to stop performing and start connecting in your visibility strategy
Real-life examples of how authenticity attracts the right people
What happened when I ditched the black suit and showed up fully as me
