Confession: I’m struggling to maintain an online persona that aligns with who I am in real life. I know this is rooted in fear of criticism or backlash, and it’s holding me back from expressing my authentic self and making genuine connections with my audience. If you’re in the same boat, know you’re not alone! In this episode, I’m challenging myself to embrace my gift for storytelling on all of my platforms and inviting you to take a moment to reflect on your online presence. What parts of your true self are you not revealing?

We know this process can be challenging and uncomfortable, but by accepting your journey of finding yourself, you will live a more satisfying and enjoyable life, despite any outside criticism.
