Summary

In today’s episode, I break down why you can’t grow your impact or your business by keeping your value a secret. Fear, perfectionism, and worrying about others’ opinions are the real roadblocks, not your product or service. I talk about how confidence, clarity, and communication become your foundation when paired with repetition and real feedback. You'll hear why practicing your pitch every day, getting comfortable being seen, and becoming familiar to your audience are key to long-term trust and success. Selling is never just about a transaction. It’s about service, consistency, and showing up as your full self without interference.
