21. Show Up Authentically, Be Yourself and Create Deeper Connection

In this episode, I (Nancy) share the story that led me to doing the work I do now at our company, The Time to Grow. After climbing the corporate ladder for a decade, a series of wake up calls forced me to reassess everything. I reveal how suddenly losing my father and facing my own health crisis became the catalyst for walking away from my leadership career, despite financial obligations that would make most people cling to security.


I talk about how the determination that made me the first college graduate in my family ultimately gave me the courage to build a business aligned with my authentic self. You'll hear why I believe personal branding isn't about perfection, but about embracing your genuine story and expertise.


Join me as I explore why authenticity is the missing piece for many service professionals struggling with imposter syndrome and how showing up as your true self creates deeper connections with ideal clients. I'll share practical insights on transforming your unique journey into content that resonates and converts on LinkedIn.


This episode is for anyone who's ever felt the tension between who they really are and who they think they should be professionally. Let's talk about finding the courage to build a business and life you genuinely love.
