34 - Networking Detox — Letting Go of What (and Who) Isn’t Working

Send a text

Ever leave a networking event wondering why you even went? Or keep showing up somewhere out of obligation instead of opportunity? In this episode, we’re walking through what a real networking detox looks like — and why you might need one. A networking detox isn’t about quitting; it’s about auditing your time, your energy, and your results so you can stop networking on autopilot. How do you know if it’s normal discomfort (aka growth) or a sign of misalignment? What if the groups you keep saying yes to are quietly holding you back? We’re diving into time audits, referral reality checks, and why clearing space in your networking strategy can create room for stronger, more aligned connections. If 2026 is your reset year, this networking detox might be your first step.
