The Balance Between Authenticity and Privacy in the Online Space

In this episode, Molly talks about the delicate balance between authenticity and privacy when sharing personal stories online. She shares how her own approach to visibility and vulnerability has evolved—from early, unfiltered openness to a more intentional and grounded form of self-expression. Molly discusses what it means to “share from the scar, not the wound,” and how understanding your motives, emotional readiness, and audience can transform storytelling into a tool for connection and leadership. She also offers insights into how women can reclaim their voices on LinkedIn by owning their experiences and trusting their instincts about what feels aligned to share.

Key Takeaways from the Episode

• Share intentionally, not impulsively
• Your story can evolve as you do
