Are you tired of feeling like you're constantly hustling… but not gaining traction?

You're not alone. So many entrepreneurs—especially women—feel like they have to chase success, fitting into a mold that doesn’t reflect who they truly are.

In this special episode, recorded live at the Girl Cave Summit, I’m sharing the real story behind how I stopped chasing opportunities and started attracting them—by showing up as my most authentic, colorful, and quirky self.

I opened up about:
✨ The exhausting trap of performative networking
✨ What happens when you shift from hustle to alignment
✨ My exact journey from gray-suit corporate marketer to magnetic entrepreneur (yes, red hair and Mini Cooper included!)

This talk is full of vulnerable stories, powerful mindset shifts, and actionable advice to help you build a brand that feels so good to show up for.

💡 What You'll Learn:

The secret to creating magnetic marketing (without burning out)

How to stop performing and start connecting in your visibility strategy

Real-life examples of how authenticity attracts the right people

What happened when I ditched the black suit and showed up fully as me

Do you feel curious about using AI in your marketing—but totally freaked out it’ll make you sound like a corporate robot?

You’re not alone. In fact, a recent Pew Research study found that nearly 60% of small business owners are nervous to use AI because they don’t want to lose that human touch. And I get it. The first time I used ChatGPT, I was SO excited… until it spit out something that sounded like it was written by a finance bro from 2004. Yikes.

In this episode, I’m walking you through exactly how to use AI tools like ChatGPT without sacrificing your unique voice or brand personality. You’ll learn:
✨ Why you should always start with your own voice (not the bot’s)
✨ How to train AI to match your vibe and energy
✨ The secret to using AI for structure, not soul
✨ My four go-to tips for keeping your content sounding like you (not a robot)

Whether you’re a coach, creative, or small biz owner, this episode will help you confidently use AI as your assistant—not your replacement.
