and not because I've been a fake or not because I'm showing up as somebody I'm not but I would almost show up on lives and I'd have interviews with people or I deliver a workshop and I almost was so high energy it felt like a performance and as an introvert I'd then need like two or three days to recover and it was almost like I felt internally there was

some incongruence, I can never say that word, between who I am when I'm at home when nobody's watching versus who I was showing up.

And for me, it was a real understanding of you don't have to be high energy.

You don't have to force this magnetism.

If you're just you, it naturally happens.

So for people who are maybe

worried about showing up authentically, like, are there any tips that you can share or anything that you go through with your clients to really help them embody and embrace who they are from the offset?

Yeah, I love that so much.

And actually, even recently, I've started sharing a lot more on Instagram stories.

And I think for me, it's almost like, you know, it's gone in 24 hours.

So it's there to make impact in a really quick time.

But it's almost allowing people to see me in like my natural state.

So yesterday, I posted on my stories saying that the one thing that I absolutely hate hearing and seeing on the online space is that

how you look and how you dress will impact how successful you are.

And I was a bit like, well, today I've literally been in a tracksuit.

I've been in my sheepskin slippers.

My hair needs a wash, but I've still done X, Y and Z. You know, the branded photos that you see of me online, I don't look like that every day.

That is an elevated, heightened version of me.

That is how I can look when I've had a full glam squad.

But I don't show up every day.
