But it doesn't stop me from serving clients.

It doesn't stop me from sharing my message.

And I think there's so much in the online space and in the world that tries to diminish women, tries to keep them small, tries to shame them into thinking that they have to look or act or behave a certain way.

So I love that we have platforms available to us now that really allow us to reveal parts of ourselves that people wouldn't normally see because it's private.

And I think that that is being an iconic leader.

is showing every single side of you from a place of power.

and we're all consuming so much content now aren't we that unless you're curating your feed you're going to start to hear other people's negative opinions or you're going to start to absorb other people's drama and it's almost like I don't need to be sucked into this vortex yes and it's all about if you keep showing up and and

and sharing content from a place of love or trust, or I want you to learn this lesson that I learned the hard way, that's feeding into your self-leadership, but also allowing people to see how you're different or how you work differently to other people in your industry.

Because none of us are doing anything particularly new, but it's the way that we deliver it.

It's the way that we show up, the way we speak, the way we make people feel.

And unless you're showing up, other people can't experience that.

Yeah.

And what's really interesting is I've not always kind of shared too much of my personal life.

And I've always been like, oh, you know, I don't have a personal story.

Everyone's got a personal story.

Yeah.

But for me, it's kind of not the rags and riches story that would get me in the national newspapers.

But there are stories that my audience can relate to.

And I don't love my legs.

But last summer, I was so hot.
