Vulnerability is not a marketing strategy—it’s a human strategy.

In this solo episode, I open up about the deep emotional cost of hiding behind polished content and perfectionism. For years, I kept things “professional” in my business, thinking that showing up with raw honesty would damage my credibility. But it did the opposite. It disconnected me from my audience, my mission, and even myself.

If you’ve been scared to show up as your whole self online—or you’re afraid your story is “too much”—this episode is your permission slip to be real, to be messy, and to still lead.

Key Takeaways

  • Why your business can’t grow without emotional connection
  • How perfectionism and fear of judgment keep you stuck
  • The real difference between oversharing and powerful storytelling
  • How to share from the scar, not the wound
  • Why your story doesn’t need to be dramatic to be valuable
  • The “Me Too” rule for sharing vulnerably
  • How vulnerability leads to better discovery calls, deeper clients, and lasting trust
  • Why polished funnels can’t replace human connection
  • What it means to show up without a script—but with purpose

Resources Mentioned

  • YourHealthCoachBiz.com – Done-for-you content, funnels, and programs to support authentic connection
  • Tools to practice vulnerability: Instagram Stories, micro shares, and journaling prompts
  • Influencers who model it well: Jenna Kutcher and other real-voice creators

This is your nudge. Show up as you—unfiltered, imperfect, and human. That’s the business people remember.
