E9 | Is Your Anxiety...Your Superpower? with Missy Boser
In this episode, Missy Boser and I talk about the messy, beautiful intersection of authenticity, anxiety, and leadership.
Missy’s story is powerful — she started her journey as a successful health and wellness blogger, openly sharing her 100-pound weight loss and passion for running. But in 2014, long before mental health was part of the mainstream conversation, she made the bold decision to speak publicly about her struggles with anxiety.
Then, during a winter run, everything changed. Missy suffered a serious accident that led to a traumatic brain injury and a long, challenging recovery. That experience forced her to slow down, reevaluate her priorities, and completely reframe how she approached both life and leadership.
Today, as a healthcare tech leader managing three teams, Missy champions the belief that showing up as your full, human self at work isn’t just allowed — it’s essential. She talks openly about how authenticity takes practice, how vulnerability is a leadership strength, and how professional and personal growth are far more intertwined than we sometimes want to admit.
Key Takeaways
✨ Authenticity isn’t a destination — it’s something you build through small, brave moments of practice.
✨ Your personal challenges can actually become your greatest professional strengths.
✨ The best networking doesn’t start with a pitch — it starts with genuine curiosity.
✨ Vulnerability isn’t a weakness — it’s what builds true trust with your team and community.
✨ Your social media (and your brand) should reflect your real values and real energy.
✨ Growth almost always feels uncomfortable — and that's often a sign you're doing something brave.
✨ Talking openly about mental health can inspire, lead, and create spaces where others feel seen.
This conversation is for anyone who’s ever wondered if their struggles disqualify them from leadership, or if it’s really possible to lead and build a brand while being fully yourself.
