Business Not As Usual with Megan Yelaney

Intentional Vulnerability, Oversharing, and the Fine Line Between Relatable and "Yikes"


Listen Later

Do you ever wonder if you're sharing too much online? Whether you're trying to connect with your audience, show the "real you," or just vent in the moment—there's a fine line between being vulnerable and accidentally making people question if they should hire you. (Oof, yep…we're going there.)

In this episode, I unpack what it really means to practice intentional vulnerability—aka how to share the messy without looking like a mess.

We talk about:

  • How to check yourself before sharing emotional stories (the "scar vs. wound" rule I live by)

  • Why oversharing chaos in real time might be costing you clients

  • The exact questions I ask before posting vulnerable content

  • How to share your life and build trust without sacrificing your credibility

  • What "professional" actually means in the age of real-time stories, twin toddlers, and unfiltered IG lives

I also share behind-the-scenes updates about:

  • My upcoming rebrand (!!) and why this launch feels extra personal

  • A full-circle moment after a rough season where I almost quit my business

  • What embracing chaos as a CEO and a twin mom looks like (laundry piles and client wins can coexist)

This is the episode to listen to if you're stuck wondering: "Am I showing my audience I'm human...or just overwhelmed?"
