I originally wanted Monika on the podcast to talk about personal branding, but the 90-minute deep dive conversation became much bigger than that.We went into Monika’s journey: moving from Poland to the US without speaking English, working as a poorly paid au pair, and stumbling into fitness because she needed an escape from her flatmate… eventually opening a gym, building a 6-figure online coaching business, and becoming a successful business coach.We also talked about:- growing up around post-communist money mindsets,- bodybuilding and competing,- immigration, independence and building a big life in the US,- not listening to family or social expectations,- and building a life on your own terms.We still covered personal branding in depth, especially how Monika uses content and social media to stand out online without needing to go viral.If you’re self-employed, coaching, building an audience, or trying to grow simply by showing up consistently as your authentic self, there’s a lot in this episode worth listening to.Connect with Monika: Website: https://www.monikaamazur.comInstagram (Personal): @monika_a_mazurInstagram (Podcast): @monika_a_mazur_podcast_LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/monikaamazur/
