Self-promotion gives most people the ick. And honestly? We get it.

In this episode, Brooke and Jenné get into the real reasons why talking about yourself and your business feels so uncomfortable, like the fear of rejection, the fear of being exposed as an imposter, and the deeply conditioned belief (especially for women) that taking up space is rude. They share their own experiences, the mindset shifts that actually help, and practical ways to show up and promote yourself without feeling like a used car salesman.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why self-promotion feels gross
• What staying quiet is actually costing your business
• The difference between selling at people vs. showing up in service
• Why confidence is a dial, not a switch (and how to work it like a muscle!)
• How to use curiosity, humor, and storytelling to make self-promotion feel natural
• The worthiness piece: what's really underneath all of it
