Nancy’s Do The Thing Retreat On Cape Cod:⁠ **apply here.**⁠

Human connection has never been more important, Podsters and in this week’s episode we discuss the magic that happens when you let people see you for who you really are. On stage, in a meeting, with a client and even (or especially) at home. Vulnerability is the key to success in all areas of our lives, yet, we are often times afraid to be ourselves.

All our lives we’ve been taught to fit in, to conform. Think about it – we start with a clean slate, a happy baby. Then we get to school and realize that the more we mold ourselves to other people’s expectations, the easier it is to be accepted. Then high school, remember the cliques? There’s a reason they’re called mean girls. Then for some of us, college. Sororities, clubs, more teachers, and trying to figure out where we fit in.

Fitting in and being where you belong are very different.

What if, instead of trying to fit in, we use that time and energy to find our people?

Our fear of judgment hold us back. Adjusting to what we know will be accepted, rather than who we know we are. You will always be judged. This is a fact of life. And once you accept that you will be judged no matter what you do, you can enjoy the freedom to do what you are meant to do and be who you are meant to be.

When you are vulnerable at work you can hone in on exactly what you want to do. When you are real and relatable, you will find the team, the career or business where you can leverage who you are, rather than try to fit the mold. You will see the holes in your business, the gap between what you’re doing and what you WANT to be doing, and this is where the magic happens!

When you are vulnerable at home you get to build the relationships which honor the true you. You can be unfiltered, real and find the people who will love you at your best, and still love you at your worst.

Maybe you have to learn this skill - or maybe you’re already there.

Either way, this episode will reveal a few things you can do to take that chance, do the thing and live your truth!
