Lessons about cringe and discomfort from a chat with a friend

Have you ever felt like there's a bit of a blockage between what you're doing now and where you want to be in marketing your business? Are you watching other people show up for their brands and their marketing in ways that just seem beyond what you feel naturally comfortable in doing and you don't even think the content they're producing is that good but they seem to be doing well...? Well today's episode is for you! 

I was having a chat with my friend who works in fundraising for a Charity and our converstation inspired today's episode. Join me as I talk through and encourage us all to lean a bit further into our discomfort and what feels 'cringe' and why that's a great move for your branding, marketing and business in general.

I would love to hear your thoughts on what has helped you overcome the cringe and what you're planning to do to grow your personal discomfort in your business
