As fellow Pisces with Virgo risings, we dive deep into the intersection of spirituality, authenticity, and using fame as a force for good in the world.

In this special episode of How to Be Famous with Whitney Uland, I'm pulling back the curtain on what actually happens when you commit to becoming famous. I'm joined by three incredible women from my recent Mastermind cohort—Kayla Jury, Megan Norris, and Margaret Lefton—for an honest conversation about their transformations over the past six months. This isn't your typical "success story" episode. We dive deep into the messy, vulnerable, and ultimately life-changing process of stepping into celebrity energy. From nervous breakdowns during introductions to signing six-figure clients, these women share the real behind-the-scenes journey of building authentic fame. Key Topics Discussed: How creating a "safe space to be seen" completely transforms the mastermind experience compared to traditional business coaching The powerful exercise of introducing yourself as your highest self in present tense—and why it made everyone cry Why the Mastermind feels more like "theater camp" than business coaching, using acting exercises to build comfort with being witnessed The WTF framework: celebrating Wins, Trolls, and Flops to normalize the inevitable challenges of visibility How identity shifts create lasting results versus quick-fix strategies that fade The difference between compensatory authentic behaviors and soul-feeding expression Why proximity to other people's breakthroughs accelerates your own transformation How learning to be vulnerable in a group setting translates directly to confidence on camera The strategy vs. energetics balance and why both are essential for sustainable fame Transformation Highlights: Kayla: From hiding behind "professional nerd" identity to becoming an author with major corporate partnerships like Nike, building a YouTube channel, and finding certainty in her gifts Megan: Breaking through a follower plateau, tripling her membership, signing her first six-figure client, and embracing her desire to be a "divorce influencer" Margaret: Going from terrified of being on camera to confidently creating skits, starting a podcast, and bringing all parts of herself to her work This episode offers a rare look into what high-level personal development actually looks like—messy, triggering, and ultimately the most rewarding work you can do for yourself and your impact. 🔗 Connect with the guests: Kayla Jury: @itskaylajury on Instagram, follow her book writing journey on her YouTube channel  Megan Norris: @megannoriscoaching on Instagram, “So Good It Doesn’t Make Sense” podcast Margaret Lefton: @margaretlefton on Instagram, "The Multihyphenate Podcast"  📲 Find me on Instagram: @whitneyuland 🎤 TikTok: @whitneyuland ✨ If you enjoyed this episode, please leav...

In this raw and vulnerable episode of How to Be Famous with Whitney Uland, I'm coming to you from my bed after spending almost 24 hours recovering from what I can only describe as a complete breakdown.
