For many, sharing your own very personal and private experiences can feel super vulnerable and confronting. Or maybe you don’t feel as though you are “perfect” yet, so how could you possibly offer value or experience to others? Yet as I remind you time and time again, it’s your personal story and experience that your ideal client will resonate and connect with. It’s your story that will make people choose you over the many other health practitioners out there. But how do you actually turn your personal story and experiences into a profitable business?
I invited Samantha Skelly to join me to share her own journey of healing from disordered eating and lack of self-love and how she evolved from sharing her story with friends and eventually turning it into an international business (she thought she was going to be a real estate agent!)
We talk about how to know what to share and what to keep for yourself as well as the difference between using vulnerability as a tactic vs. being natural and authentic.
Sam has some amazing stories and advice to share, no matter what your niche or business is. If you are still finding it challenging to connect with your ideal clients, this will be a MUST listen. And you’ll be surprised (or maybe not) to find out what percentage of clients in her Hungry for Happiness program are health professionals just like you!
