    The Genius You Abandoned

    Episode Description: Ever wonder why you have imposter syndrome even though you're incredibly talented? Why sales feel impossible and your clients aren't getting the results you know are possible? Why you're working harder than ever but feeling less fulfilled with every interaction? In this episode, I'm calling you out on the most devastating thing you've done to your business—and to yourself. You abandoned what actually made you magical and replaced it with what you thought would make you more impressive. I break down the difference between true expansion and self-abandonment, why creating from your skill sets instead of your spirit is keeping you broke, and how to identify the genius you've buried under layers of what you think makes you "more valuable." Plus, I share the insane transformation of a client who went from making less than $50k as a generalist hairstylist to making millions as a luxury specialist working with A-list celebrities—all by coming home to her zone of genius. This episode will piss you off and wake you up at the same time. If you've built something you no longer recognize yourself in, something that doesn't light you up anymore, this one's for you. Key Topics: The genius you abandoned for "more sophisticated" strategiesWhy imposter syndrome is actually about being an imposterCreating from your spirit vs. your skill setsThe difference between expansion and contortionHow to identify your zone of genius when you've forgotten what it is
