    Aligning Inner Values With Outward Expression w/ Brigitte Bojkowszky on The Thirsty Professional

    What if the biggest barrier to your brand’s success isn’t strategy… but your mindset? I had the pleasure to be a guest on Beth Anne Campbell's The Thirsty Professional LIVE  for a raw conversation on branding, visibility, and the limiting beliefs that keep high-achieving women stuck in silence. We talk about my nonlinear journey—from flight attendant to student to corporate to professor to entrepreneur—and how that transformation led me to help others align their inner truth with their outward brand identity. Because branding isn't just what people see; it's how you show up.
