In this powerful episode of the Be Who You Came To Be podcast, Tara Renze sits down with the magnetic and refreshingly real Giselle Ugarte—renowned online performance coach, speaker, and unapologetic advocate for authenticity on social media. Together, they unravel the complex relationship we have with digital platforms, diving deep into how fear, comparison, and outdated narratives prevent us from showing up as our truest selves online.

She approaches marketing from the lens of personal development, humanizing the ways we show up in business, online and especially off, with time and energy setting tactics, captivating communication techniques and tangible boundary-setting tools.
