Episode 3: “Your Brand Can’t Hold Your Baggage”
Being honest about your story is powerful. But turning your trauma into a marketing plan? That’s something else entirely.
In this episode, we talk about the difference between integrated vulnerability and unprocessed oversharing—and how Ted Lasso gives us the perfect metaphor through characters like Jamie, Ted, and Dr. Sharon Fieldstone. We’ll also explore my own experience with public overexposure and the unexpected healing that came through a Season 1 interview with Eunice Brownlee.
This isn’t about shutting down your truth. It’s about knowing when your story is medicine—and when it’s still a wound.
