How much of your day do you spend performing? Proving yourself. Demonstrating your worth. Showing everyone that you're capable, that you belong. If you're ambitious and driven, the answer is probably, too much. In this episode, I'm sharing a story that changed how I show up in business and in life and exploring why presence creates far more impact than performance ever could. When you're performing, you're focused on managing impressions and proving yourself but when you're present, you're fully engaged, fully authentic and fully there. People feel the difference. I talk through what presence really means, why we get stuck in performance mode and how your style plays a crucial role in helping you shift from doing to being. In this episode, you'll discover: The exhausting cycle of performance and why it never ends How presence creates deeper connection and lasting impact The role your wardrobe plays in helping you be present instead of performing A simple Three-Second Pause practice you can use before any important moment If you're tired of feeling "on" all the time and ready to show up with calm, grounded confidence, this episode is for you.
