Are you afraid of owning who you are, unapologetically? Is there something in your past that’s keeping you from stepping into your power? If this resonates with you, then you are not alone. Our today’s guest is author and lifestyle entrepreneur Ashley Hannawacker, maybe the best-looking person to ever come to this show, but she is much more than a pretty face and she’s here to show us why. Ashley Hann is here to help you be yourself, stop telling yourself bullshit lies and invest in your foundation.
Ashley Hann is the author of Magnetic Confidence, a lifestyle entrepreneur and a personal branding expert. She suffered some serious trauma during her early years that kept her from embracing herself and expressing her true craft. She hid behind a brand for years but struggled to reflect her personal brand out to the world. This unclear message got people thinking of Ashley as a fitness coach (even her close friends!), and it wasn’t until Gary Vee stepped in to work his magic on her that she grabbed the courage to become a personal brand and make sure everybody knows what she’s all about.
In this episode, we’ll take a close look at being a digital nomad, living the freedom lifestyle and working with a laptop from anywhere around the world. We’ll also deep dive into why by being your true self, you will become polarizing and how to design your business around your life. Tune in and learn why it’s time to get super clear on your vision and your values and stop people-pleasing if you want to take charge of your life.
