About this listen

In this episode, I'm getting real about something that has been bothering me for a long time—networking. You know… the business-card-swapping, pitch-heavy, smile-through-your-teeth kind of networking that so many of us have been told we "have to" do to grow a business.

Here's the truth: it doesn't feel authentic to me.
It feels forced. Transactional. And honestly? A little exhausting.

So today, I'm talking about:

  • Why traditional networking feels so fake and performative

  • The pressure to "work the room" vs. actually connect with people

  • What I've learned after starting over in a brand new city

  • How social media made it worse (and sometimes better)

  • Why building genuine relationships is the only way I want to grow my business

  • How I'm using my own community—North Texas Boss Lady Besties—to connect in a real, supportive way

  • And what networking could look like if we stopped trying so hard to sell and started showing up as actual humans

This episode isn't polished. It's honest. It's a conversation for anyone who has walked into a networking event and thought, "There has GOT to be a better way."

If you're craving real friendships, real community, and real connections in business—this one's for you.
