What do you say when someone asks, “So… what do you do?”

If that question has ever made you freeze, over-explain, or shrink yourself, this conversation is for you.

In this episode of Karmic Mirror, Michelle and Ally explore the idea of the elevator pitch — not as a scripted sales tool, but as a confidence-building practice rooted in authenticity, clarity, and self-trust.

Together, they unpack why traditional elevator pitches often feel constricting (especially for multi-passionate people), how preparation actually creates freedom, and why learning to articulate what you do can quietly transform how you show up in rooms, conversations, and opportunities.

This episode is especially for:

• multi-hyphenates and soulpreneurs
• creatives, coaches, and wellness practitioners
• people navigating career transitions
• anyone who struggles to talk about their work without feeling boxed in

What to Look Forward to:

• Why the question “What do you do?” can feel unexpectedly loaded
• How elevator pitches became associated with scripts — and how to reclaim them
• The difference between a formulaic pitch and an authentic one
• Why preparation builds confidence (and actually allows you to improvise)
• The role of belief, integrity, and lived experience in sounding “natural”
• What people most often get stuck on when crafting their pitch
• How elevator pitches apply beyond business — including parenting, career gaps, and identity shifts
• Ally's new Elevator Pitch workshop that supports soulpreneurs in articulating what they do with clarity, confidence, and language that actually feels like them.
