How to Show Up for Your Network After Major Life Transitions w/Leslie Levito
Have you ever been through a life transition such as a divorce, bankruptcy, or done a complete 180 with your career?
After these life shifts happen, some people find it easier to just disappear for a while instead of continuing to show up for their network or audience.
I know because I was one of those people.
Early on in my career I worked at a trash company for 8 years. I guess you can say I was a trashy lady?
During my time there, I got engaged, I became the president of a prominent non-profit, and I got my MBA.
As my 8 years came to a close, I had broken off my engagement, my term as president came to an end, and I decided to finally ditch my corporate gig to…
Drive for Uber and Lyft 🙃 (← I’ll save this story for another time).
Instead of showing up for the beautiful network I built for myself throughout those 8 years, I decided it was easier to disappear for a while. Why?
I was afraid to face what people may have thought about me.
I was embarrassed about sharing the downfall of my engagement + trying to justify why I had just spent $120K on a private education to collect 5 Star reviews.
I had it that who I was, was composed of all the things I had achieved and not achieved in life.
Have you ever been through something similar and struggled with this same mindset?
If so, you’re going to LOVE episode 2 of the Allergic to Small Podcast where I interviewed one of my best friend's and now business partner, Leslie Levito.
She is an expert in re-inventing oneself, business and brand strategy, and making dumplings by hand 🥟.
Leslie talks about 3 takeaways that she picked up through not 1, not 2, but 3 major life transitions, and how she decided to show up 3 times harder.
She shares these powerful insights on life:
“When your WHY is big enough you’ll do anything”.
People are standing for your greatness and they want to contribute to you.
People know who you are sometimes more deeply than you know yourself.
As she walks us through how she discovered these takeaways I couldn’t help myself from thinking:
“I really wish I had listened to this episode when I was going through my life transitions because I HID from my network”.
I hope you enjoy this episode and find it just as powerful as I did.
Here’s to showing up no matter what! 🥂
Your former trashy lady,
