Welcome to episode 25 of the Branding With Jade podcast. This week I’ll be talking about the importance of being seen and heard. As humans this is of high value to us all, but sometimes we don’t realise just how much until we have an experience where we feel the exact opposite. This happened to me this week and what I learnt from it was something incredible and that’s why I felt called to share it in this week’s episode.

I really hope you get value out of this episode as I share a lot of vulnerable stuff. But right now with everything that’s going on, this is how I feel called to show up. And as scary as it is. If my voice helps even one person to feel brighter in this time then I will be truly happy that I took this risk and had the courage to show up.

Welcome to episode 25 of the Branding With Jade podcast. This week I'll be talking about the importance of being seen and heard. As humans this is of high value to us all, but sometimes we don't realise just how much until we have an experience where we feel the exact opposite. This happened to me this week and what I learnt from it was something incredible and that's why I felt called to share it in this week's episode.

In this episode I’ll be sharing:

  • Why humans need to be seen and heard
  • More background on my personal business journey over the last few years
  • Important takeaways from Lisa Messenger’s book – Risk & Resilience
  • An experience that happened to me this week that made me realise the value in people really seeing and hearing you
  • How you can embrace this moment to start being seen and heard

HERE’S WHERE YOU’LL FIND SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS:

>> [1:38] – the meaning of the number 25 and why it’s meaningful to what I’m talking about.

>> [5:11] – takeaways from Lisa Messenger’s book Risk & Resilience and her experience with a business on the brink of foreclosure. Why this inspired me to share some more of my story today.

>> [9:01] – why mental wellbeing and human connection is so important right now. How the playing field is levelling out while everyone is in isolation and we now have the space to grow.

>> [10:56] – why it’s good to be vulnerable and show up with courage right now.

>> [12:41] – all the mindset shifts I experienced when my affiliate business shut down and how that has impacted my business growth and money mindset in recent years.

>> [19:00] – why I started to resent my business and lost faith in one of my original mentors.

>> [22:05] – why I’ve felt awkward when it comes to selling. And how I wasted time trying to figure things out on my own.

>> [24:15] – why I feel somewhat grateful for this pandemic and the opportunities that are being presented. I’m choosing to see the silver lining. And I feel a collective shift going on in the way people are working through this experience.

>> [27:44] – the difference between not having time vs not having energy to do the things we want to do.

>> [30:50] – why now is the best time to make an investment in yourself and your business and why I decided to invest in a coach this week.

>> [35:58] – the experience that inspired this podcast episode and how I truly learnt the value of being seen and heard.

>> [40:22] – everybody needs to be seen and heard and feel like people respect and value us. You are special and your message is important and the world needs to see and hear from you.

>> [42:15] – why I’m choosing to feel good, be grateful, work on my mindset and continue to show up for my audience.

>> [44:02] – why it’s so important for you to share your voice right now as well.

>> [46:18] – why I feel I was meant to have this experience this week and how it relates back to the way I handled banking clients back in 2008 during the GFC. Sometimes what we think we want isn’t what we actually need and we just need someone to see and hear us fully.

>> [50:32] – what’s really important in this time is people and connection. People need to feel like they matter. Love wins. Put yourself in the shoes of your client and think about how you can make them feel seen and heard right now.

>> [53:45] – what the new Libra moon means for us all right now.

>> [54:29] – my new sense of purpose to really help people feel seen and heard right now. This is a deeper look at creating a powerful personal brand.
