If you're a woman growing an online business, brace yourself—at some point, someone’s gonna slap the "narcissist" label on you. But is that really a bad thing?

In this episode, we unpack the overuse (and misuse) of the word "narcissist" in today's culture and why a healthy dose of self-focus is actually necessary for success. We’re also examining this from a spiritual lens—what if extreme humility is actually a destructive force? If you truly want to serve others and make an impact, people have to know you exist. So, how TF are you going to do that if you don’t allow yourself to show up and be seen?

Get ready for a total perspective shift, boo!
