Episode 32 – Jacquie K Wants You To Own Your Magic & Embrace Your Imperfections

Is it too much to ask that every customer also has a personal connection to the brand? Jacquie doesn’t think so, and I dare you to listen to this episode and then second guess whether she’s going to take over the entire world…

This is an all-time favourite episode because it speaks right to the heart of anyone with a big dream and a go-getter attitude. I have pulled so much inspiration from Jacquie K’s perspective on everything from personal branding, to comparison, to continuing to seek out education long after you become an “expert,” and owning your imperfections in a way that pushes you forward instead of holding you back.

If I could describe her in one single emoji, it would be a lighting bolt. It is a true gift that her insight can be shared in this format, and it brings me peace knowing you will be truly empowered after listening.
