This one's for everyone who's ever felt like they had to choose between being authentic and being professional.
Jean Evans is a Networking Architect, but this conversation isn't about collecting business cards or LinkedIn strategies. It's about something much more essential: how authentic connection becomes life resourcing, especially for women rebuilding their worlds.
After being made redundant while breastfeeding one child with two toddlers around her feet, Jean discovered that learning to network wasn't just about business—it was about discovering who she was as a human being.
We dive deep into the wounds that keep us isolated—the fear of being seen as needy, the toxic self-reliance, imposter syndrome, perfectionism.
This conversation challenges everything we think we know about networking, success and the dangerous myth that we can, or should, do it all alone.
Key Themes:
Networking as a learnable skill
Vulnerability as permission
Transactional networking or life resourcing?
What's costing you connections & opportunities
The mentality that leads to burnout, everytime
The courage equation
Your TRUE credentials
If this episode reminded you that none of us are supposed to do life alone, we'd love if you'd share it with someone who needs to hear that message.
