APPLE PODCAST | SPOTIFY | ALL OTHER PLATFORMS

In this special episode, I’m joined by my friend and fellow career coach, Julianna Yao Yorgan, host of The Daring to Succeed Podcast. Together, we’re diving into a topic that often feels overwhelming but doesn’t have to be—networking.

If the word “networking” makes you cringe or feels like something you should do but secretly avoid, this conversation is for you. 

We’re here to flip the script and show you that networking isn’t about forced small talk, self-promotion, or working a crowded room. It’s about authentic, heart-centered connections that support your personal and professional growth.

Insights From Today’s Episode

+ What networking really is and the common myths that might be holding you back 
+ Why meaningful connections matter — beyond just landing a job
+ How to approach networking with confidence, curiosity, and authenticity 

You’ll hear real-life stories, simple strategies, and practical tips to help you build natural and fulfilling relationships—whether you’re introverted, extroverted, or somewhere in between.

So, grab your favorite beverage, take a deep breath, and reimagine networking in a way that feels genuine, empowering, and aligned with your heart.
