What if you approached your own life with the same strategy and intention as a major global exec or a brand launching a major campaign? In this conversation, Julie will sit down with reputation strategist and communications advisor Kate Haranis to explore how the principles of PR can be powerful tools for personal transformation.
Kate will share why narrative matters not just in business, but in how we show up for ourselves. Together, they'll unpack how to identify the old scripts holding you back, reframe your story with clarity and compassion, and activate the kind of visibility that feels authentic, not performative.
Whether you're in a career pivot, navigating burnout, or simply craving more alignment, this episode will help you get intentional about the story you’re telling to yourself and those around you. Because it IS possible to be intentional and still stay true to yourself.
At the end of the episode, we make reference to Byron Katie’s “The Work”. Here is a link to her four powerful questions that help you to get curious about the stories you tell yourself.
