“Get to know yourself and how you want to show up, then do it.” - Disha Solanki
Brittany and Disha share the small shifts that create big ripple effects: listening before pitching, showing up without a mask, and knowing where you feel in or out of alignment.
This isn’t a how-to on networking. It’s a conversation on being human first.
In this heartfelt episode, co-hosts Brittany Anderson and Disha Solanki reflect on their own story of connection, what started in a virtual mastermind breakout room has grown into a friendship, collaboration, and now a movement. They pull back the curtain on what it really takes to build authentic relationships in a world filled with bots, cold DMs, and surface-level networking. Listen in to hear about navigating awkward in-person events to why protecting your energy matters.

Beyond the conversation, The TrailblazeHers is redefining success for ambitious women, not as a numbers game but as a people-first pursuit. It’s not about building the biggest network, it’s about creating the realest one.
This episode isn’t about chasing connections. It’s about creating them intentionally, honestly, and without performance. Because authentic leadership doesn’t start with a pitch, it starts with a pause, a presence, and a willingness to see and be seen.
