Not all networking experiences are created equal—some can be downright awful. In this episode, I share my personal journey with networking, including the challenges I faced early on, how I overcame imposter syndrome, and the steps I took to build a genuine, supportive business network.

Key Takeaways:

✅ Not all networking groups are the right fit—it’s okay to walk away from the wrong ones.
✅ Bad experiences don’t define your future success—you can recover and find your people.
✅ Start by showing up—even if you feel like an outsider, the right community will welcome you.
✅ Networking isn’t just about business—it’s about relationships that help you grow.
