224: Social Media Personal Development with Marie Wold

We all go through different stages in our lives. Sometimes it's because we move to different places, an intentional shift in career, severe medical conditions, a loss in the family, or sometimes knowing that we've changed. Or, maybe we've just started to figure out who we really are. Today's guest is my friend, Marie Wold. She is an influencer for eight years and has been through everything from having an anonymous Instagram account, winning bikini competitions, getting over 100K subscribers on YouTube, and now coaching people who are scaling to six figures. In this episode, we'll get into Marie's younger years, why she started an anonymous Instagram account, the mistake of attaching your self-worth to social status, and growing around continuous feedback. After realizing she was only doing things only because it was expected of her and that it made the people around her happy, a switch flipped inside her. Marie also shares her experiences of finding her identity beyond the validation of others, loving being able to help other people, and removing herself from her past success in order to create one that has true purpose.
