Your mission isn't to be your audience's Internet BFF. That relatability is costing you premium revenue and draining your authority. True leadership requires creating thought leadership, embodying aspiration, and projecting certainty.
In this episode, I expose the costly relatability trap and reveal the complete structural and messaging shift I used to stop attracting price shoppers and start commanding instant "yeses" from high-ticket clients.
This conversation is your invitation to stop being a peer and start being the premium guide your audience needs.
In this episode:
- Why the common "know, like, and trust" advice creates a revenue ceiling, and how prioritizing empathy over certainty kills your ability to command premium prices.
- The difference between horizontal (Relatable) and vertical (Aspirational) energy, and why high-ticket buyers pay for the standard of the container, not your time or your friendship.
- The societal pressure that disproportionately demands women leaders be "relatable," and how to use unapologetic, unrelatable success as your ultimate client filter.
- Actionable content and messaging shifts: How to stop trauma dumping and commiserating, and start leading with expertise, results, and a movement that sells itself.
- The ultimate payoff of the Unrelatable Identity: attracting higher-intent buyers, making your content must-see, and building a brand that scales without your daily labor.
