17. Self-Reliance with Maha Abouelenein, CEO, Digital and Savvy

from Humans & Brands · host Lauren The Seeker

In this special episode of Humans & Brands, Lauren Douglass sits down with long-term friend Shannon Pruitt, Global Chief Marketing Officer at Stagwell, and powerhouse communicator, author, and Founder & CEO of Digital and Savvy, Maha Abouelenein, to unpack one of the most transformational mindset shifts we can make: self-reliance. Maha shares the inspiration behind her book, The Seven Rules of Self-Reliance, and how these principles can help anyone stop waiting for permission and start building the life they want. From building your personal brand to ditching the “waiter” mindset (think: stop waiting, start doing), Maha shares how to invest in yourself and take control of your future. The three women also unpack the challenges of speaking up as a woman, navigating imposter syndrome, and getting out of your own way to actually move forward. Whether you’ve ever felt stuck, unseen, or like you’re just waiting for your next opportunity, this episode is your invitation to stop waiting and start doing.
