#19 Vulnerability Equals Strength

Today, I interview  Caterina Rando who looks back to her childhood in a noisy, overly lively household and not having the courage to speak up in the face of it. She also struggled with feeling a little bit held back due to being a plus-sized female her whole life. Interestingly, she enjoyed public speaking because she had been given permission to speak; her real fear crept in when she was among people with opportunities to chime in with casual conversation. _________________________________ Caterina is a business mentor, sales trainer, and creator of the Expand Your Fempire App and host of the Expand Your Fempire Podcast.
