18: Fuck Branding, Be You: Authenticity and Belonging at Work
Description
What if the secret to belonging at work isn’t “branding yourself,” but being yourself? In this solo episode, Marie Groover (The Corporate Psychic) challenges the corporate obsession with personal branding and shares why practicing authenticity—even when it’s uncomfortable—is the real path to influence, impact, and belonging.
Drawing from her time at Microsoft, Marie reflects on feedback she’s received (“check your facial expressions”) and why she’s chosen to say fuck branding in favor of full humanity, strong boundaries, and unapologetic presence. You’ll hear stories of what it looks like to take up space, speak your truth, and stop waiting for approval to live and lead as yourself.
