In this episode of Shame-less Stories, I am joined by the vibrant and inspiring Elisabeth Carley-Leonard, accidental influencer, founder of Vibes and Visibility social media agency, and a powerhouse advocate for living life unapologetically.
Elisabeth shares her incredible journey of transformation, from being elbow deep in the UK music scene - running her own venue and securing major grants - to realising that the life she had built was no longer bringing her joy. In a raw and courageous move, she left her marriage, her business, her home, and started over in London with just £100 to her name.
We dive deep into:
- The hidden shame of changing your mind after building a life others expect of you
- The power of recognising when your values shift, and allowing yourself to change too
- Why social media should be fun, not forced, and how Elisabeth helps clients rediscover their true voice online
- How ADHD, personal development, and ditching perfectionism have helped Elisabeth thrive
- Why showing your real, unpolished self is the ultimate magnet for authentic connections
- How redefining professionalism can unleash your best business success yet
Elisabeth’s honesty about shame, burnout, people-pleasing, and personal reinvention will resonate with anyone who's ever felt trapped by "shoulds."
