Not all cringe is bad.
That was the main point of my Cringe-Free workshop this week.
We talked about the cringe you feel when you make yourself visible.

There are two kinds.

😬 Cringe #1: the protective one.
It shows up when you PRETEND.
When you perform. Or swing the other way and OVERSHARE.
That cringe is saving you from becoming the most obnoxious version of your personal brand.
Befriend it. LISTEN to it.

🫣 Cringe #2: the brave one.
It shows up when you're vulnerable.
When you share your true self, your opinions, your messy middle. When you become relatable.
That's the cool cringe.
Befriend it. Then ignore it.

The problem is both feel exactly the same.

So most of us end up doing… nothing. Because it ALL feels cringe.

But you can tell them apart.

I even built a matrix for it. A cringe-meter, if you will. 😅
