141 Making It Weird on Purpose: Creativity, Content & Confidence with Jillian Richardson
Manage episode 482881103 series 2430681
What happens when you stop trying to follow the rules, and start sharing your voice as it really is?
In this lively and inspiring conversation, I sit down with writer, ghostwriter, and community builder Jillian Richardson, whose viral “Make LinkedIn Weird” post reminded thousands that authenticity beats polish every time. We explore the beauty of getting a little weird on purpose, and how that choice can unlock creativity, clarity, and real connection in your business.
Jillian opens up about:
- Rewriting what it means to be “professional”
- Finding confidence in your creative voice (even when it feels cringy)
- Letting go of patterns that don’t serve you
- Using storytelling as a tool for visibility and self-trust
- Tapping into your natural rhythms (and trusting the slower seasons too)
If you’ve been waiting to feel ready, polished, or “clear enough” to share, this episode is your permission slip to start now, make it weird, and make it yours.
