Honestly, I’ve struggled with staying authentic on LinkedIn—it can be tough not to fall into the trap of overly polished posts. Recently, though, I decided to focus more on my own voice and real experiences, even if they’re imperfect. I’m learning that being myself resonates more and helps me build genuine connections. It’s a work in progress, but it feels a lot more true to who I am! 🌱
