Hosted by Kevin Young and J'aime Rothbard. Produced by J'aime Rothbard.

What if your resistance to self-marketing is actually a trauma block? This week, our very own Gifts of Trauma co-host Rosemary Davies-Janes shares her journey from corporate marketing exec to authenticity recovery coach to Magnetic Presence Marketing creator. Hosts Kevin and J'aime dive into how she helps heart-centered professionals heal their 'marketing trauma,' shed their masks and attract ideal, right-fit clients

Together they reflect on: - Why marketing blocks are almost always trauma blocks in disguise - How holding 7 different roles can make complete sense when you find your through-line - The role of Compassionate Inquiry® and why we need to do our inner work first - Why Gabor Maté's magnetic presence inspired an entirely new approach to marketing

In this intimate conversation, Rosemary also explains why helping people access their authenticity is her driving passion, what it means to be a multipotentialite, why living a mythic life requires courage and grit, and how she learned that a wild spirit and authentic love can go hand in hand.
