Sometimes it\u2019s because we move to different places, an intentional shift in career, severe medical conditions, a loss in the family, or sometimes knowing that we\u2019ve changed. Or, maybe we\u2019ve just started to figure out who we really are. Today\u2019s guest is my friend, Marie Wold. She is an influencer for eight years and has been through everything from having an anonymous Instagram account, winning bikini competitions, getting over 100K subscribers on YouTube, and now coaching people who are scaling to six figures.  In this episode, we\u2019ll get into Marie\u2019s younger years, why she started an anonymous Instagram account, the mistake of attaching your self-worth to social status, and growing around continuous feedback. After realizing she was only doing things only because it was expected of her and that it made the people around her happy, a switch flipped inside her. Marie also shares her experiences of finding her identity beyond the validation of others, loving being able to help other people, and removing herself from her past success in order to create one that has true purpose.   Find Marie Wold on Instagram @marieewold Connect with Amanda on Instagram @amandabucci   IMPORTANT MOMENTS: [04:59] Going into social media as an anonymous person.
