Your Network Isn't Your Net Worth. Your Relationships Are.

*🎙️Carrie On!* Your Network Isn't Your Net Worth. Your Relationships Are. This week on **Carrie On!**, I'm joined by fellow community builder, professional door-opener, and all-around fabulous connector **Jodi Hope Grinwald**, founder of Today is the Day LLC, host of the *Today is the Day Changemakers Podcast*, and author of *Today is the Day LIVE IT! — Edge of Comfort to Center of Impact*. And ladies, we're not talking about collecting LinkedIn connections or suffering through another awkward networking event with cold coffee and stale pastries. We're talking about REAL relationships that open doors, create opportunities, and sometimes completely change the trajectory of our lives. We get into the power of authentic relationships, why women need to stop competing and start collaborating, how to protect your network without closing doors, and why it's never too late to reinvent yourself. **Because we're over 40, not out of opportunities!** **In this episode, we talk about:** - The promise Jodi made to her father that changed everything. - Why authentic connection beats transactional networking every time. - How to become a professional door-opener without being taken advantage of. - Why women need to ditch the scarcity mindset. - Finding that ONE person who believes in you. - Moving from your comfort zone into your impact zone. - Why your story matters, even when you think nobody wants to hear it. - The importance of emotional safety and vulnerability in community. - Learning to slow down without feeling guilty. - Why the best time to take your next big leap is TODAY. **Connect with Jodi Hope Grinwald** Website: https://todayisthedayliveit.com/meet-jodi YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Todayisthedaychangemakers Podcast: Today is the Day Changemakers Book: *Today is the Day LIVE IT! — Edge of Comfort to Center of Impact* Coming Spring 2027: *Today is the Day.
