🌱 4 Ways to Build Your Network (Without Selling Your Soul)

💗 Lead with generosity, not desperation
Show up. Celebrate others. Give freely—with zero strings.

🌿 Be in rooms that reflect your values

💬 Follow up like a real human
DMs > spammy newsletters. Keep it personal.

✋ Say no (or not right now) with grace
Boundaries build sustainability—and mutual respect.
