Is It Too Cringey to Nominate Yourself? How Self-Nomination Can Boost Your Personal Brand
Feb 09, 2026 Episode 333

Awards, nominations, accolades, keep your business visible.

In this solo episode of Community, Kristina is shifting the way you think about self-promotion.

So many entrepreneurs struggle with the embarrassment or the fear to self promote but ‘closed mouths don’t get fed’ and Kristina is breaking down not just if you should self promote but why you should, and how it can transform your business.

Tune in to hear:

  • How modesty culture is holding you back from the visibility you deserve.
  • Why women especially feel resistance to self-nomination for awards, PR opportunities, and stages.
  • Why embarrassment is the cost of entry in entrepreneurship.
  • How self-nomination is actually a strategy, not a brag.
  • How to align award opportunities with your values and audience.
  • The secret to writing strong applications (hint: keep a brag folder!).
  • Why YOU might be the one who inspires others by going first.

Marketing isn’t just about Social Media content, it’s also about putting yourself out there to be seen and heard, even when it feels awkward.

This episode is about empowering you to take that step.

DM Kristina on Instagram and tell her what you’re finally going to nominate yourself for, we’d love to celebrate with you!
