Ep247 – Overcoming Your Fear of Visibility and Stepping into Your Calling

Visibility is a word that tends to stir up big feelings—sometimes excitement, but often fear and resistance. I know firsthand how intimidating it can feel to put yourself out there, to be seen, and to let others witness your work and your story. But I also believe visibility is the doorway to deeper impact, aligned opportunities, and powerful connection. In this episode, I want to explore what visibility really means and why it matters so much on your personal and professional journey.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing the insights that came out of a recent retreat I hosted, where visibility was one of the most transformative topics we explored. I dive into the real reasons we struggle to show up, the hidden fears behind that resistance, and the perspective shift that changed everything for me and the women in that room. If visibility has ever felt heavy, scary, or confusing, I created this episode with you in mind.

I invite you to join me today as I discuss:

• Why it’s completely natural to feel resistance around being seen
• The surprising truth that many of us fear success more than failure
• The reflection questions I guide my clients through to clarify their vision
• The mindset shift that reframes visibility as service—not self-promotion
• How your unique voice, story, and delivery reach people in a way no one else can

More than anything, I want you to remember this: you were not called to hide. Your voice, your experiences, and the stories you carry were meant to help someone else—and visibility is how you deliver that impact. As you listen, I hope you feel encouraged to take one brave step forward and show up just a little more boldly today. If this episode speaks to you, please share it with a friend who needs the reminder, leave a review, or send me a message—I love hearing what resonates. Your story matters, and the world is waiting for you to share it.
