Why Being More Visible Feel So Scary And How to Shift It

✨ Can You Relate?

👀 You deeply want to be seen.
💬 You want to share your work.
🌍 You want to grow your impact.

But the moment you start stepping into the spotlight… 🎤

…Maybe it’s standing up to give your 30 second commercial at a networking event 🤝
…Going Live on social media, pitching yourself 📱
…Or saying yes to that podcast 🎧 — you notice something else…

❤️‍🔥 Your heart races and you go ‘blank’ on what to say,
😣 Your throat tightens and anxiety grips your voice.
🙈 You feel like hiding or overthink every word.

That’s not you being “too sensitive” or “not ready.”
⚡ That’s your nervous system responding to the perceived threat of being visible.

Because VISIBILITY creates VULNERABILITY. (Read that again 👆)

Because for many of us, visibility doesn’t just mean marketing — it subconsciously means:
❌ Risk of rejection
🤯 Threat of Imposter Syndrome (and being ‘found out’ or called out)
👀 Fear of judgment or criticism
💔 Memories of being misunderstood, silenced, or shamed

🧠 The body remembers what the mind may try to override.

So when we talk about stepping into greater visibility, we also have to talk about SAFETY 🛡️

🌱 Creating inner safety as you grow externally.
🌀 Regulating your nervous system as you increase your reach.
💪 Building a felt sense of “I’m okay to be seen” — even when it’s uncomfortable.

The truth is: visibility isn’t just a strategy.
✨ It’s a transformative healing journey.

And the more you understand what’s happening inside, the more empowered you’ll feel to keep showing up — with courage 💖, clarity 🔎, and compassion 🌸 for yourself.
