Why Not?

#197 When Visibility Feels Like Vulnerability


Listen Later

Ever feel like visibility should be exciting—but instead it makes you want to run?
In this episode, I’m diving into what it really feels like to be seen—and why it can trigger so much discomfort, even when it’s what we want.

I talk about the subtle ways we keep ourselves small, how fear of attention can sabotage our growth, and the mindset shifts that helped me stop flinching when the spotlight hit.

Whether you're showing up online, taking on new opportunities, or just trying to stop hiding—you’re not alone.

In this episode:
– Why visibility feels scary (even when you asked for it)
– The quiet ways we hide our progress
– How taking up space builds real self-trust
– What’s helped me stop ghosting my goals
– A challenge for anyone ready to stop playing small
