Want to get featured in the media but feel held back by fear, imposter syndrome, or the anxiety of being seen? In this episode of Small Business PR, I share the 3 powerful PR mindset shifts every small business owner needs to confidently show up, pitch their story, and land media coverage—without second-guessing themselves.

Whether you're a founder, solopreneur, or creative struggling with visibility fears, this episode will help you break free from the limiting beliefs keeping your brand in the shadows. Learn how to turn fear into fuel, use your story as a visibility asset, and pitch with purpose—no fancy PR background required.


How to Overcome the Fear of Visibility and Get Free Media Coverage for Your Small Business

  • The 3 mindset shifts that helps you stop playing small and start pitching with purpose
  • Why visibility is non-negotiable for building trust and scaling your impact
  • The metaphor that will change how you see your role in your industry
  • Why PR isn’t just visibility—it’s your mission in action
  • How consistent, small actions can lead to massive media wins over time


You don’t need to be famous, polished, or have a PR team to start landing media coverage. By shifting your mindset around visibility and embracing your founder story, you can confidently pitch the media and secure press features that grow your brand. Your voice is the missing puzzle piece in your industry—and PR for small businesses starts with owning that. Visibility isn’t about perfection; it’s about showing up with purpose, using storytelling to build trust, and taking consistent action.
