This week’s hypnocoaching session is with a woman who knows her voice matters… and yet freezes when it’s time to be seen or heard publicly.

She’s articulate, intuitive, and deeply connected to her work. One-on-one, she communicates with ease. But the moment the spotlight turns toward her, speaking to a group, being on camera, putting herself out there, her body reacts as if something dangerous is about to happen, and it doesn’t make sense to her.

And that’s exactly where the real work begins.

As we talk, it becomes clear this isn’t about confidence, preparation, or skill. It’s about a much earlier moment, one so early she’s never consciously connected it to her fear of speaking. 

This episode is a powerful example of how fears around visibility, speaking, and being seen often don’t come from what we think they do… and how much can shift when we stop trying to push through fear and instead listen to it.

• How very early experiences can shape your relationship with visibility and being heard
