If you’ve ever wondered why it feels so hard to show up online (especially on Instagram), this episode will speak straight to your heart. I dive deep into the real reason why many women hesitate to post, show up, or share boldly: the fear of being seen by people they actually know. We are talking about when family and friends don’t like your posts.

LISTEN NOW

I unpack how past experiences of being misunderstood, criticised, or judged (even as far back as childhood) can still influence how we show up online today. You will also hear how this fear often shows up as hesitation, self-censorship, and shrinking your message… even when you know you’re meant for more.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why your fear of being seen isn’t about Instagram – it’s about acceptance and safety
• How your past (even childhood) experiences might be shaping your visibility habits today
• Why friends and family often don’t engage with your content and why that’s okay
• The difference between real support and ideal clients
• How the Social Method Society helps you grow both internally and externally

Whether you’re posting Reels, writing captions, or planning your next launch, this episode will help you unlock the confidence to be seen, to be misunderstood, and still move forward with courage.

Until next week, stay happy in your hustle.
