Welcome back to another episode of the One Girl Travel Podcast—I'm your host, Alessia Tenebruso, and today we’re diving into a topic that’s been coming up a lot lately: what it really means to show up. Not just on social media, but in your life.

We're talking about the fear that comes with being seen—whether you're starting something new, putting yourself out there online, or simply choosing to live more authentically. I’m sharing parts of my own journey—from the nerves I had when I first launched One Girl Travel, to the ways perfectionism used to keep me completely stuck.

We'll talk about the common fears that hold so many of us back—like worrying what people will think, feeling like you’re not “expert enough,” burnout, and that voice in your head saying who do you think you are? (Yeah, that one.)

But you know I’m all about solutions and support—so I’ll be walking you through how to shift your mindset from performance to personal expression, how to give yourself grace when things aren’t perfect, and how setting boundaries and just starting (even if it’s messy!) is sometimes the most powerful thing you can do.

Plus, I’ll touch on how solo travel helped me build the confidence to show up in all areas of my life—and how I now help my clients bring their own brand visions to life, with support every step of the way.

If you’ve been holding back, waiting for the perfect time to launch that blog, podcast, or idea that’s been tugging at your heart... consider this your sign. You don’t need permission. You just need to start.

You’ve got this—and I’m right here with you.
