What’s scarier than failing? For many of us, it’s the thought of being seen trying. In this debut episode of Barefaced, we dive into a fear that many of us carry but rarely name out loud — the fear of being seen trying. Not just the fear of failure, but the fear of being visible in the messy middle, before we’re polished or perfect. Along the way, I talk about imposter syndrome, the sting of social rejection, the myth of effortless success, and the belief that we don’t deserve the things we want. This conversation is an invitation to let yourself be seen anyway — shaky, imperfect, and brave.
