Why Sensitivity Is a Strength: Nervous System Tools for Fear, Visibility, and Creative Freedom with Anna Holzman


Listen Later

Margo is joined by Anna Holzman, a therapist-turned-coach who helps sensitive creatives and entrepreneurs move through the fear of visibility and launch the work that feels most true to them. After 15 years in TV and publishing—and many false starts on her own creative dreams—burnout and chronic pain led Anna to discover nervous system tools that helped her unblock her voice and show up for the work she loves. Now she helps others melt through imposter syndrome, bring their creative visions to life, and share them boldly. She also hosts the podcast How to Trust Yourself.

Margo and Anna discuss:

  • What’s happening in your nervous system when you want to launch something but feel stuck

  • How to dialogue with fear instead of fighting it

  • Why squashing fear often backfires

  • The importance of social support and safety when showing up visibly

  • Why sensitive voices are needed in today’s noisy world

  • The perniciousness of comparison among creatives

  • Graded exposure therapy

  • Imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and creative blocks

  • Understanding customer's perspectives
