Scared to Be Seen? Here’s How to Ease Into Visibility
Mercury Retrograde is here. It's the perfect time to rework your message and how you’re showing up.
Hey love,
If you’ve been feeling resistance to posting, sharing, or just being seen in your business… you’re not alone.
Honestly? One of the biggest roadblocks I work on with clients (even the most confident ones) is fear of visibility.
Not because they don’t know what to say… but because deep down, they’re afraid of being judged, misunderstood, or just… ignored.
Visibility fear is real. Especially when your business is personal, your work is sacred, and your content is a reflection of you.
And right now?
With Mercury Retrograde kicking off, the timing couldn’t be better to pause and ask:
How am I showing up?
Does my content reflect who I really am?
Is it time to shift how I’m communicating and connecting?
Retrograde isn’t a curse, it’s an invitation.
To slow down, rethink, and realign your message so it actually feels like you.
This week’s Messenger is here to help you do just that.
