Shyness doesn’t mean you’re not cut out for visibility — it just means you may need a different approach to speaking up and showing up for your business.

How do you overcome social anxiety and shyness as an entrepreneur or creative?

In a world of constant connection and talking head videos, it can feel really overwhelming!

This episode is for you if you’ve ever felt uncomfortable showing up online, on a stage or just sharing your face and voice with strangers.

It’s for the introverts, the shy people and even camera-shy extroverts!

Best-selling author and shyness expert, Nadia Finer joins me to truly understand how the fear of judgement, public speaking anxiety and putting yourself out there can create major blocks for us when it comes to visibility.

This isn’t how to speak confidently or how to get rid of shyness, it’s how to embrace who you are while making small doable steps to share your voice in wider circles.

We talk about her own journey with shyness and how she’s struggled with making phone calls to speaking on stage in front of hundreds.

The lesson here is NOT that you need to “force yourself to do better,” it’s more... how to be kind to yourself as you discover your own path to public speaking or showing up.

In this visibility podcast episode:

Why shyness is about the fear of being judged
How public speaking anxiety can show up surprisingly
Why forcing yourself to “just get over it” fails
How to speak confidently with tiny steps
Making visibility work for you…not them.

Listen for…

inspiration and to raise your voice with less fear, more confidence and a whole lot of compassion.
