In this post, I invite us to explore defining visibility for ourselves and not simply throwing ourselves into the public eye aimlessly. I encourage us to define for ourselves a “custom visibility” that can help us get what we actually want and not simply what would be nice to have.
I share my own personal experience with “unclenching” to visibility and why I am so welcoming now of others seeing my joy.
Dive into this episode and the 5 lessons I’ve learned about visibility.
But at any rate, we need you to shine. Cause nobody does it quite like you. And the light is already in you.

Turning Toward the Light
In this episode, I share my experience creating reels, putting myself “out there,” and a couple of thoughts on visibility and our “magnetizing” essence.
We also do a “character study” on helianthus annuus, or sunflowers, examining what all they have to teach us about turning toward the light, chasing the sun, and finding our place. This episode and this study were truly a joy and I’m excited to share it with you.
I hope that as a result of listening, you turn toward the sun so you can see your own light.

The Transformation Generation and the Pitfalls of Being Realistic
In this most interesting episode, I find my way in real time to a new way of delivering my message and sharing my perspective.
While on a trail walk, I share my thoughts about how being “realistic” and other constricting beliefs protect us from the things we want (and can be), how we are the generation to “change the system,” and how we were set up to be trapped in the exact way that we are.
It’s a dynamic episode that opens the door to being more human and more spontaneous. It’s been a long time coming.
You know what? Put your walking shoes on and take me on your own walk! Get out that house or that car!
See you out on the trail!
