There’s a sacred tenderness to the moments we shrink, not because we lack strategy, but because visibility stirs old wounds we never fully processed.

In this raw and revealing episode, Jessica shares the emotional and energetic roots of why showing up online can feel unsafe for so many soul-led entrepreneurs. From early shame to perfectionism, overgiving, and freeze patterns, this is a permission slip to name what’s true beneath the surface.

If visibility has ever felt like a threat instead of a platform…
If you’ve found yourself muting your truth to feel safe…
If you've longed to express your voice without fear of rejection…
This episode is for you.

Inside this episode:

  • The childhood moment that planted shame around being seen
  • How perfectionism and people-pleasing are trauma responses, not traits
  • The nervous system dynamics behind visibility fear (and why it's not mindset)
  • Signs you're in a freeze/fawn response when creating content
  • What it means to resource your visibility from truth, not pressure

This isn’t a visibility pep talk. It’s a somatic unraveling of the very real reasons your body contracts when it’s time to be seen, and a soft invitation back into emotional safety, authentic self-expression, and embodied leadership.

Sacred Moments & Searchable Topics:

[00:03:10] Childhood shame and the roots of visibility trauma
[00:12:45] How overgiving hides our fear of being seen
[00:23:20] Perfectionism, people-pleasing, and nervous system freeze
