Ep 16: Why Being seen is so uncomfortable
Why does talking about your work feel so uncomfortable, even when you know you’re good at what you do? In this episode of the Good Girl Rebellion Podcast, Anna is joined by copywriter and messaging strategist Abi Sea to explore why visibility can feel tangled up with arrogance, showing off and the fear of what other people might think. Together they discuss good girl conditioning, why being liked can feel safer than being seen, and how to talk about your work without turning yourself into someone you don’t want to be. Abi also shares practical ways to make visibility feel easier, including her Hollywood Sign exercise, finding your bare-minimum visibility and focusing on the people who actually need to hear from you.

Knowing what to do isn't the same as doing it.
