Episode 97: Weight Loss, Wrinkles and Cameras: Why You Should Show Up Just as You Are!

This one’s from the heart. In today’s episode, I’m opening up about something deeply personal—something I know so many of us struggle with quietly: the fear of being seen.

Whether you’re waiting for the "right" moment to show up on camera, hesitating to post a photo, or feeling pressure to hide your age or body—this episode is for you. I’m speaking directly to the woman who feels like she’s not “there yet,” who’s been conditioned to wait until she’s “fixed” herself to be visible.

I talk about my own journey with body image, aging, and confidence—and the real moments when I’ve said, “Nope, not today,” even when I had something valuable to say. I’ll share what’s helped me hit record anyway, why the idea of perfection is keeping us small, and why your voice and face deserve to be seen now, not later.

✨ Topics I cover:

• Why so many of us wait to “feel ready” to be seen

• The impact of beauty standards and bounce-back culture

• Confidence on camera (and what that really means)

• Letting go of filters, fillers, and perfectionism

• Celebrating the fine lines and stories that live in our faces

• Why visibility matters for your brand—and your self-worth
