Here’s a collection of blog posts that sum up how I keep showing up visibly despite my fears of criticism, judgement, and unwanted attention 💕
When you search “Personal Branding Services”, you’re met with design agencies promising a polished visual representation of who you are, copywriters promising a specific tone on your website, and motivational speakers promising that when you know who you’re talking to, you can get out there in a big way and create a community.
I used to offer those same services, but found that my clients were already more than capable of that.

Find out how to make your very own ✨
Is the fear of being judged, annoying, or being vulnerable from being visible to people whose attention you need? Your boss, your prospects, your potential customers, or even your friends and family?
Stop promoting yourself from a place of obligation and use that super power of overthinking in the way it’s meant to be used: Empathizing.

Here I break down your relationship with feeling like a fake and what you can do about it.
My relationship with the unknown is very known by all who know me. My organization, talks on anxiety, habits of analysis paralysis, and my bucket list all indicate the unknown scares the daylights out of me. And here’s the biggest unknown yet.
The easiest way to find out if this article will apply to you is to go into the moment of your self-edit. When you’re about to post on social media and you decide to backspace and reword, what makes you do that? Go back to the last time you edited yourself before publishing.
