Being visible is essential to owning our inner authority.
The picture below is a past version of me, who I now affectionately call “Hidey”. Despite my being a generally outgoing person, starting both of my businesses uncovered visibility blocks or fears around being seen that took me by surprise. I was in my comfort zone putting systems in place, planning, running numbers, etc. but when it came time to lead, teach, speak and coach (the actual services my businesses provide) I felt incredibly vulnerable.

We call this a “new level devil”, when stepping more fully into who we are meant to be feels, at first, like the first day of junior high. Thankfully, my coaches and mentors helped me shake Hidey out of the bushes. If you had told me 5 years ago that I would love doing live videos on Facebook I would never have believed it...but now I am having so much fun!
Yes, it is true that being visible means that my mistakes and failures can be seen and I may be criticized in ways I can’t control. I have come to accept this risk because real and human and visible is the very way of being that allows me to authentically connect with and genuinely help my students, clients, and friends.
Ultimately, we have so much more to gain than lose when we step out to be seen. The truth is that our inner critic is often much louder than anyone outside of us and being visible allows others to support us, learn from us, celebrate us, and connect with us in all the beautifully imperfect, messy, human ways that really matter.

I was on the road yesterday, and shared a story with a friend about the challenges I faced the first winter after my divorce... 

I was in my house in the country adapting to living alone and the winter brought record-breaking, relentless ice, snow and below zero temperatures. I was snowed in several times and at one point, the power went out for 10 days. Late in the winter, exhausted and ready to give up and move to town, I ran my truck off my driveway and into a ditch. Because I lacked the physical, mental and emotional resources to solve that problem in that moment, I walked into the house and vividly remember thinking...I’m going to take a nap and wait for something delightful and unexpected to happen...and truly believing that it would. About an hour later, I awoke to the sound of a tractor as my neighbor was pulling my truck to higher ground. I was beyond delighted by this unexpected act of kindness and because if it, I did not give up and I’m loving life in my country home today. 

I’m not at all suggesting that we stick our head in the sand and wait for magical unicorns to solve our problems. At the end of the day it is making conscious choices and taking action that moves us forward.🌈 

But...what I learned on this day, and countless times since, is that our thoughts do shape our reality and that more is always possible than what we can know in any moment. Our mindset matters.

When left to its own devices, our minds will often focus on fear and play out the worst case scenario again and again. Why not redirect the awesome power of our imaginations toward what we actually want to experience and manifest in our lives?🔥 ​
