If I'm being honest, showing up online is something I still have to talk myself into sometimes, and I do this for a living!

This month on Thinking About is all about confidence, and this week we’re talking about the confidence to be online. So many of the people I talk to are carrying around the same fears about being online, and most of the time, they're holding themselves to a standard they'd never hold anyone else to.

So we're busting some myths, walking through what helps me (and the clients I've worked with), and hopefully leaving you feeling like maybe — just maybe — you do have what it takes to show up online. (I believe you do!)


In this episode, I'm talking about:

  • Why showing up online feels unnatural for pretty much everyone
  • Three myths that are keeping you from showing up
  • Why editing, practice, and time are the actual secret
  • Lowering the bar, finding an accountability buddy, recording on your best days, and treating content like a creative experiment
  • The "one person" trick
