Are You Still Hiding in Plain Sight? How to Feel Safe Being Seen

What if the version of you that’s been “playing it safe” was never hiding at all—she was simply protecting the parts of you that didn’t yet feel safe to be seen? 

In this deeply personal solo episode, host Christina Sommers opens up about her recent realization that she’s been hiding in plain sight—softening her message, dimming her truth, and realizing that visibility without safety still isn’t freedom. 

Christina shares the story of The Woman at the Top of the Stairs from her chapter in Ignite Your Courage, a moment that marked the beginning of her own rebirth from surviving to thriving. She reflects on what happens when we finally stop diluting who we are, remember the woman who chose courage, and allow our nervous systems to experience real safety in being seen.

• Why we dilute our truth after toxic or emotionally abusive relationships
• How nervous-system safety and visibility are connected

“Hiding in plain sight is still hiding—it’s your nervous system’s quiet way of saying, ‘I want to be seen, but I don’t yet feel safe being seen.’” 

“The Woman at the Top of the Stairs never left—she just waited for me to remember.”
