Wayne and Stacy tackle the challenge of invisibility in midlife, exploring how cultural conditioning and past experiences can lead us to silence our voices and minimize our presence.

  • Invisibility stems from being taught to "small up yourself" and prioritize others' voices over your own
  • The roots often trace back to childhood lessons about being "seen not heard" or gender expectations
  • Invisibility prevents healing and growth because "we cannot heal what we do not reveal"

The STEP OUT framework offers practical strategies for reclaiming visibility:
S - See yourself first
T - Tell your truth
E - Express clearly, don't assume
P - Practice boundaries
O - Own your presence
U - Undo the training
T - Take up space

  • Taking up space applies physically, vocally, emotionally, and in your digital footprint
  • Public speaking opportunities like Toastmasters can help develop confidence in being seen and heard

Reflect: "What part of me has been hiding?"
