Finally Seen
Finally Seen™ is a curiosity-fueled podcast for ambitious women who are ready to move to the next level, personally, professionally, and spiritually, but feel unseen, out of sync, or stuck playing small.
Hosted by Chrissy Bernal, Visibility Strategist and Brand Architect, this podcast blends bold conversations with real-life reinvention to help you show up fully and be recognized for who you truly are, not just what you do.
Here, we believe women are never just one thing. We honor the complexity of your story, and we celebrate your desire to grow. From business and branding to motherhood, mindset, and personal power, this is a space for women (ok, men, too heehee) who are done hiding and ready to lead.
Because when we share their stories, we create momentum for ourselves and for others.
Whether you're building a brand, launching a platform, or rebuilding your sense of self, you’ll walk away from each episode feeling seen, supported, and strategically aligned with your next-level vision.

The Identity Makeover Every Woman Needs Before She Can Soar with Dr. Angela Aja
What if the reason you feel stuck is because you are actually in the middle of becoming?
In this week’s episode of the Finally Seen™ podcast, we’re joined by leadership coach, bestselling author, and identity transformation expert Dr. Angela Aja for a conversation that will challenge how you see struggle, success, and self-reinvention.
Dr. Angela shares her powerful journey from ministry leadership to financial collapse and how losing everything forced her to finally meet herself. From that transformation, she developed her now-renowned framework, The Five Stages of the Rise of a Woman, inspired by the journey from caterpillar to butterfly.
We talk about why so many women skip the cocoon, how identity is formed and distorted, and what it actually takes to rise into purpose without burning out or playing small.
This conversation is for the woman who knows she was made for more but feels caught between who she was and who she is becoming.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why feeling stuck often means you are in a necessary season of transformation
- The five stages of the Rise of a Woman and how to identify where you are
- Why skipping the cocoon leads to burnout, striving, and imposter syndrome
- How to stop telling your story from the caterpillar and start telling it from the butterfly
- The difference between flying harder and learning how to soar
- Why your story is not about you, and why someone is waiting to hear it
If you have ever wondered whether your breakdown is actually your becoming, this episode will meet you right where you are.
