ep 004 - Might as well make it a movie.

In this episode I talk about how questioning your worth, voice, and safety in visibility isn’t something you arrived at alone; it’s shaped by culture, caretakers, education, media, oppression, and capitalism, so we need context to give ourselves the right care. I share that decolonizing visibility isn’t a destination but a threshold: if being seen in your leadership still feels unsafe, it may signal you haven’t found the right ground for your self-concept. I invite you to audit your relationship with yourself—worthiness, perfection, forgiveness, repair, growth, responsibility—and to break “fear of visibility” into specific stories and memories to contextualize and heal. I also name disappointment and longing to be seen as possible roots, and I encourage daily self-tending as collective, generational work. We left the stars for this — so you might as well make your life a movie.

We do this specific work in Sovereign Storyteller — a 5-month cohort to decolonize voice & visibility for paradigm-shifting creators & founders.
