    Stop Shrinking | The Truth About Visibility No Coach Will Tell You

    If you’ve tried every strategy, template, and swipe file, and still hear crickets…it’s not because you’re broken. The real problem isn’t strategy; it’s safety. Your body equates visibility with danger, and until you honor that, no tactic will work. In this unapologetically honest episode of The Femme Cast, I share my personal story of ghosting social media for two and a half years, spiraling through burnout, fear, and self-doubt, until I finally realized: visibility is a safety issue, not a strategy problem. We unpack the five core visibility fears; failure & success, scarcity, judgment, rejection, and speaking your truth, and explore where they come from, how they silently hold you back, and why honoring your emotions is the key to real impact. You’ll learn how to: 🎤 Regulate your nervous system before posting 🎤 Build confidence through gentle exposure 🎤 Protect your energy and set practical boundaries 🎤 Share your intuitive gifts publicly with self-trust 🎤 Turn triggers, trolls, and fear into fuel for growth This episode is for ambitious, soul-led women ready to step into their power, be seen, and create aligned income without shrinking, hiding, or over-performing.

    REAL Confidence with Simone Knego | From Self-Doubt to Unshakable Self-Trust

    Confidence doesn’t show up on command. It grows where you plant it. In this unapologetically real conversation on The Femme Cast, I sit down with keynote speaker, author, and podcast host Simone Knego to unpack the REAL method for building confidence that sticks: Respect yourself Embrace your failures Ask what you truly want Live without limits Simone’s journey, from CPA to mom of six, to climbing Kilimanjaro, to leading a life of impact, shows how small, brave choices reshape identity, deepen relationships, and make visibility feel natural, not performative. We dive into her Control-Alt-Delete mindset reset, a practical tool to stop negative thought loops, rewrite your inner script, and delete patterns that don’t serve you. This episode cuts through the noise of fake confidence. Pretending feels loud, restless, and exhausting. Real confidence is quiet: showing up without shape-shifting, allowing pauses, and celebrating both your wins and others’. We tackle the traps of social media comparison, the power of dropping “I’m just…,” and how sharing your hard stories turns shame into service. If you’re ready to stop shrinking, step into your power, and rewrite your inner dialogue, this conversation is your map. Simone also shares insights from her new book, Real Confidence: A Simple Guide to Go From Unsure to Unshakable, and her podcast Her Unshakable Confidence.

    The Good Girl Lie | Why Being Palatable Is Killing Your Visibility, Impact, and Income

    This episode is a no-BS dismantling of the “good girl” routine, and how it quietly keeps powerful, intuitive women stuck, unseen, and underpaid. I’m sharing the lived truth of how people-pleasing flattened my voice, drained the energy from my content, and kept my impact capped… until I finally said the thing I was afraid to say. We talk about why watered-down honesty creates invisibility, why your first troll is often a sign of real traction, and how resonance, not likes, neutrality, or playing nice, is what drives true visibility. If your content feels flat, your message feels muted, or you’re secretly afraid of being fully seen, this conversation will hit you right in the chest. Inside this episode of The Femme Cast, we explore emotional alchemy as a leadership tool, the difference between leading with essence vs. strategy, and why 2026 rewards clarity, truth-telling, and boundaries over “high-vibe” performance. I break down how discomfort becomes a compass, why hiding your edges is self-abandonment, and how letting yourself be felt is what actually moves people to trust, follow, and buy. This is for the unapologetic woman in the making. The coach, healer, or soul-led leader who knows she’s here to make an impact, but has been shrinking, over-performing, or waiting for permission. If you’re ready to stop hiding your power, speak with authority, and lead from lived truth instead of polish… press play. Support the show Ready for a massive visibility breakthrough?

    Gemma James on Turning Pain into Purpose | Why Sharing Your Story Heals You and Others

    In this raw, permission-giving conversation, I sit down with Gemma James, creator and host of the Muse Yourself podcast, to talk about grief, reinvention, and the quiet courage it takes to be seen when every instinct tells you to hide. After a catastrophic season that blew her life apart (loss, displacement, identity death) Gemma found an unexpected lifeline: a simple morning ritual of coffee and podcasts. One small, steady choice that helped her get out of bed every morning, and eventually inspired a platform that now does the same for thousands of women around the world. This episode is about emotional alchemy. It’s about turning pain into purpose, fear into visibility, and stories into impact. We unpack why so many brilliant, soul-led women stay silent, and the comparison, perfectionism, and old safety patterns that come from an unconscious fear of being fully seen. And why, in a world flooded with AI and polish, your unedited human voice matters more than ever. We talk micro-brave steps, why connection always beats perfection, and the real cost of staying small over time. You’ll hear how unfiltered storytelling builds trust, how listener messages become proof of impact, and why your story doesn’t need to be “big” to change a life. If you’re an unapologetic woman in the making, one who is ready to lead, create aligned income, and make an impact, but still feeling blocked around visibility, this conversation is your nudge. Because someone needs what you’re feeling called to say, just to get through the morning. Want to connect with Gemma?

    People Pleasers, Hidden Rage & the Rise of the Unapologetic Woman

    If you’re the “nice one”, the accommodating one, the woman who keeps the peace, over-delivers, swallows her truth, and tells herself it’s fine…this episode is for you.  Because beneath people pleasing isn’t calm. It’s suppressed rage. In this raw, unapologetic conversation, we dismantle the myth that people pleasers are chill and unbothered, and reveal the truth most coaches and healers won’t say out loud. People pleasing is often a trauma-based survival pattern where approval equals safety. And self-abandonment doesn’t make you kinder. It makes you resentful. We talk about how ignored boundaries quietly stack into anger, how resentment turns inward, why small moments trigger big reactions, and how rage isn’t something to heal away, but something to alchemize. This episode is a permission slip for ambitious, soul-led women who feel blocked in their visibility, voice, leadership, and income. Women who know they’re powerful but keep shrinking, over-performing, or hiding to stay “liked.” Inside, we explore: 🎤 Why anger is not a flaw, but a signal 🎤 How self-abandonment fuels burnout and invisibility 🎤 The people-pleasing-rage cycle no one names 🎤 Emotional alchemy as a leadership skill 🎤 Setting boundaries without apology or explanation 🎤 Letting go of relationships built on compliance 🎤 Choosing truth, impact, and aligned power over niceness This is about becoming an Unapologetic Woman. Grounded, expressed, and embodied. One that no longer trades her truth for approval. If you’re ready to stop suppressing, stop shrinking, and start leading from alignment, this one will hit.

    The Hidden Cost of Hiding Your Spiritual Gifts | Why Playing Small Holds You (and Everyone Else) Back

    What if staying “safe” is quietly costing you your joy, your purpose, your voice? In this episode of The Femme Cast, I pull back the curtain on the real cost of hiding your spiritual gifts, and why stepping into your truth isn’t just about you, it’s about the people who need your guidance, healing, and light. I share the messy journey of leaving the logical path behind to follow intuition, creativity, and soul-led work. From awkward moments to small nudges before sleep, we explore how emotional alchemy, trust, and brave visibility transform fear into impact. Your gifts aren’t just a personal calling. They’re a ripple in the collective. If you’ve ever found yourself feeling unseen, over-performing for approval, or shrinking your voice to stay safe, this episode is your invitation to stop hiding. Learn why starting small, trusting synchronicities, and embracing your unique modality matters more than perfection or audience size. I get unapologetically honest about the sacrifices, the doubts, and the infinite rewards that come from claiming your gifts and living unapologetically. This is for the woman who’s ready to move from fear to fulfillment, to embrace her power, and to finally show up in ways that make a difference. Emotional alchemy isn’t just a buzzword. It’s the bridge from hiding to being seen. Your next step? Lean into your voice, trust the unfolding, and know that the world is waiting for what only you can offer.  Support the show Ready for a massive visibility breakthrough?

    Coming Out of the Woo-Woo Closet | Visibility Wounds, Sharing Your Spiritual Gifts & Leading Before You Feel Ready

    This episode of The Femme Cast is a raw, unapologetic conversation about visibility, emotional alchemy, and the courage to be seen before you feel “ready.” I’m sharing the real story behind coming out of the spiritual closet. The premonitory dreams, the sudden activations, the religious guilt, the identity whiplash of leaving corporate logic for intuitive truth, and the messy middle no one glamorizes. If you’ve ever felt the pull to lead, speak, or serve… while secretly fearing judgment, exposure, or being seen as “too much” or “not healed enough,” this is for you. We talk about the five core visibility wounds, why over-performing for approval keeps you small, and how craving recognition while hiding your power is often a survival strategy, not a character flaw. I name the shadow most healers avoid: helping while healing, serving without credentials, and trusting that being ten steps ahead is enough. This isn’t spirituality as performance. It’s intuition grounded in discernment. Leadership rooted in lived experience. Impact without self-abandonment. You’ll hear how I learned to separate signal from noise, create energetic safety, speak to one right person instead of everyone, and reclaim a direct connection to Source without outsourcing authority to fear, dogma, or perfection. This episode is for the unapologetic woman who knows she’s here to make an impact, but has been shrinking her voice to stay safe. You’re not behind. You’re becoming visible to yourself first. And that’s where real transformation begins. Support the show Ready for a massive visibility breakthrough? Claim your spot in the Unapologetic Visibility Breakthrough.
