Welcome to episode 16 of the Confidently Visible podcast!

If you've ever felt like visibility is only for the loud, the extroverted, or the always “on” entrepreneurs, this conversation will feel like a breath of fresh air.

I'm joined by introvert mentor, energy coach, and business strategist Katherine Mackenzie-Smith, who supports introverted, highly sensitive, and neurodivergent entrepreneurs to grow aligned businesses without burning out or pretending to be someone they’re not.

Together we explore what visibility really means for quiet, powerful women, and how to embrace your natural energy in a way that feels safe, empowering, and deeply authentic. Katherine shares her personal visibility journey and offers soul-soothing, practical advice for any introvert who’s ready to be seen in her own way.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• The truth about what visibility really looks like for introverts
• How to reframe visibility from something draining to something empowering
• A powerful story about navigating visibility when it felt most uncomfortable
• Practical, low-pressure ways to build a personal brand that feels like you
• How energetic alignment impacts your content, marketing, and sustainability
• Common mistakes introverts make when showing up - and how to course-correct
• The importance of safe, supportive community when stepping into visibility
• A beautifully simple visibility tip for getting started without feeling exposed

Welcome to episode 13 of the Confidently Visible Podcast! In this episode, I’m inviting you to hit pause and take a moment to truly reflect on how far you’ve come.

As women building purpose-driven businesses, we often focus so much on what’s next that we forget to celebrate the wins we’ve already achieved. But reflection isn’t just a feel-good moment — it’s a crucial mindset strategy that keeps you motivated, connected to your vision, and open to the lessons the universe is gifting you.

I’m sharing personal stories from my own journey (including a visibility fear I really had to move through), mindset shifts that have helped me grow, and powerful journaling prompts to help you own your success.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why celebrating progress keeps you grounded and motivated
• How reflecting on your journey fuels your vision for the future
• Why growth is rarely linear—and what to do when it feels messy
• The surprising gifts hidden inside visibility resistance
• What being confidently visible really means (spoiler: it’s not about being fearless)
• Journaling prompts to reconnect with your strength, growth, and wins
