119. Owning the Discomfort of Your Visibility with Sascha Schlossberg - a podcast by Amber Hawley

Visibility can feel really uncomfortable. And I’d argue that the more you’re doing it right, the more uncomfortable you may feel. How so? Because that’s when you’re talking about the things that matter most to you and, likely, your potential clients.

No one said that being a business owner was easy, and if they did they were lying. You’re creating a stage for yourself when you start a podcast or a TikTok account, and the idea is to attract like-minded people to you and build a community. When you let them know how you feel about the things that matter to you, you become more human.

But that can also get pretty uncomfortable.

On today’s episode, I’m talking to Sascha Schlossberg about vulnerability, visibility, and the willingness to feel some discomfort around how you’re showing up online. We talk about soapbox rants, creating a vacuum, and the discomfort of no feedback and negative feedback. And Sascha gives you some tips on where to start putting yourself out there…so you can feel some (good) discomfort too!
