Are You Letting Other People’s Feelings Keep You Invisible?

By Gayle Nowak, Visibility Sage and Founder of The Story Stylist

The greatest discomfort by far, and the thing keeping many invisible in your business, is a fear that sharing your truth might hurt others.

Here’s the thing.

Inevitably, someone will not like what is true for you. So it can feel safer to silence and suppress your message, your “ask”, your work, and your own view of the world. We all do this to some level, and you may be tempted to respond to that fear with force.

One of the most common fears we experience as humans is being seen, and yet most entrepreneurs simultaneously long to be seen because we know in our core that we are here for a purpose. We deeply want to make a difference.

It actually makes sense when you realize that visibility fears often start in childhood, as a result of the times we were made to feel wrong, rejected or different. All of us have experienced this at some level; it’s simply part of being human.

What I’ve discovered over the last couple of years is that inner child work accelerates that healing, which has a direct impact on your business.

What you learned as a child – either from your family, schooling or media – you took on as truth. And even if it’s no longer or never was true, your inner child continues to carry it around and impact how you think, feel and behave. 

For example, not being seen and heard in childhood shows up as a fear or resistance to fully putting your work out into the world. In other words, being visible.

Worrying about your message, content, programs and prices ties back to worrying about what other people are going to think and feel about what is true for you. In other words, feeling vulnerable.

It may look a little messy at first. You may even cry. That’s actually a good thing because you are releasing emotions and energy you no longer need. Feelings of discomfort, sadness, anger, fear, grief are normal. Feeling nothing is normal. You may even feel joy, happiness and excitement in these sessions. 

•   What you see, hear, and feel during the session
•   What your inner child wants and needs at this time
•   How you would have wanted things to go differently
•   What, if any, incompletions do you feel you want to take action on now
•   What you acknowledge, accept, and even appreciate about the actual experience that comes through
•   How you and your inner child collaborated to re-create a more loving and positive experience

After the 21 days, journal about the impact of turning those negative experiences into positive experiences has had on your heart, your energy, your relationships, and your business.

Your inner child holds incredible wisdom for you and your big mission.
