Let’s talk about...showing up and being seen

Welcome to UN/DO - the podcast where we rethink work, rest, and play. Hosted by Dulcie and Yemisi, this season is all about unlearning the rules we’ve been handed and doing life on our terms. If you’re done shrinking, settling, or running on fumes…you’re in the right place.

In this final episode of Season 2, we’re talking about something that sounds simple, until it’s you: visibility. Whether it’s speaking up, sharing your work, or letting yourself be known, showing up can feel terrifying. Especially if you’ve been taught that being visible means being judged, reduced, or misunderstood.

But you don’t have to be fearless to be seen. You just have to be honest. And today, we’re digging into what it really means to show up, not when you’re perfect, but now.

In this episode:

• Why we shrink ourselves and what it costs us

• The myths we’ve been sold about confidence and readiness

• The Spotlight Effect and why people aren’t watching you as closely as you think

• What Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s story teaches us about visibility and fear

• Our signature UN/DO practice - one thing to unlearn, one thing to do differently

Books mentioned:

• Presence by Amy Cuddy

• Feck Perfuction by James Victore

• Brave, Not Perfect by Reshma Saujani
