Welcome back dear listeners, today we’re diving into a topic that so many of us wrestle with—visibility. The desire to be seen, to share our creative work with the world, and to make an impact… all while battling the fear of putting ourselves out there. If you’ve ever felt that tension, you are not alone.
My guest today, Shelby Leigh, knows this struggle intimately—not just as a bestselling author and mental health advocate, but as someone who has helped thousands of creatives navigate the often-intimidating world of marketing and visibility. Through her work as a marketing coach, she’s supported over 7,000 writers, artists, and entrepreneurs in finding ways to share their work with confidence—and even enjoy the process.
In this conversation, we talk about:
✨ Shelby’s own journey with visibility and self-trust
✨ How to market your creative work in a way that feels good (not cringey)
✨ The biggest mindset shifts that help authors and creatives show up authentically
✨ What Shelby is still learning and growing into when it comes to being seen
Whether you’re an author, a business owner, or simply someone who wants to trust yourself more as you step into your next chapter, this episode is for you.
Let’s get into it!
