✨ Episode Summary:
In this solo episode, Anna dives into four powerful and recurring questions that come up with her coaching clients — sensitive creatives, coaches, and entrepreneurs navigating the tender terrain of putting their work into the world. Whether you're launching a business, writing a book, or simply stepping into more visibility, this episode will resonate deeply if you've ever wondered:
- How much of my personal story should I share?
- Is it okay to talk about hard stuff in coaching sessions?
- Why can’t I make myself do the things I know I need to do?
- Why do I feel like crap after doing something brave?
Using a mind-body approach grounded in nervous system wisdom, Anna explores each question with nuance, compassion, and practical insight. You'll learn why emotional safety is essential for sharing vulnerably, how to listen to your body when deciding what to reveal, and why those “vulnerability hangovers” after being visible are not signs you're doing it wrong — but signs you’re on the right track.
🧠 What You'll Learn:
- How to tell when sharing your story is empowering vs. overwhelming
- Why grounded vulnerability connects more than oversharing
- The difference between coaching and therapy — and why deep topics are welcome in coaching
- What to do when you're stuck in inaction despite knowing the next steps
- Why shame, doubt, or even pain flare-ups after visibility are totally normal — and how to care for yourself through them
💬 Favorite Quote:
“When you’re out of connection with yourself, your audience won’t feel safe connecting with you either.”
