Showing up as your full self isn’t always easy — in fact, it can feel downright terrifying. In this episode, Jamie Kienholz dives into what it truly means to be seen. She explores the fears we all carry around judgment and rejection, how hiding disconnects us from ourselves and others, and how authenticity — even just 5% more — can transform your life and business.
Jamie shares practical, gentle tools to help you step into visibility with compassion and courage. If you’ve been feeling the nudge to get more real, more honest, and more you… this is your sign.
You don’t need to be louder to be seen — you just need to be true.
In This Episode, Jamie Covers:
- Why showing up fully can feel vulnerable and terrifying
- How hiding affects your connection, confidence, and creativity
- The difference between “performing” and being authentic
- Jamie’s personal experience with pushing past the fear
- 3 gentle tools to help you show up just 5% more real this week

Jamie’s Gentle Tools to Start Showing Up Authentically:

• Practice online: Share something honest, not polished
• Reframe it: The right people can only connect with the real you — and the rest? They were never your people anyway
Call to Action:
This week, show up just 5% more real. Post something that feels honest, vulnerable, or unfiltered — and tag @jamiekienholz. Jamie would love to celebrate your courage and help build a community where we all get to be seen.
Let's make authenticity contagious.
