This conference attracts thoughtful, values-driven creatives: artists, designers, writers, therapists, and independent professionals who want to share their work more confidently without betraying their integrity, their nervous system, or their sense of self. It’s a space that values substance over performance and depth over hype.
My Session: Getting Comfortable Being Seen: Tools for Creative Introverts
In my 90-minute workshop, I’ll be exploring why visibility can feel so threatening for creative introverts—and how to work with that discomfort rather than trying to override it.
For many creatives, visibility doesn’t just trigger nerves or self-doubt. It activates deeper patterns: imposter syndrome, fear of exposure, old attachment wounds, perfectionism, and the internal pressure to “get it right” before showing up at all. Traditional advice often misses this entirely, pushing people to perform confidence instead of helping them build internal safety.
This session offers a different approach.
We’ll look at:
Why putting yourself out there can feel dysregulating—even when you’re highly competent
How imposter syndrome actually functions as a protective strategy, not a personal flaw
What happens in the body and nervous system when creatives are asked to be visible
Practical tools for regulating self-doubt in real time (before, during, and after visibility moments)
How to develop language for sharing your work that feels grounded, honest, and sustainable
The workshop blends psychological insight, reflection, and practical application. Participants won’t be asked to perform or overshare. Instead, the focus is on helping creatives leave with clarity, self-trust, and tools they can immediately apply in professional settings—whether that’s speaking about their work, marketing a service, pitching an idea, or simply allowing themselves to be seen.
Who This Is For
This session is especially well-suited for:
Creative introverts who feel skilled but unseen
Professionals who want visibility without burnout or self-erasure
Artists and helpers who struggle with imposter syndrome despite years of experience
Anyone tired of being told to “just be more confident”
If you’ve ever felt caught between wanting your work to matter and wanting to stay safe, this conversation is for you.
