Let’s talk about visibility.

Let’s talk about visibility.

It’s something I speak about often in my Red Dress Energy work — being ready to be seen again, not needing to hide.

And yet hiding is so deeply hardwired into so many of us.

Not disappearing completely.

Just being visible enough.

Last night I went to the inaugural TEDx Richmond, held at Petersham Nurseries — one of my favourite places on the planet. I listened to ten extraordinary humans speak about harmony through their work, their thinking, their lived experience.

Every single one shifted something in me.

But alongside listening, I found myself thinking about the courage it takes to stand on a stage. To share something you care about, knowing that while many people are rooting for you, some will disagree — or dismiss — or quietly enjoy pulling your ideas apart.

Standing on a TEDx stage may not be on your vision board, but we face this same dilemma whenever we start something new, something scary. Whenever we become more visible.

So next time you’re faced with this feeling, why not approach it with curiosity.

Notice where you feel it in your body.

Ask it why it’s there.

Because I know this — we can all show up and do scary things. And yet there’s still a part of us that wants to hide a little. To stay safe. To stay quiet.

That part isn’t wrong. It’s protective.

So today I’m sitting with this question, and I invite you to do the same.

The one that always appears when we’re growing:

Who am I to?

Visibility isn’t a switch you flip.

It’s a relationship you renegotiate — again and again — as you evolve.

Sometimes the bravest thing isn’t stepping onto an actual stage.

It’s staying present with the edge you’re standing on.
