Audre Lorde and Putting Makeup On in the Dark
Years ago, Audre Lorde wrote: “We fear the visibility without which we cannot truly live.”
She was right about visibility in so many ways, and especially when it comes to making your dreams a reality. You need visibility to thrive and to create success. Yet being seen in the world can sometimes be scary or overwhelming.
It certainly was for me.
Two years ago, I presented at a conference to over 200 women. It was my job to inspire the women to a place where they could love themselves deeply to reveal their soul and spirit to themselves and the world. The problem was that I wasn’t loving myself that day. Post-baby, I looked exhausted because I was nursing. I couldn’t get my hair to do anything I wanted. I didn’t fit in any of my clothes. The morning of the event, I wanted so much to hide from the world that I put makeup on in the dark and avoided the mirror at all costs.
Fortunately, I managed to inspire and deeply transform the women that day, but the truth is that I almost didn’t make it on stage! I almost backed out at the last minute because I didn’t want a single person to see me. Sadly, the fear of being seen – whether it’s because you don’t like the way that you look or you’re scared of being rejected or you don’t have enough confidence in your message – rears its head often for many soul-centered visionaries out there. The result is often self-sabotage, or hiding out or quitting … or simply feeling tortured with each marketing or PR step you take.
I don’t want you to miss out on the visibility you want any longer.
To help you learn how to create visibility for yourself and your Soul-Centered project, I’m going to teach you what I’ve learned about visibility since that conference 2 years ago.
At BE SEEN, we’ll be together in–person for a powerful and groundbreaking afternoon. You’ll receive:
- a sacred women’s circle and ritual to help you overcome your visibility fears
- my favorite method for getting crystal clear on your message
- lessons on creating effective marketing copy that will get your message out in the world in BIG ways
- a last opportunity to learn with me in person before I leave NYC!
Part content-rich business workshop, part internal excavation & transformation, this totally unique event is not to be missed!

We’re already 50% full, and it’s so important that you be there. I don’t want you to go another month or year hiding out from the world and keeping your message a secret.
Wishing you wild success and joy,
Joanna
p.s. I’ve overcome so many of my struggles with visibility … AND as I evolve, sometimes new visibility fears come up. The latest has been a huge block to creating videos of myself & a message to share with others. In honor of BE SEEN, I blew that fear out of the water and created a video just for you.
