3. Overcoming Visibility Fears & Feeling Safe to Shine as Daughters of Immigrants
Description
In this episode, I unpack the deeper layers behind visibility blocks for daughters of immigrants and creative entrepreneurs.
Spoiler alert: It’s not just about confidence and "just doing it." It’s also about survival, cultural nuance, and nervous system regulation.
Drawing from my own story and the patterns I see among the daughters of immigrants I've supported, I explore why showing up online, sending that email, launching that offer, raising your rates, or sharing your creative work can feel so vulnerable—and what it actually takes to feel safe being seen.
We’ll explore:
- Why visibility is about safety, not just confidence or “just doing it”
- How cultural conditioning, like nunchi in Korean culture, wires us to track others’ comfort instead of honoring our own voice
- What your fear of being “too much” is really trying to protect
- How to honor your cultural and ancestral values without staying small
- Somatic strategies for growing your visibility in ways that feel resourced, not forced
