Back in January, I went to a podcast conference and met a woman named Christina Vidovich.

We clicked immediately and started plotting dreamy collaborations.

I was rolling solo, so the "new conference friend" vibes were welcome.

Christina is the founder of Women Getting Visible, and as we started talking about our work, we realized there was a LOT of overlap between what she teaches about visibility and what I teach about messaging, marketing and sales.

It could have ended there, but we stayed in touch. I met her business partner Amy (another inspiring creator), we swapped podcast interviews and kept brainstorming.

Then things started to shift.

We kept saying, "Yes, let's do that!", to new ideas.

In June, I flew to Minneapolis and spoke at their Women Getting Visible event, which connected me to a whole new network of women entrepreneurs.

Next, on September 16th, Christina will join me in Brooklyn for my next live messaging workshop (at my loft!).

Then in October, I’ll be speaking at their flagship Women Getting Visible conference in Washington, D.C.

And in January, we’ll both be back at Podfest in Orlando where we met, but this time sharing the stage for a panel conversation about visibility. 🤯

None of that existed 9 months ago.

And THAT is exactly why I wanted to share today’s podcast episode with you.

Because visibility isn’t just about posting more content.

It’s about letting people know who you are.

Getting into rooms where you find your people and starting conversations.

It's learning to talk about your work in a way that feels grounded and aligned.

And it's allowing yourself to be seen long enough for the right people to recognize what you bring to the table.

One of my favorite things Christina says in our conversation is:

Own your genius. Trust yourself. And tell people about it.

Simple.

And also, like everyone else - I occasionally find this terrifying and need to practice. 😂

In our convo, we talk about:

• why so many incredibly capable women still struggle with being seen
• how clarity in your message makes visibility much easier
• what to do when you’re afraid of judgment or rejection, and
• how to start building confidence through small acts of visibility

If you're doing great work and wondering why more people aren't finding you...

This one is especially for you.

And maybe give yourself one visibility assignment this week:

Put yourself in one room you haven't been in before.

There are so many free networking communities you could pop into and just meet new people!

You genuinely have no idea where one conversation might lead.

xo,
Deborah

PSS. I've started to book spots for the Magnetic Messaging workshop on Sept. 16th in Brooklyn and there are only 10, so please give me shout if you're curious or know you want to come. This is an intimate space, and a 3 hour high-touch workshop for dialing in sales messaging. (Yes, there will be nourishing food to sustain us!) This is perfect for women leaders who want to polish their message to pitch yourself for 2027 events, crystalize your sales messaging for a fall launch, or level up your online sales strategy. (or all 3!)
