Shownotes
You can be brilliant at what you do, have the experience, the credentials, the ideas - and still find yourself shrinking when it's time to be visible. Not because you don't know how to show up, but because somewhere deep down, it feels unsafe.
That's where Gaelle's story hits home. She spent 13 years in financial services doing everything "right" on paper, but behind the scenes she was hiding her voice, her creativity, her freedom. It wasn't until she started listening to her intuition - and stopped waiting for permission - that she finally found the confidence to be seen and to help other women do the same.
This conversation isn't about perfect strategies or algorithms. It's about what really happens when you step out of hiding: the fear that rises up, the self-doubt that kicks in, the pull between intellect and intuition, and the freedom that comes when you stop performing and start showing up as yourself.
IN THIS EPISODE
- The moment Gaelle realised she'd spent years in financial services doing everything "right" on paper - but hiding her voice, her ideas, and her freedom in the process.
- How childhood conditioning shows up in adulthood, especially for women told not to take up space, and why visibility feels like danger instead of opportunity.
- The real reason intuition gets ignored when decisions get hard - and how Gaelle learned to trust hers even when it meant walking away from stability.
- Why women wait for permission to be visible, and the cost of letting fear and "what will people think" decide for you.
- The messy inner dialogue that comes up when you want to be seen: the second-guessing, the people-pleasing, the urge to shrink - and how to move through it instead of fighting it.
- How Gaelle balances intellect and intuition, strategy and feminine energy, so showing up feels natural instead of forced.
- The emotional weight of visibility online - why energy doesn't lie, and how people can feel the truth in your presence before you say a word.
- The playful, practical tools Gaelle leans on - from breathwork to tapping - to release fear stored in the body and create safety in visibility.
- The kind of freedom that finally shows up when you stop performing for approval, start validating yourself, and choose visibility on your own terms.
