• Ep 93: My 10-Month Unraveling into Visibility—How Clarity Emerges Through Action

  This week marks ten months since I pivoted How to Trust Yourself from its original focus on chronic pain to the deeper work that had been calling me all along: nervous-system-safe visibility.In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what that transition has really been like—the messy, nonlinear, beautifully human process of finding clarity through action.I share how I started speaking my new direction into being before I felt “ready,” what it’s taught me about fear as a heat map to intuition, and why visibility isn’t something you master once—it’s something you practice, gently and consistently, as you grow.You’ll hear:How intuition leads the way before the mind understands itWhy clarity lives inside fear, not beyond itMy 2021 story of hitting record for the first time (and shaking through it)How dialoguing with fear through journaling became the core of my methodThe breadcrumb trail that led me to realize this podcast has always been about visibilityAnd finally, I share the offer that grew directly from this season of unraveling: Your Story, Out Loud — a two-session coaching intensive for sensitive creatives, coaches, and entrepreneurs who are ready to find their voice and share it safely, gently, and powerfully.✨ Learn more at www.annaholtzman.com/yourstoryThank you for walking this path with me—through the pivots, the fear, and the evolution.This next chapter of How to Trust Yourself is about what happens when we trust ourselves enough to be seen.
