Struggling to attract clients online with your hippie heart? Here’s how to move beyond visibility blocks and show up authentically on video so they get hooked on you and your offer.
So many women online seem to make visibility look so easy, right?
“She’s such a natural on camera!”
“She always seems to know exactly what I need to hear.”
“Her videos are so good - she must have a great team helping her do that!”
“I can’t help but want what she offers … She’s my go-to when I’m stuck!”
“She’s so relaxed yet on it … I wish I could present with her calm confidence.”
So why does it feel so hard to show up, get valuable audience engagement, and enjoy the process?
I’ll let you in on something important
The ones you see who find it easy to show up on camera are in only the 3%.
The rest who shine are in a slightly larger minority who have done the work to get there.
So, those who step into that even a tiny bit are already much more likely to be discovered and trusted by buyers than most who continue to struggle to show up at all.
Anyone CAN do it. It doesn’t take a special kind of person. Even those who feel least likely to “have what it takes”, can shift into who you need to be for it to feel natural, and be compelling.
Every step towards engaging and authentic visibility is going to reward you.
People expect to see video. They look for it to gauge if you’re a good fit for them.
Video carries the weight online when it comes to creating an affinity with your audience.
But there are a lot of aspects to showing up, and they each play a vital role in enabling you to be compelling enough to buy from.
By exploring and developing these key aspects you can show up with self-compassion and tenacity, peel away layers that get in your way, and reveal layers that support you in attracting clients.
There’s:
Layers of personal stories, beliefs, and emotional blocks, which create resistance, and can be explored, reframed, developed, dissolved and moved beyond to create emotional freedom.
A deeper clearer sense of purpose to refine that rapidly connects you with your audience’s desire to learn and transform.
Storytelling frameworks that create an instant sense of connection, possibility and urgency within people, without having to resort to hollow manipulative tactics.
Technical aspects of working with software, cameras, lighting, and sound that influence how you are perceived.
Body language, vocal, and energetic presence to develop.
and more.
The challenge is to find a way to show up and communicate wholly that is genuinely YOURS - in your own words, showing up as your true self, and communicating in a way that feels authentically aligned with what you care about, how you want to make a difference, and why it matters to your potential client. It needs to resonate quickly and deeply.
It takes time to find your voice, the right words, and a confident visibility strategy required to attract clients.
“How do I know if I have a visibility block?”
Visibility blocks can reveal themselves in unexpected places.
They might show up as a hesitation to step into the spotlight, to share your story authentically, or to showcase your unique offerings.
You might find yourself holding back, unsure of how to present yourself in a way that feels true to who you are.
You may be stuck on refining your niche, afraid to get too specific, or you may feel skeptical that this is a valuable approach to take.
You may have tried and felt crushed by a lack of engagement and resisted diving back in, wondering what’s not working, or feeling personally lacking.
You may be posting on social media but making offers that aren’t selling well enough.
You may be relying on hopeful marketing methods that don’t put you in front of enough people to reach your income goals.
The process of getting all these pieces connected IS just that - a process … nobody simply walks into this stuff fully equipped … and it can be easy to fall into the trap of trying to fit all of the pieces into a workable format that someone else has validated. What they’ve done though is validated it for who THEY are, and what THEIR purpose is, and who THEIR audience is, and you can’t fully replicate that.
The way forward is found in embracing what’s best for YOU, your purpose, and your audience. That’s unique by definition!
When you can connect with this bigger energy, you can stop taking your challenges personally, and step into a shared life force that helps you feel more energised, safe, clear, bold, outspoken, and aligned.
Something IS happening at a deeper level globally that’s making all of this much easier.
There’s a change that’s been brewing since around 2013. That’s when I noticed aligned communities of women coming together to amplify their capacity, energy, and visibility, to do good things.
Women in business are leading their own groundswell—a new movement towards creating the life they want and the world they want to live in and leave for their children … rejecting the status quo, reemerging with their gifts of connection, integrity, peace, and purpose … and finding the courage and capacity to let it their inner brilliance out into the world, online, with renewed vivid energy.
Whether you realise it or not you are already a part of it.
Welcome to
The Vivid Movement
Vivid: (adjective) Producing strong, clear images or feelings in the mind. Bright, distinct, and full of life.
I chose to call this wave of change “vivid” because it represents the liveliness, vibrancy, and authenticity I aim to cultivate within myself and others. It's about being fully present, genuine, and impactful in all aspects of our endeavors.
Just as vivid colors and imagery can evoke strong emotions and create memorable experiences, authentic personal expression can have a powerful impact, resonating deeply with others and leaving a lasting impression.
The vivid movement is all about trusting our innate wisdom, curiosity, creativity, and desire to make a positive impact in the world, while authentically and peacefully showing up in a way that allows us to create a fulfilling life.
Being vivid isn't just about the external—it's about an inner knowing that is infused throughout everything we do.
It's about welcoming our uniqueness, our passions, and our vulnerabilities, and allowing them to show us the way.
It is about trusting our deep wisdom to invent our way of being and helping others.
It’s about feeling secure in the knowledge that what we know, and care about is worth sharing and valuable, and letting it flow.
After a pivot to online marketing and services, it took me 5 years to fully step into my authentic voice and visible presence! I found my way to feel safe to embrace my inner hippie, talk about peaceful visibility, and be the embodiment of my own truth, without fear or shame or a sense of wanting to fit in. It doesn’t take everyone this long, but I discovered I had healing to do along the way … and liberated myself!
By being ourselves we feel so clear on our purpose that showing up vividly and peacefully becomes a radical act. I’m loving it!
You already have everything it takes inside you.
It isn’t a huge leap to embody this. What it takes is acknowledging that this is who you are and how you want to live and do business …. gently allowing yourself to connect with the truth of who you are and want to be, and letting it flow through your work, your words, your tone, and your presence - in person and online.
When we embrace our vivid nature, we tap into our full potential as entrepreneurs and as human beings. We bring passion, creativity, and purpose to everything we do, creating businesses that are not only successful but also meaningful. Our vividness becomes a force for positive change, inspiring others to follow their own path and make a difference in the world.
So here’s to embracing your true vivid nature and creating a movement—one that celebrates authenticity, connection, and positive change. Let's show the world what's possible when women come together with courage, compassion, and conviction.
How to embrace your vivid nature and become more peacefully visible
Here are a few ways you can start to embody your vivid nature right away:-
Take that mic at your next networking event and introduce yourself in a way that resonates deeply with others. Instead of focusing solely on what you do, start by sharing something you've noticed in your industry or community that you want to change, and why it matters. By connecting with your ideal clients’ experiences and concerns, you'll create a meaningful connection from the start and open up valuable real conversations.
When writing your next blog, email, or social media post, trust yourself to use storytelling techniques such as what I refer to as belief flipping, to make your ideas memorable and captivating. Share your own experiences and views in a way that grabs people's attention. Be yourself and speak from the heart, letting your excitement and authenticity shine through.
Shift your focus from yourself to your audience, remembering that your purpose is bigger than you. Ask yourself: How can I serve and uplift others with my message? How can I make a positive impact in their lives?
You’re doing amazing things … so please keep going!
