I Thought I Was Being 'Professional'... But I Was Actually Avoiding Being Visible | Ep 44

Charlotte Bailey

In this episode I reflect on 8 years ago, when I started my business, my private practice. At that time I had a Facebook Page... and no other way to market myself. I rarely shared the Facebook Page because - I told myself I was being 'professional' - I didn't want to 'push' my services on to people, because that would be unethical. 

Even as a self-aware therapist with 20+ years studying psychology it took me a while to notice that I was actually avoiding putting myself out there - it wasn't really about professionalism at all, it was actually about protection. 

I'm sharing this with you alongside some ways avoidance can masquerade and thoughts to look out for - so you can spot when you might be avoiding visibility at and start noticing with curiosity not criticism, what might really be behind that avoidance and how to start taking manageable steps forward. 

If you're a woman in business and this episode resonates I would love for you to join me and the other speakers at the amazing Reignite & Rise retreat taking place in the UK on 7 October 2025 at Carden Park Hotel Cheshire - I'll be delivering my talk/workshop 'Reignite From Within: Rise With Visibility That Feels Like You'. You'll discover what's really holding you back, reconnect with the 'why' behind what you do, identify what you can do to start moving forward with confidence and rise with visibility that feels like you. I'd love to see you there! More info here
