This week’s Roundtable is about the wins no one sees. Hi Reader. Let’s talk visibility. In this month’s STC episode, a theme kept coming up: the pressure to be “loud” in order to succeed online.

READ POSTToo loud? Too quiet? Or just right?
Reader Roundtable: What's Your Take? Hello Reader. This week, I shared a quote on the podcast that stuck with me:“If I’m too much, maybe you need to find less.” (Thanks, Elyse Myers.) It got me thinking—this isn’t just about being too loud.It’s also about being told you’re too quiet. Too visible. Not visible enough. Too direct. Too reserved. Wherever you land, your voice matters. You don’t have to dial it up or down to fit in. So tell us: Have you ever felt pressure to be louder—or...
READ POSTWhat if visibility isn’t the problem?
This week's Page Turner Hello Reader. I’ve mentioned it on the podcast before: people are always telling me, “You need to go live more. People want to see your face.” And I get it—video has its place. I’m not against being on camera. I’ve even started dipping a toe back in. But the live, off-the-cuff stuff?
