Tired of holding back your voice?

Fear of judgment, self-doubt, and constant comparison can leave you second-guessing yourself, staying quiet, or showing up in ways that don’t feel authentic. 
The Visibility Studio helps you replace overwhelm and hesitation with clarity, confidence, and a simple practice for showing up and speaking up - your way.
 

There are many reasons why visibility feels hard.

FAMILY ENVIRONMENTS: when our values differ, it can be challenging to stay true to ourselves while preserving family relationships.

IDENTITY: when we feel misunderstood or unappreciated by those around us, it’s easy to hold back for fear of judgment or rejection.

DIGITAL SPACES: the constant comparison and noise of social media can erode our confidence, making us question whether we’re showing up in the ‘right’ way, or if we’re even being heard.

WORKPLACES: workplaces often require us to filter who we are, sharing only a fraction of ourselves, which can leave us feeling undervalued, inauthentic, or isolated.

GLOBAL EVENTS: when the world feels chaotic, it can feel overwhelming or inappropriate to show up, shaking our confidence and voice.

INNER VOICE: often the loudest barrier to visibility is within us—our inner critic, fear of failure, or perfectionism can hold us back more than any external influence.

 

For business owners, visibility challenges are constant.

As the face of your brand, you’re always navigating how much to share, what tone to use, which stories to tell, how to balance relatability with professionalism, where to show up, and how to handle criticism.

 

Personally, I didn't anticipate motherhood reshaping my relationship to visibility, but it did. 

From being visibly pregnant to navigating birth care, postnatal body changes, and advocating for my children, motherhood brought new visibility challenges at every turn.

 

Each situation challenges how we show up, often without a roadmap.

What we need are practices to anchor us.

To help us reflect, gain clarity, and consciously step into the kind of person we want to be.

From that place, we show up on our own terms - with clarity, calm, and conviction.

A visibility practice is a regular way of connecting with yourself and clarifying how you want to show up and speak up as your fullest self. It supports you when you’re feeling unmotivated, uncertain, or flat; when visibility feels out of reach and you can’t find the energy to engage.

 

When you have a visibility practice, your approach to visibility changes.
You feel more comfortable with being you - just as you are - which paves the way to show up naturally and with ease, with more intention and impact. 

When you take time to focus on how you’re going to show up in the world, you save countless hours of second-guessing, indecision, and spending time on things that are well outside of your interests or expertise. 

With clarity guiding you, decisions become easier and more aligned, allowing you to move forward with confidence and purpose. 

When visibility feels hard, it’s so easy to shrink back, even when you have something important to share.

There's all that second-guessing. The inner critic whispering, 'Who am I to speak up?' 

Then there's the noise of social media and other people’s opinions.

These all chip away at your confidence. 

Welcome to The Visibility Studio.

When you take the time to think about how you want to show up and speak up, everything shifts. 

If fear of judgment, constant second-guessing, or the noise of social media has been holding you back, you’re not alone.
For many of our students, the real challenge isn’t a lack of ideas. It’s the overwhelm of trying to do all the things, the pressure to 'show up' in ways that don’t feel authentic, and/or the relentless grind of needing to show up all. the. time.

The Visibility Studio helps you clear the mental clutter and stop spinning your wheels.

In just 14 days, you’ll shift from scattered and uncertain to grounded, clear, and confident about how you want to show up - your way.

Imagine this: 

You feel at ease - clear in your vision and grounded in your values.

You approach opportunities with discernment, knowing when to step forward and when to stay quiet without doubting yourself.

You know what to say and how to say it in a way that feels both authentic and impactful.

Sharing your ideas feels like a source of energy and excitement, not anxiety or confusion.

You feel aligned with your purpose, confident that your voice and presence are making a meaningful impact.

This shift happens when you build a personalised visibility practice. 

Through guided reflection, visibility experiments, and clearing practices, we’ll take you step by step through creating a simple, repeatable way to show up and be heard. You'll cut through the noise, aligning your inner clarity with your outer expression.

Real results from people who’ve overcome visibility fears and found their voice

Lisa, UK

'I definitely feel like I see myself and understand myself more clearly now. I used to think visibility was just about marketing, but now I realise it’s about being truly seen. That shift has given me the confidence to show up in a way that feels natural and right for me.'

Mary, Ireland

'This really made me think about how I hold myself back in my coaching business. I surprised myself this week by posting about my business on my biz and personal page. I'm shocked at myself! I don't feel triggered by this either. I've definitely cleared some visibility blocks.'

 

Eleni, Greece

'I have started to express myself and show myself more in a small online circle of women I trust. I’ve begun stacking positive experiences of being visible, and I can feel my confidence growing each time I do.'

Christey, Japan

'I've started taking action in my work to reach new audiences, where I didn't feel it was necessary before. I'm also feeling more confident in asserting my opinions in my personal life, like my voice matters more.'

Wendy, USA

'After 11 years in business, I’ve finally found a direction that feels deeply aligned with my strengths and values. Because it’s so aligned, being visible and promoting my work now feels natural and effortless. Your visibility work helped me clear the noise and see the path forward.'

Helena, Australia

'After doing your visibility work, I woke up very early this morning with a really clear head and lots of energy – the first time in ages! I’m excited about working on my business again because I feel aligned and purposeful.'

Trudy, Australia

'There’s a beautiful synergy between your voice recordings, written examples, and the workbook and visibility clearing practices. Together, they create a safe and supportive space that helped me gently uncover and trust my inner knowledge.

Your encouraging feedback made the experience feel truly positive and safe. I’m deeply grateful for this journey.'

 

"When you lose touch with yourself, you lose
yourself in the world."
 - Eckhart Tolle

Without taking the time to connect with your inner wisdom and reflect on how you want to show up and speak up, it’s easy to remain stuck in indecision and reactive patterns. This can leave you feeling:

  • Invisible or unheard in moments when your voice is needed most. 

  • Uncertain about whether you have anything meaningful to contribute.

  • Overwhelmed and unprepared when challenges arise, like advocating for your children, asking for a sale, or sharing your ideas publicly.

  • Burnt out and exhausted from second-guessing yourself or lacking clear boundaries. 

Over time, these missed opportunities can accumulate, leaving you feeling less focused, powerful, and aligned with the causes, communities, or roles that matter most to you.

Happily, it doesn’t have to be that way.

By taking time to reflect on how you want to show up and speak up, and building a practice that will support you to stay aligned to that vision, you can meet all visibility moments with clarity and confidence, ready to step forward, take your place joyfully, and make a meaningful impact when it matters most.

The benefits of a visibility practice

When visibility feels like an endless to-do list, it’s easy to burn out or give up entirely. A visibility practice shifts you out of the relentless 'must be visible all. the. time.' grind and into a rhythm that actually works for you.

WITHOUT a practice

  • You feel scattered, pulled in a hundred directions, and unsure which actions matter most.

  • Social media noise and constant comparison make you second-guess every move.

  • You’re exhausted by trying to 'show up' all the time, without a clear sense of what’s working.

  • Judgment and self-doubt stop you from sharing your ideas or make you play small.

  • Every effort feels disconnected - no rhythm, no momentum.

WITH a visibility practice

  • You have a grounded, repeatable rhythm that feels doable - even on busy days.

  • Your voice grows clearer and more confident because you trust your approach.

  • You show up with intention and ease, instead of reacting to social media pressure.

  • You feel energised, not drained, because you’re focused on what truly matters.

  • Visibility stops being a grind and starts feeling like a natural extension of who you are.

What you get in The Visibility Studio

 The Visibility Studio is built to take you out of the 'must show up all the time' hustle and into a calm, clear rhythm that feels natural to you. We don’t just hand you more strategies to pile on your to-do list. Instead, we guide you step by step to create a visibility practice that feels sustainable, aligned, and true to who you are.

A visibility practice is your personal path to finding right voice - the words you feel most called to speak - and right action - how and when to share those words as you become more visible in the world.

Inside the Studio, we take you through four core elements of visibility: Seeing, Speaking, Listening, and Being. Together, we explore:

  • Seeing: Noticing your inner patterns, blocks, and strengths so you can stop second-guessing yourself.

  • Speaking: Finding the words that truly feel like yours, so you share messages with confidence and clarity.

  • Listening: Learning when to tune out the noise of social media, opinions, and comparison, and when to pay attention to your own inner wisdom.

  • Being: Anchoring into presence and alignment so visibility stops feeling like a performance and starts feeling like a natural extension of who you are.

Through 14 days of simple, steady guidance, you’ll receive:

  • Daily focused lessons that cut through overwhelm and guide you one step at a time (perfect if your brain feels scattered or you’re tired of juggling too many 'visibility rules').

  • Your personal visibility map, helping you see which of the four elements needs attention at any point in time, so you always know what to focus on.

  • Energy and mindset support, using guided reflections, visualisations, and visibility-clearing practices to shift fears of judgment, comparison, or not being enough.

  • Practical exercises that help you find your own rhythm for showing up - one that's consistent but not exhausting.

By the end, visibility won’t feel like another chore. It will feel like a grounded, repeatable practice that allows you to share your work, your story, and your impact, without burning out or losing yourself in the noise.

In week 1 we will explore the foundations of a visibility practice.

You’ll learn a series of tools and draw on your background and expertise to pull together a visibility map. From there, you’ll build out your visibility practice - one that’s tailored to your needs and circumstances.  

In week 2 we’ll build out your visibility practice. 

You’ll finalise and test your approach, looking for potential pitfalls, and learning approaches to overcome any challenges that might arise through the year as you’re undertaking your practice. 

Community space and live Q&A calls

The materials will be delivered via email and a private podcast feed. Plus there'll be weekly live Q&A sessions through August and a community space where you can share your approaches, ask questions, and celebrate your wins.  

True visibility isn’t about being everywhere or having opinions on everything. It’s about being aligned, intentional, and authentic.
It’s about using your voice in a way that reflects your values, and focusing your energy on the areas where you can make the greatest impact.

About your guide

Hi, I'm Samantha Nolan-Smith. I'm a mum of two, a yogini, introvert, and book and tea lover. 

I founded the School of Visibility in 2016 after talking a lot about visibility and discovering that sooo many of my students were excited about creating a business but terrified about anyone finding out about it.

I decided to create a space where all who need it can release their fears, build their understanding of how to be effectively visible, learn the tools they need to speak up and promote their work, and become more impactful in the world. 

I started my professional life as a lawyer and public policy advisor where I specialised in promoting the rights and wellbeing of Aboriginal people. Since starting my business I've been a finalist in the Telstra Business Awards, and interviewed by the ABC, Sky News, The Age, Australian Yoga Journal, and Sunday Life. 

The Visibility Studio will be running LIVE from 4-31 August.

The Visibility Studio is...

An anchor point

To return to daily, or as regularly as you wish, to stay focused on the way you want to show up and speak up through the year.

An activation space

To keep you growing and stepping more confidently into your power as you clarify your approach to showing up and speaking up. 

A grounded place

To return to and re-centre yourself, blocking out unhelpful influences and planting the seeds you want to see bloom.

While many courses focus on doing more or achieving more, The Visibility Studio focuses on being more aligned, intentional, and purposeful.

It will create a foundation of clarity, confidence, and purposeful habits that support all your visibility efforts - whether that looks like advocating for your children, speaking up in your workplace, or showing up authentically in your business.

A visibility practice is the foundation for showing up in the world with purpose, clarity, and confidence.

When you cultivate a visibility practice, you step into alignment with who you truly are and the unique impact you’re here to make.

It’s not just about what you say or do - it’s about how you embody your voice and presence every day. 

With a visibility practice supporting you, you’re able to create ripples of change that extend far beyond what you can see or imagine.
