How to Be Seen as a Sensitive Creative: Visibility Without Overwhelm

Have you ever felt that lump in your throat when it’s time to share your work? Like you’re about to reveal a piece of your soul to the world?

In this personal solo episode of Empowering the Artist Within, we explore the vulnerability of being visible as a creative, especially for sensitive souls, women, and those who’ve grown up with messages about staying quiet, small, or “perfect.”

We talk about the fear of being seen, how past experiences and perfectionism feed that fear, and most importantly how to begin sharing your work in a way that feels safe, empowering, and true to you.

This is a gentle space to reflect, feel understood, and take small steps toward being more visible without the overwhelm.

Because showing up isn’t about being loud or flawless, it’s about being real and authentic.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why visibility feels so uncomfortable and how to move through that fear with care
• The difference between expression and exposure and why you get to set the boundaries
• How to reframe vulnerability as a strength, not a weakness
• Gentle ways to practice “safe visibility” and build your confidence over time
• Why imperfect, raw creative work is often the most powerful
• A personal story from a year ago when I felt nervous speaking out, but did it anyway
• A reminder that your voice matters, even when it’s quiet, imperfect and ra

Episode Takeaways Recap:

• Fear of being seen is natural, it means you care
• Visibility doesn’t mean baring all. You get to choose what, how, and when you share
• Vulnerability is courage in action
• Sharing your work helps you grow even when it’s messy or unfinished
• Safe, empowering visibility is something you can build gently, at your own pace
• Community matters, you don’t have to do it alone
• Every small act of showing up creates momentum
• You don’t need to be perfect to be powerful

In this soul-nourishing episode, Liz Ross is joined by the incredible Alice Sheridan; artist, mentor, and founder of the Connected Artist Club. Alice has been a guiding light in my own creative path, and it was such a joy to sit down with her and explore what it truly means to live a creative life.

We talk about how our art reflects the seasons we’re in, how it helps us explore who we’re becoming, and why creativity is never linear. Alice shares powerful insights on permission, process, and what it means to create from the heart.

We also explore the origins and evolution of the Connected Artist Club and why Alice has always made space for both structure and softness, strategy and soul, in the way she supports artists.

This episode is an open-hearted look at how we grow; not just as artists, but as humans.

✨ Takeaways from this episode include:

• Why art is a space to explore the parts of yourself that aren’t fully formed yet
• How your creative seasons shift with your life and that’s okay
• The value of community and why artists thrive when they're not isolated
• That you don’t have to monetize your art for it to matter
• The difference between gathering information and making real change
• The three pillars of growth inside the Connected Artist Club: Self, Studio Practice, and Structure
• Why Alice created a membership instead of a course and how it’s evolved over time
• How to make peace with going at your own pace
• That nurturing your creativity can be enough, it doesn’t need to be justified
• The value of slow, steady, heart-led growth
