What if being visible has nothing to do with getting more people to look at you? In this episode of Courage to Be Visible, I’m talking with Becky Plautz, an identity coach, speaker and transformational photographer who helps women see themselves first so that being seen by others stops feeling so scary.
Becky shares the stories we tell ourselves that keep us hiding, why she no longer starts with the camera, and her four-part path to self-trust: see yourself, be seen, reflect and repeat. If you’ve ever cringed at a photo of yourself or put off showing up “until you’re ready,” this conversation is for you.

🔑 Key Takeaways
- The story isn’t always true. Many of the reasons we hide come from stories we tell ourselves about what other people think. Catch the story, ask “is that true?”, then replace it with something empowering. Removing it isn’t enough.
- Start with mindset, not the camera. Before the photo shoot comes the work of noticing how you talk to yourself when you show up, and when you don’t.
- Becky’s 4-part visibility path: See yourself (who you’re becoming, not your title), be seen (show up before you feel ready), reflect (collect evidence that you can trust yourself), and repeat (it gets easier every time).
- Mountains vs. landing strips. Small doubts pile up into a mountain you hide behind. Small wins stack the same way into a landing strip that carries you to your goal.
- You’re not becoming a new person. Becky’s clients don’t walk away feeling like someone new. They walk away saying, “That’s me. She’s always been there.”
- We need to be better mirrors for each other. When we see ourselves clearly, we can finally believe it when other women tell us we’re brave.
