🎥 Speaker Feature Interview
“Forgive Yourself for Not Being Visible”
In this raw, heart-opening conversation, Brenda and Cassandra explore:
- Why shame and self-judgment keep brilliant entrepreneurs off camera and off stage

🎤 MainStage Live Session
🕘 Format: 30-minute LIVE, workshop-style segment
💡 Included for All Summit Attendees
Forgive Yourself for Not Being Visible
This is not another “just be more confident” talk.
In this powerful, experiential MainStage session, Brenda guides attendees into the emotional truth underneath visibility blocks: the unforgiveness, shame, and self-judgment that quietly sabotage their ability to show up on camera, on stage, and in their marketing.
Through guided reflection, mini-story exercises, and performer-level presence tools, she helps participants release the internal weight of “I should be further ahead by now” — and step into a kinder, more powerful relationship with their own voice.
Attendees will walk away with a felt sense of relief, a simple emotional framework, and a practical starting point for telling their story with more confidence and compassion.
💬 Key Takeaways
✔ Release the Shame Around “Not Showing Up”
Understand why you haven’t been as visible as you want — and dissolve the guilt that keeps you stuck.
✔ Reclaim Your Voice Through Story
Identify a key moment in your life or business story and begin shaping it into a visibility asset, instead of a silent burden.
✔ Step Into Your Presence Like a Performer
Learn simple embodiment, breath, and focus practices Brenda uses on stage so you can show up more grounded, expressive, and magnetic — on camera, on stage, and in sales conversations.
