Listen "Season Five | 1. Self Gatekeeping"
Episode Synopsis
Episode SummaryToday, I’m exploring a concept that’s been on my mind for weeks: self-gatekeeping. This isn’t the online trend of “no gatekeeping here,” but something deeper—how we sometimes hold ourselves back from sharing our unique gifts, knowledge, and experiences with the world.What You’ll Learn• The true meaning of self-gatekeeping and how it might be limiting you• Why your perspective matters, even when it feels like “everything’s been done”• Practical steps to break free from self-imposed barriers• Why imperfect action is more powerful than waiting for perfectionUpdates• Hosting ChatGPT workshops for creatives• Designing stunning Squarespace websites (just finished an incredible site for Jocelyn French vintage atelier)• Shifting focus from website templates to custom Squarespace designsPersonal ReflectionI’ve been unintentionally taking a break from Instagram. The longer I stay away, the harder it feels to return—a perfect example of self-gatekeeping! To change this, I’m committing to posting a new film after tomorrow’s workshop.Your Next StepChoose one thing you’ve been holding back—a story, an idea, or a piece of creativity—and share it. Post it on Instagram, write about it on your blog (and let people know it’s there), or simply bring it up in a conversation with a friend.Mentioned Resources• ChatGPT workshops (recordings available)• Squarespace website design services• White Space newsletter (coming soon)Episode Quote“What if there’s just one person whose life changes because you chose to share what you know?”Let’s ConnectIf you’re ready to transform your Squarespace site into something truly extraordinary, let’s connect. I’d love to help you elevate your online presence!
