  Human Design, Visibility, and the Quiet Power of Women who finally trust their own blueprint 06.05.2026 29min

  What happens when a woman who’s built six businesses finally recognizes that none of them lit her up the way her current work with human design and non‑alcoholic mixology does and realizes that her “squirt‑like” energy was actually covering a deeply quiet, grounding life purpose all along? In this episode of Women Getting Visible host Christina Vidovich sits down with Lisa Danforth, business mentor, wellbeing strategist, human design guide, and non‑alcoholic mixologist to talk about how women can use human design as a practical blueprint for visibility, decision‑making and showing up aligned instead of performative.Lisa shares how universe‑level synchronicities kept dropping non‑alcoholic mixology into her lap, even while she was resisting the “no, thank you” reflex that so many women feel when an inspired idea shows up. She walks through what human design actually is: a personalized map of your type, authority, strategy and communication center that helps you pause wait for the right invitations, and speak from instinct instead of people‑pleasing especially powerful for women who’ve been conditioned to silence their own intuition. She also unpacks her own “incarnation cross” and the idea of “restraint” as a core force: learning that her true radiance is in creating stillness, clarity, and grounding for others, which turned her squirrel‑like, always‑on persona into a quiet, powerful mentor rather than a burnout‑prone do‑it‑all.This episode is for you if you’re a woman founder or leader who’s good at building businesses but still feels like “something’s missing” until you finally feel aligned, if you’re tired of pushing visibility formulas that don’t match your nature, and if you’re curious how human design can help you know when to speak when to wait and how to build identity‑based habits instead of one‑off leaps. This episode is for you if you resonate with the double bind of being either “too much” or “not enough,” and you’re ready to remove the old “not qualified, not supported, not enough” lens and start experimenting with a “what if I’m here to bring this” lens that lets you step into your gifts incrementally, without burning out.Memorable moments– ✨ The moment Lisa reveals that her “restraint” life theme means her core power is creating stillness that centers other people completely overturning her younger identity as the “squirrel” who’s always on the go.– ✨ Her story of ignoring inspired ideas for years (including non‑alcoholic mixology) and the friend who finally called her out on the pattern: “You’re clearly inspired by this, so why not just explore it lightly?”– ✨ The way she explains how human design helps projectors like herself learn to wait for the invitation instead of oversharing, and how that simple pause completely changes how her business ideas land and how she preserves her energy.– ✨ When she contrasts the inner critic (“you can’t do this, you don’t have enough”) with the inner mentor (“how can you do this?”) and shows how human design helps women reframe visibility as a series of small, aligned experiments instead of an all‑or‑nothing leap.– ✨ Her simple, practical answer to “what if I’ve never done this before?”: start with a high‑level human design reading, then use those tools to make your own marketing, messaging, and visibility decisions, without feeling permanently dependent on a guide.🔗 Connect & learn moreWebsite: https://www.womengettingvisible.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/womengettingvisibleLinkedIn Christina: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christinavidovich/LinkedIn Guest: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisadanforth/Guest links: https://lisa-danforth.com ✨ Real stories.

  Finding Clarity and Courage Through the Power of Story 05.05.2026 31min

  What happens when a woman who’s been visible on stage as a dancer and performer for 20 years suddenly feels like a complete stranger in her own body, and realizes that true visibility isn’t just about being seen but about being comfortable with who she has become? In this episode of Women Getting Visible, host Christina Vidovich sits down with Amy Newsom, storytelling mentor, visibility accountability partner, and co‑host of the Visibility Accountability Group with Women Getting Visible, to talk about how courage, clarity, and confidence build the foundation for women who want to speak, podcast, and show up online without freezing up or hiding behind layers of “I’m not ready.”This episode is for you if you’re a woman founder or leader who already has a “one‑word” year but still feels stuck around visibility, if you’re tired of looping back into the same cycle of self‑doubt and shame and want tools to reframe your story, or if you’re curious about how to use storytelling and vulnerability not as a performance but as a way to actually connect with your people and your purpose. This episode is for you if you’re watching 2025 fade away and wondering whether you really showed up or just showed up online, if you’re drawn to the 2026 Women Getting Visible Conference in Minneapolis focused on courage, clarity, and confidence, or if you’re looking for a place where someone will actually hold you accountable to show up, week after week, instead of letting you disappear back into the edge of the room.This episode is for you if you’ve ever stood in front of a camera, a mic, or a networking crowd and thought, “I’m not the person I used to be and I’m not sure who this is anymore,” and you’re ready to start treating visibility as a practice like a sport you get rusty at when you stop, not as a magic trick that has to be perfect the first time.Memorable moments– ✨ The moment Amy describes how visibility and shame are locked together, and how simply sharing her story with open‑minded people rewired the way she carried that shame in her own body.– ✨ When she reveals that her long‑term “three‑C” framework courage, clarity, and confidence predates the current AI‑prompted buzzwords, and how she spent three years earning that clarity for herself before bringing it to the Minneapolis conference.– ✨ Her story of using weight as a way to hide from visibility, only to realize that people were noticing her anyway, and how that awareness became one of the first cracks in her own cycle of avoidance.– ✨ The image of the teenage pimple on the nose: how most of the room is staring at their own “pimples” and barely noticing yours, and why that perspective is key to stepping into the visible, uncomfortable spotlight.– ✨ The open‑mic mentality at the Women Getting Visible Conference: that women are invited to test a 10‑minute story, business pitch, or lived‑lesson on stage, knowing they’ll be celebrated, encouraged, and gently coached instead of judged as “not ready yet.”🔗 Connect & learn moreWebsite: https://www.womengettingvisible.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/womengettingvisibleLinkedIn Christina: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christinavidovich/LinkedIn Guest: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amynubson-business-coach/✨ Real stories.

  Overwhelmed to AI‑enabled: How women leaders can use AI to survive & thrive without burning out 02.05.2026 32min

  What happens when a woman who’s already running a business, a family, and a self‑care practice suddenly realizes that AI isn’t some futuristic threat but a practical tool to help her survive and thrive in the chaos of 2025 and beyond? In this episode of Women Getting Visible, host Christina Vidovich sits down with L‑Marie, strategic AI business architect, certified AI prompt engineer, AI systems consultant, and founder of Biz Oasis, to talk about how women founders and leaders can use AI ethically, efficiently, and confidently to streamline operations, automate the tedious, and reclaim their time and energy.L‑Marie shares how she moved from 25+ years in telecom and technical systems into AI prompting, agent building, and AI‑cloning, launching her own AI‑enabled services while also hosting the fifth annual “Boss Brunch” in Maryland with the theme “Survive and Thrive” for business owners navigating economic and systemic chaos. She walks through real‑world examples: how she clones her own image and voice, how she builds AI agents that answer calls, book appointments, and handle basic client inquiries (like a law firm that runs her business while she’s back at a federal job), and how simple tools like Canva, Hagen, and 11 Labs can be taught to work like a paid assistant if you learn how to prompt them well. This episode is for you if you’re a woman founder or solopreneur who feels like you’re constantly putting out fires and drowning in admin, if you’re a leader rebuilding your visibility in 2026 and want to leverage AI without losing your humanity, or if you’re curious about where to start with AI but feel intimidated by the jargon and the fear of “replacing” humans.This episode is for you if you’re watching grocery prices soar while your workload climbs, if you’re already familiar with “Chaotic year” energy and need systems that actually calm it, or if you’re ready to upgrade from the free‑tier tools and DIY trial‑and‑error to a clear, intentional AI‑strategy that supports your visibility and impact instead of stealing your focus.Memorable moments– ✨ The moment L‑Marie explains that “AI” has been with us for decades calculators, grocery scanners, touch‑screen ordering and that today’s AI is really “on steroids,” not something entirely new.– ✨ Her story of building a New York‑accented AI agent for a client’s law firm so calls are answered by a voice that feels like her, while the client gracefully returns to federal work and still keeps her business alive.– ✨ The “coffee at Starbucks” analogy: showing how every button we press on a machine is a basic prompt, and connecting that to the prompts she teaches others to craft for tools like Hagen, Canva, and 11 Labs.– ✨ Her “don’t be afraid of the plane” advice: comparing AI fear to fear of flying, and encouraging women to treat AI tools like short test flights try a few, refine, then double down on the ones that actually serve you.– ✨ How she links her book From Chaos to Calm with her AI work, showing that whether you use AI or not, strategic systems and well‑designed customer‑experience frameworks are what actually reduce stress and keep clients happy.🔗 Connect & learn moreWebsite: https://www.womengettingvisible.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/womengettingvisibleLinkedIn Christina: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christinavidovich/LinkedIn Guest:https://www.linkedin.com/in/lori-wheeler-65732413/Guest links: http://thebizoasis.net Boss Brunch: https://thebossbrunch.com✨ Real stories.

  How One Creative Woman Uses Music and Movement to Reclaim Visibility and Joy 26.04.2026 34min

  What happens when a woman sits in the heavy silence of grief, stops singing, stops dancing, and then decides that her body, her art, and her music are the only way back to herself? In this episode of Women Getting Visible, host Christina Vidovich sits down with Miriam Chemmoss, a multidisciplinary artist and dance‑filled creative force who brings music, movement, and storytelling into every room she enters, to talk about how visibility, creativity, and healing are woven together when you allow yourself to feel, move, and create again.You’ll hear how Miriam used Congolese dance and instrumental music as a daily medicine after losing her mother, turning her own “downward loop” of depression into hours of movement that slowly released layer after layer of pain and revealed a new version of herself underneath. She shares how she discovered her own 11–14% Congolese DNA shortly after her mother passed, and how that felt like a confirmation that the music she’d always gravitated toward was actually encoded in her body, waiting to be activated. You’ll also hear about her training with legendary Congolese musicians in New York, how she learned to sing and dance in languages she didn’t fully understand, and how the polyrhythmic complexity of African music taught her to let go of rigid structure and trust her own flow.You’ll also hear how she built her own “dance therapy” approach through obsessive studio work—planning hours, studying old videos, and layering technique with inspiration—until within six months she felt like a different person and began getting invited to workshops and events she’d never imagined. She talks openly about how she juggles singing, dancing, acting, writing, and being a parent and business owner, and how she’s learned to read her own “downloads”: when music demands the night, when writing wakes her at 3 a.m., and when shows need three months of disciplined rehearsal. She also reflects on how her military‑brat upbringing shaped her need for structure, even as it sometimes pushes her toward rigidity, and how she’s learned to soften into creativity without losing her focus.This episode is for you if……you’re a woman founder, artist, or creator who’s put your art on hold while you “deal with life,”…you’ve felt stuck in grief, numbness, or depression and wonder if your body and your creativity hold the key to moving through it,…and you’re ready to stop choosing between “normal life” and visibility, and start seeing how music, movement, and honest expression are your natural superpowers.Memorable moments– ✨ The moment she realized her depression had completely shut down her singing, dancing, and performing, and how a friend’s simple question—“Why did you stop creating?”—woke her up to the fact that her art was her medicine, not just her hobby.– ✨ The image of her daily grind as a 24‑year‑old commuting from Manhattan to Staten Island, then taking a bus, a cab, and a walk up a hill to rehearse for hours with legendary Congolese musicians who breathed music from sunrise to sunset and taught her the discipline behind joy.– ✨ The way she created her own “dance therapy” routine—practicing at home, watching old videos, then carving out specific studio blocks for recording—until she realized she’d been healing herself in front of a camera for weeks, accumulating hours of unshared footage from a time when she felt unrecognizable on the inside.🔗 Connect & learn moreWebsite: https://www.womengettingvisible.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/womengettingvisibleLinkedIn Christina: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christinavidovich/#womengettingvisible #visibility #womeninleadership #womenfounders #danceheals #creativehealing #musicandmovement #artistjourney #congolesemusic #creativewomen

  How One Woman’s Journey in Washington DC Is Quietly Shaping Visibility for Women in Leadership 15.04.2026 33min

  What happens when the woman working behind the scenes in Washington DC realizes that her own story—of leaving Texas at 21, selling back her Ford Ranger, and stumbling into Congress—is the very thing that can help other women feel seen in politics, policy, and the labor movement? In this episode of Women Getting Visible, host Christina Vidovich sits down with Artie, a community organizer, labor advocate, and former staffer for a member of Congress, to talk about how visibility, power, and service show up in the places no one is watching: union halls, county party meetings, and the back‑of‑the‑house kitchens where policy is actually lived.You’ll hear how Artie made her “fourth tour” of living in Washington DC, shuttling between Texas, Denver, Louisville, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and even rural San Angelo, and how those moves taught her that the same struggles—lack of access to programs, unemployment, and concentrated hardship—show up in cities, small towns, and reservations alike. She shares how she first discovered her own power in a congressional office when she realized she’d never been told about college‑funding tools like FAFSA, then turned that into a high‑school scholarship program that went into every high school in her Houston district, giving kids a timeline, a calendar, and a real shot at a four‑year path.You’ll also hear how she moved from federal policy work into the heart of the labor movement after her father’s devastating workplace accident, when his union contract became the floor that kept her family from falling through. She walks through what that union contract actually did—paying for medical care, securing a small settlement, and retraining him for another job—and why that experience led her to spend the last 13 years fighting for workers’ rights to collectively bargain, safer working conditions, and employer‑based healthcare. And you’ll hear how she balances being the “person in the background” with her dream of stepping into more visible leadership in Nevada, where she’s planted her retirement home and still shows up in the same union‑hall offices she visited as a child.Memorable moments– ✨ The moment she realized she had never been told about FAFSA, grants, or timelines for college, and how that sparked a scholarship‑and‑calendar program that went into every high school in her Houston district and kept running after she left.– ✨ The story of her father’s workplace accident—his arm pulled into a machine, the off‑button 30 feet away—and how his union contract not only covered his medical care but also retrained him for a different job, reshaping her entire view of worker power.– ✨ The image of her as a 13‑ or 14‑year‑old helping her father, a union steward, piece together grievances in English, and how that early experience taught her that language, advocacy, and translation are all forms of leadership.– ✨ The way she describes county‑level politics as the place where “what you do on a daily basis has more of a direct impact than the federal,” and why she chose to come back to local and state work after years in DC‑focused policy.– ✨ The memory of Thanksgiving folding into this conversation, and how she connected her own “Mexican‑and‑Texan‑and‑German‑and‑white‑appearing‑but‑raised‑brown” heritage to the idea that visibility is about showing up in community, not just in a spotlight.🔗 Connect & learn moreWebsite: https://www.womengettingvisible.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/womengettingvisibleLinkedIn Christina: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christinavidovich/LinkedIn Guest: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mary-willcox-smith/#womengettingvisible #visibility #womeninleadership #womenfounders #parentingcoach #microstepmethod #mentalhealth #anxiety #neuroscience #parentingjourney

  From invisible to Visible: How parenting changed the way women lead their lives and businesses 12.04.2026 24min

  What happens when a woman who has spent years “fixing” her kids suddenly realizes that the real change has to start with her own relationship to herself, her past, and her visibility in the world? In this episode of Women Getting Visible, host Christina Vidovich sits down with Mary Wilcox Smith, parenting coach, speaker, author of The Micro Step Method, and founder of a simple, neuroscience‑backed approach to raising resilient kids, to talk about how parenting, perfectionism, anxiety, and trauma show up in real‑time family life—and how they secretly shape a woman’s visibility in business and leadership.Mary shares how she started life wanting to study psychology, then veered into a colorful decade of running a ski‑holiday company in Switzerland, living in France and Argentina, raising four daughters close in age, and navigating a child’s significant medical challenges while also carrying her own family history of depression and loss. As she tells it, early “win at all costs” parenting habits eventually crashed into tween and teen years, when she started to see her own anxiety, perfectionism, and depression mirrored in her daughters—and that became her wake‑up call to become a parent coach and create the Micro Step Method: tiny, doable shifts in language and response that, over time, rewire a child’s resilience and a parent’s sense of agency.This episode is for you if you’re a woman founder, leader, or entrepreneur who secretly wonders how much of your people‑pleasing, perfectionism, or “push harder” pattern came from your own upbringing, if you’re rebuilding your business after parenting years and want to step into visibility without burning out, or if you’re a parent who feels stuck between “fixing” your kids and healing your own invisible wounds.Memorable moments– ✨ The moment Mary realized she was transmitting her own anxiety and perfectionism to her daughters, and decided to stop “fixing” them and start changing her own responses instead.– ✨ The “accepting is not agreeing” micro‑step she gave a parent: learning to validate her daughter’s frustration (“mornings are no fun”) without agreeing with the behavior, which shifted the whole dynamic in four weeks.– ✨ Mary describing her childhood as “big white house on the hill, horses, golden retrievers” and suddenly revealing the hidden layer of suicide, depression, and family trauma behind that picture‑perfect front.– ✨ How she links neuroscience to parenting moments, explaining how a parent’s calm, regulated response wires a child’s brain for resilience and better mental health over time.– ✨ The “learn one, do one, teach one” idea she embraces, showing how her coaching, keynote work, and book together create a feedback loop that deepens her own healing while helping other parents.🔗 Connect & learn moreWebsite: https://www.womengettingvisible.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/womengettingvisibleLinkedIn Christina: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christinavidovich/LinkedIn Guest: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mary-willcox-smith/Guest links: Mary Smith parent coach.com / Mary Wilcox Smith.com; book The Micro Step Method for the Overwhelmed Parent on Amazon✨ Real stories.

  Your Voice in Your Legacy | Speaking Up for No Kid Hungry & Podcasthon 2026 16.03.2026 15min

  What happens when a visibility host steps out of her usual studio, joins thousands of podcasters worldwide, and dedicates her mic to make sure no child goes to bed hungry? In this special Podcasthon 2026 episode of Women Getting Visible, host Christina Vidovich shares why she chose No Kid Hungry as her featured charity and how your voice, story, and legacy can become part of ending childhood hunger in the United States.Host Christina Vidovich talks about Podcasthon—the world’s largest charity podcast event—and dedicating this conversation to No Kid Hungry, a nonprofit working to ensure every child gets the three meals a day they need through school meals, summer programs, and nutrition support. She explains how 1 in 5 kids in the U.S., nearly 14 million children, are living with hunger, and why that crisis demands voices, action, and sustained visibility, not just one‑night galas or short‑lived events.From the story of an 8‑year‑old girl foraging berries after World War II, to the realities facing single moms choosing between groceries and bills, Christina weaves together why food security, financial stability, and policy changes like expanding the child tax credit all belong in our visibility conversations. She invites you to see your own stories—missed promotions, hard setbacks, moves across countries, starting over—as part of a living legacy that can ripple out through podcasting, speaking, mentoring, and community.This episode is for you if you know your voice matters but you’ve been waiting for the “right” moment to speak up, if you care about kids and food insecurity and want your platform to do more than entertain, or if you’re ready to let your visibility become part of a bigger legacy of generosity, leadership, and change.Memorable moments ✨ Christina explains what Podcasthon is, how thousands of podcasters coordinate one week of charity episodes, and why she said yes to joining this global wave of giving.✨ The stark reality of 1 in 5 kids in the U.S.—14 million children—living with hunger, and what that looks like in everyday family trade‑offs.​ ✨ A powerful story of an 8‑year‑old girl in post‑World War II Europe picking berries from trees to survive, and how that memory connects to today’s hunger crisis.​ ✨ How visibility, storytelling, and community become amplifiers: from online connections to in‑person hugs, shared meals, and unexpected friendships.​ ✨ Why your promotions, setbacks, and “I lost everything and rebuilt” stories are not just personal—they’re part of the roadmap someone else needs.​🔗 Connect & learn moreWebsite: https://www.womengettingvisible.com​Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/womengettingvisible​LinkedIn Christina: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christinavidovich/​No Kid Hungry: https://www.nokidhungry.org​Podcasthon: https://podcasthon.org​✨ Real stories.
