The Content Diaries 💌 Do you have a visibility problem? 🥴
Dec 14, 2025 10:31 pm
Hi ,
This week tested me in ways that make “busy” feel like a cute understatement.
My daughter had surgery — nothing life-threatening, but enough to flip our world into that strange hospital room limbo where time moves like syrup and your brain tries to multitask survival mode and normal life at the same time.
There’s something about watching a toddler in a hospital gown, clutching a stuffed animal twice her size, that snaps your priorities into razor focus.
And focus has been the theme — not just for my family, but in the conversations I’ve been having with so many of you.
Because here’s the thing I keep seeing:
A lot of brilliant women are stuck on what I call the Visibility Plateau.
It’s that maddening stage of business where you’re doing “all the right things”:
posting consistently,
showing up,
writing your heart out,
and still feeling like your content is dissolving into the feed like sugar in hot tea:
sweet, sincere, but ultimately invisible.
And from the outside, it looks like you need more:
more posts, more effort, more energy, more noise.
But this week, sitting beside my daughter’s hospital bed at 3 a.m., I kept thinking about how clarity doesn’t need more volume.
It needs direction.
Because when you’re in a crisis, every word suddenly matters.
Every decision is intentional.
There’s zero room for fluff or guesswork.
And it struck me:
Most content plateaus aren’t caused by lack of effort - they’re caused by lack of precision.
Not precision in a cold, corporate way.
Precision in a “my message lands like a flare in a blackout” way.
Clear. Focused. Impossible to mistake for anyone else’s.
Here's what I want every woman on that plateau to know:
**You’re not being overlooked because your work isn’t good enough.
You’re being overlooked because your message is trying to speak three languages at once.**
You’re trying to be valuable.
And relatable.
And educational.
And inspirational.
And maybe even a little bit funny because Instagram told you to loosen up.
But selling is not a juggling act.
Selling is a conversation — one clear signal cutting through the static.
And when your message sharpens, everything else sharpens with it:
your audience, your offers, your confidence, your revenue.
**Visibility isn’t a volume problem.
It’s a clarity problem.**
The plateau breaks when the message does.
So if you’ve been spinning, posting, tweaking, adjusting, second-guessing,
you’re not failing.
You’re just trying to shout through fog.
Let this be your permission slip to stop shouting and start signaling.
A reflection for your Monday:
What is the one problem you solve with the kind of clarity that makes people sit up straighter when they hear it?
Find that.
Sharpen that.
Build around that.
This becomes your content and marketing plan.
Your content doesn’t need to be louder.
It needs to be unmistakable.
And if this week taught me anything, it’s that when life gets loud and uncertain, clarity becomes your only anchor; in parenting, in business, in everything.
Sending you a steady signal for the week ahead.
