From “Too Much/Not Enough” to Fully Seen with Jen Vertanen

If you grew up hearing you’re “too much” or “not enough,” visibility can feel like standing under a spotlight with no script. In this energizing chat, transformation coach Jen Vertanen shares how she reverse-engineered her future 80-year-old, fully alive self; and used that vision to show up now.We talk death-by-a-thousand-paper-cuts conditioning, why authenticity beats polish, and tiny, doable actions that get you visible without being precious, perfect, or burnt out.What we coverWhy visibility is non-negotiable for coaches, healers, and heart-centered entrepreneurs (and why buyers are craving real over slick).“Too much / not enough” programming and how it quietly blocks your voice…and your marketing.The 80-year-old self exercise: reverse-engineering the qualities, values, and behaviors of your future self so you can embody them today (hello pink hair and fuchsia Docs).Authenticity > perfection: why stumbling, laughing, and being “charmingly awkward” creates trust and connection.Baby-step bravery: the small, safe actions (record to yourself, practice reps on mic/camera) that build confidence fast.The repel era: attracting right-fit clients by being unapologetically you—and letting the wrong ones self-select out.Mindset flip: from “look at me” to “let the right clients find me.” Your work matters more than a flawless delivery.Style as signal: color, clothing, and “you on a good day” visuals as authentic brand cues (not vanity).Quick takeawaysYou don’t need to be “ready”—you need to start (tiny, repeatable reps beat perfect plans).Being visibly imperfect makes you relatable, not risky.Define success from the inside out (identity → action → results).Boundaries are a visibility tool: magnetize your people, repel the rest—on purpose.Connect with JenWebsite: bedarecreate.com Facebook facebook.com/jennifervertanenInstagram instagram.com/jenvertanenLinkedIn linkedin.com/in/jenvertanenYouTube youtube.com/jenvertanenConnect With Andrea Stenbergwebsite: https://www.thebabyboomerentrepreneur.com/LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/andreastenberg/Instagram https://www.instagram.com/andreastenberg/YouTube https://www.youtube.com/andreastenberg?sub_confirmation=1Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/TheBabyBoomerEntrepreneurLove the show?
