Don’t Be Scared to Be Seen as an Artist | ArtistMindset S2EP4

Being seen doesn’t always feel like a gift — sometimes it feels like a risk.In this episode of The Artist Mindset Podcast, I share a deeply personal reflection on why visibility can feel unsafe, especially if you grew up in cultures shaped by fear, control, or scarcity.I talk about how my upbringing in Eastern Europe shaped my relationship with success, visibility, and ambition — and how moving to Denmark slowly rewired my nervous system, my mindset, and my belief about people.This episode is for artists, creators, and sensitive humans who feel called to share their work… but still feel an invisible wall holding them back.We talk about:– Fear of judgment, envy, and criticism– Cultural conditioning around safety and visibility– Why assuming people are “against you” becomes a self-built prison– How changing the story in your mind can unlock your creative lifeIf you’ve ever felt scared to be visible, to promote your work, or to take up space — this episode is for you.✨ New episodes every week.
