The Courage to Be Seen: Why Showing Up on Video Can Transform Your Business and Life
Emmy-winning producer Barbara Bonds joins Kim Ward to reveal how introverts can confidently show up on video. Watch this empowering conversation on how to own your message without perfection.
In today’s digital world, visibility isn't just a strategy—it's a lifeline for business growth. But for many heart-led entrepreneurs, especially those juggling family life, the idea of showing up on video can feel overwhelming, vulnerable, and downright scary.
That’s why the latest episode of the Life by Design podcast is a must-watch. Joined by Emmy and Peabody Award-winning producer and video coach Barbara Bonds, this conversation goes deeper than camera tips. It dives into the emotional blocks that stop entrepreneurs from being seen—and how to overcome them.
Barbara shares her journey from Broadway and Hollywood to empowering introverts and perfectionists to show up online without fear. From perfectionism paralysis to fear of judgment, she breaks down how our past experiences shape how we show up (or don’t) in business.
Here are just a few insights from the episode:
Faceless content won’t build connection. People want to see YOU.
You don’t need to perform—just connect. Think FaceTime, not Netflix.
Perfectionism is often fear in disguise. Done is better than perfect.
Your message is someone’s answer. Hiding it isn’t serving anyone.
Whether you’ve been waiting for the right moment to start using video or you’re stuck in analysis paralysis, this episode will encourage, empower, and equip you with the mindset shift you need.
