Oh, and don’t forget your VIP backstage pass…
Visibility… For sensitive professionals, it’s a loaded word—equal parts opportunity and risk. But what if embracing our vulnerability in the spotlight is the key to finding confidence, trust, and connection?
That’s exactly what we’re exploring in this episode of The Sensitive Professionals Podcast.
I’m joined by Karen Bennett, a freelance brand and graphic designer based in the idyllic Midlothian countryside near Edinburgh. Karen brings nearly two decades of expertise in marketing, project management, and content creation, paired with a passion for crafting sustainable, stunning brand designs.
Together, we dive into Karen’s career journey—transitioning from corporate marketing to self-employment—and explore how sensitivity has shaped her approach to visibility, vulnerability, and building confidence.
Here’s what we dive into
Karen’s love-hate relationship with sensitivity and how she’s turned it into a strength for confidence.
The evolution of her visibility journey—from blending in to boldly stepping into the spotlight.
How vulnerability, when embraced, can feel like both a risk and a superpower.
The unique challenges and opportunities sensitive professionals face in building confidence through visibility.
Practical ways to align with your values and brand identity to feel grounded, seen, and self-assured.
Karen’s story reminds us that sensitivity isn’t something to hide—it’s something to celebrate. If you’ve ever struggled with being visible or doubted the value of your softer side, this conversation will inspire you to embrace your sensitivity and find your confidence in the spotlight.
