What If You Stopped Being Invisible? | Kay Fittes on Showing Up, Speaking Up & Knowing Your Value Have you ever felt invisible? Maybe you've worked hard, done all the right things, and quietly hoped someone would notice your value. Or perhaps you've found yourself shrinking back, waiting to be asked, or hesitating to say what you really want. In this episode of the Being Brave Tour Podcast, Karen Rae sits down with speaker, author, and founder of High-Heeled Success, Kay Fittes, for a conversation about what can happen when women stop waiting to be recognized and begin showing up for themselves. Kay knows the feeling of invisibility personally. Growing up surrounded by big personalities, she says she never fully developed a voice of her own. That experience eventually became part of the foundation for work she has now spent decades doing with women. Together, Karen and Kay explore what Kay calls the “Big Fat Lie”—the belief that if we simply keep our heads down, work hard, and provide enough value, eventually someone will notice and reward us. Kay offers another possibility: learn to recognize your own value, ask for what you want, use your voice, take up space, and become intentional about how you show up. She also walks us through her 6 P's for High-Heeled Success, from personal and professional esteem to verbal and nonverbal communication, presentations, and personal packaging—practical ways women can begin moving from insight into action. And Kay shares something that may surprise you: her very first presentation ended with her passing out! Today, after thousands of seminars and decades as a professional speaker, she's living proof that where you begin doesn't have to determine where you end up. This conversation is an invitation to ask yourself: Where might I still be making myself smaller? What do I really want? And am I willing to ask for it? Kay's hope for women is that we recognize the power already within us—and use it to create change in our careers and our lives.
