Embracing your Light: stepping into visibility without comparison
Overcoming comparison & embracing visibility: How the number 3 in numerology jelps you step into your light with confidence
Dear Awakened Entrepreneur,
One of the things I’ve noticed with my clients who have a 3 in their numerology is how often comparison holds them back. Drawn to beauty (the famous shiny object syndrom) creativity and self-expression, they also tend to struggle with feeling "not enough"—as if their voice, their message, or their presence isn’t as valuable as others’.
And in this 3-month of a 9-year, we might feel an even stronger pull toward comparing ourselves, hesitating to express our truth, or questioning our worthiness to be seen. But this energy also invites us to break free from those limitations and fully embody our unique light.
In this post, I’ll share practical ways to move beyond comparison and step into visibility with confidence.
And because this year is about expanding our awareness and integrating new perspectives, I’ve invited
, astrologer and spiritual social media consultant, to offer an additional lens:➡️ how astrology reveals hidden blocks in communication and visibility.
Her insights will help you tap into your Mercury, Chiron, and 12th House placements to understand and release subconscious fears that may be keeping you from fully showing up.
Because in this year of completion and expansion, opening up to new perspectives is not just valuable—it’s essential.
Let’s dive in. ✨
The trap of comparison & the illusion of perfection
We live in an era where social media floods us with perfectly curated images of success. We see 7-figure entrepreneurs posting pictures of themselves on a beach, claiming they made it all happen effortlessly. We admire those who seem to have it all figured out—whether it’s their branding, their business or their spiritual evolution. And suddenly, we start to doubt ourselves.
“Am I good enough?”
“Do I have anything valuable to say?”
“What if I’m not as evolved or as worthy as they are?”
These thoughts don’t just hold us back; they condition us to believe that we are less than—that we need to be more before we can show up.
💚 And yet, your path is uniquely yours. No one else has your soul’s journey, your lessons, or your expression.
Your growth is a personal journey—not a competition
Your soul chose this incarnation for specific experiences, and your spiritual journey is not a race. It is uniquely yours. Where you are today is exactly where you need to be.
Instead of comparing yourself to others, the real question is:
👉 “Am I growing in a way that feels aligned with my truth?”
The only comparison that truly matters is you vs you
Am I more aligned than I was yesterday?
Am I proud of what I created today?
Am I satisfied with how I showed up?
For exemple, in Human Design, each of us has an internal compass that tells us when we’re aligned or misaligned. For me, when I feel unsatisfied, it’s a sign I’m not fully stepping into my natural energy. But that dissatisfaction is not about others—it’s about me not honoring my own truth.
Stepping into your light: owning your unique expression
We are not here to fit into someone else’s mold.
We are here to embrace our full expression—our gifts, our wisdom, our quirks, our contradictions. And this also applies to how we show up in business and branding.
Your brand is an extension of your most aligned, evolved self. But to embody that version of you, you must first:
1️⃣ Stop consuming and start creating. The more you scroll and compare, the less energy you have for your own expression.
2️⃣ Trust the messages that come through you. Whether through intuition, channeled insights, or creative sparks—let them guide your next steps (do you need clarity and to trust it, book a 1-1 session with me).
3️⃣ Embrace who you are TODAY. Instead of waiting to be “more ready” or “better,” own your brilliance now.
For me, Peaceful Success is about honoring all the versions of myself—whether I feel like putting on makeup and showing up confidently or staying in my workout clothes, focusing inward. Each version of me is valid, worthy, and essential to my journey.
A simple practice to anchor your light
This month, try this:
Every morning, before you start your day, say: “I am excited to be this version of me today.” and set the intention to live your day in this energy!
Embody it in small ways: the way you dress, the way you speak, the way you move through your day.
Before bed, ask yourself: “Did I honor my truth today? What made me proud?”
Sometimes, the biggest win of the day isn’t how much you achieved, but the moments when you paused, breathed, and felt aligned.
🌟 Unlocking your light: using astrology to overcome visibility blocks (by )
Fear of being seen often runs deeper than we realize—it’s tied to subconscious programming, past experiences, and even the blueprint of our natal chart. If you’ve ever struggled with fully stepping into your light, astrology can help uncover where those fears originate and how to move through them.
Three key placements to examine in your chart are:
Your Mercury Placement: Mercury governs communication and self-expression. If it’s in a more introspective sign (like Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces) or under challenging aspects (like a square to Saturn or Pluto), you may struggle with speaking up, feeling heard, or trusting your voice. Understanding Mercury’s sign, house, and aspects can reveal where self-doubt originates and how to reframe your inner dialogue.
Chiron in your 5th House or Chiron in Leo: Chiron represents your greatest wound & your greatest healer. Meaning, that when you go through the pain and overcome your fears around it – it will also serve to be your greatest healer and strength. When you have Chiron in the 5th House or in the sign of Leo, it can create a fear of being seen by others and yet if you allow your light to be witnessed – you will find that you feel more powerful, seen, and respected for who you are.
Your 12th House: Known as the house of the subconscious, planets here often hold hidden fears about visibility. A strong 12th-house influence (especially with the Sun, Mercury, or Saturn) can indicate a tendency to stay in the background, feeling safer in the shadows rather than the spotlight. Healing comes through awareness—journaling, meditation, and small, intentional acts of self-expression can help reprogram deep-seated beliefs.
Reflective Questions for Growth
To move forward on this journey, ask yourself:
How does my Mercury placement influence the way I communicate and express myself?
Where do I silence or censor myself, and why?
What fears arise when I imagine being fully seen and recognized?
What stories about visibility did I inherit from my past or upbringing?
How can I create small, safe opportunities to share my voice more authentically?
Healing visibility blocks is a journey of self-trust and reclamation. By working with your Mercury placement and 12th house, you can start to untangle old fears and step into the fullness of your light—one conscious step at a time.

✨ Your voice is a gift. Your light is meant to shine.
You were never meant to fit into someone else’s definition of success or beauty—even if you’ve been told otherwise or raised to fit into a box. Your path, your timing, and your essence are uniquely yours.
Every time you choose to express yourself—without comparison, without hesitation—you are anchoring more of your truth into the world.
So take a deep breath. Embody your superpower and stance, as if you were your own superhero. Step forward with confidence, knowing that your presence matters, your message is valuable, and your light is truly needed.
And remember—this journey isn’t about perfection. It’s about showing up, again and again, as the most aligned version of yourself available each day.
This is the core of my work, my posts, and my communication: guiding you to find YOUR way of being, so you can do business differently and serve the world and all living beings in a way that feels true to you. It’s never about applying my method—it’s about discovering the one that is meant for you.
