What happens when two women podcasters passionate about visibility come together?
In this crossover episode, Lisa Quait, host of Real Women’s Stories, and Christina Vidovich, founder of Women Getting Visible, explore how sharing women’s everyday stories builds confidence, resilience, and empowerment—at home, at work, and in the world.
From blending families and midlife reinvention to retreats, coaching, and community, Lisa and Christina unpack why visibility is not just about being seen on camera—it is about seeing and honoring yourself, asking for help, and finding your tribe. They talk about guilt, self‑doubt, resilience, and why both midlife women and women in their 20s need safe spaces to tell the truth about what they are going through.
Memorable moments:
Why sharing your story matters for YOU, not just your audience.
How to drop guilt, ask for help, and stop trying to “be the strong one” all the time.
What midlife women can teach younger generations about visibility, confidence, and choice.
How real‑life community, retreats, and podcasts create a safety net for women navigating change.
Listen if you are a woman who looks strong on the outside but is ready to feel seen, supported, and more honest about your own story.

What if your next chapter could bloom bigger than anything you have done before?
In this episode of Women Getting Visible, host Christina Vidovich interviews success growth strategist and former attorney Barb Scala about helping high‑achieving women move from self‑doubt and playing small into unstoppable, visible success. Barb shares how she went from practicing law to creating “Bloom with Barb,” supporting women entrepreneurs, solo business owners, and coaches to step out of invisibility, claim their self‑worth, and grow businesses that reflect their highest level of service.
Together they explore why self‑value is the root of visibility, what happens when you build a career that is not truly yours, and how to “bloom after divorce” and other life transitions. Barb walks through her BLOOM framework—believe, love yourself, own your power, optimize your energy, and manifest—and explains how mindset work, boundaries, and energy management sit alongside branding, niching, and strategy to create sustainable growth. Christina also shares her own niching breakthrough for Women Getting Visible: helping midlife women build confidence and visibility through podcasting, conferences, and community.
Memorable moments:
Why even credentialed, high‑achieving women struggle to launch websites, show up on social, or speak about their offers—and how to move through imposter syndrome.
The difference between “selling” and inviting: reframing your offer as service so visibility feels aligned, not pushy.
Barb’s BLOOM framework for inner and outer success: from believing in your niche and loving yourself to owning your story and optimizing your energy.
How to avoid the “swirl” of overwork and burnout by shifting into low‑energy, high‑impact activities and scheduling real recharge time.
Listen if you are a midlife woman entrepreneur, coach, or solo business owner who is tired of playing small and ready to own your worth, your message, and your visibility.

Midlife is not a time to fade into the background—it is the moment to get visible, on purpose and on your terms.
In this solo episode of Women Getting Visible, founder and host Christina Vidovich shares the deeper “why” behind creating Women Getting Visible, and why visibility is so valuable for midlife women who are ready to stop shrinking and start showing up. Christina talks about helping women become visible through confidence, podcasting, conferences, and community, and why she refuses to see women as dollar signs instead of human beings with stories, needs, and gifts to share.
Christina also explores the tension between social media, real life, and self‑care, and shares what she heard over and over from women: “I don’t know how to get visible—I’ve written a book, started a business, or have a story, but I don’t know how to share it.” She weaves in three powerful examples—Claudette Colvin, Hedy Lamarr, and Malala Yousafzai—to show how women’s contributions have been minimized, erased, or delayed, and what changes when women claim their full story instead of just a role others assign them.
Memorable moments:
Why “too many brilliant, capable, creative women have spent decades playing small, staying silent, or waiting for permission” and why now is different.
How visibility shows up in many forms: getting on podcasts, starting a show, speaking at a conference, joining community, or simply telling one person your real story.
The lessons from Claudette Colvin, Hedy Lamarr, and Malala Yousafzai about courage, recognition, and the cost of silence when women stay invisible.
Why Christina created the Women Getting Visible community, livestream, podcast, and conference as a “tribe space” where women can be seen, supported, and celebrated at every stage of their journey.
Listen if you are a midlife woman who feels the tug that there is more for you—more voice, more stage, more impact—but you are not sure where to start.

What if the hardest parts of your life became the fuel for your purpose?
In this episode of Women Getting Visible, host Christina Vidovich sits down with Maria Leonard Olsen—attorney, podcaster, author of six books (with a seventh on the way), TEDx speaker, journalist, and mentor to women in recovery—to talk about healing, visibility, and turning trauma into a force for good. Maria shares how divorce, sobriety, empty‑nesting at 50, and confronting childhood sexual abuse and rape led her to stop hiding, start speaking, and build a multi‑platform presence that now includes a popular podcast, multiple books, and national TV appearances.
Maria opens up about how processing trauma in rehab helped her stop “holding a beach ball underwater,” why writing and speaking about her story has been deeply healing, and how her book 50 After 50 and TEDx talk created space for other women to say “me too” in their own ways. She also talks about being featured on CBS Sunday Morning for her bucket‑list work, visiting 70+ countries, and using her visibility to advocate for women in midlife, survivors of sexual violence, women in sobriety, and female authors.
Memorable moments:
The moment Maria decided to stop denying her uniqueness as a brown, Filipina‑American girl in a white Catholic school—and how “otherness” shaped her visibility journey.
How writing and speaking about childhood sexual abuse, rape, divorce, and addiction became a path to healing and a lifeline for other women who felt they had to stay silent.
What she’s learned about publishing (traditional, hybrid, self‑publishing), book marketing, and honoring your bandwidth instead of comparing your output to others.
Why collaboration, boundaries, and self‑care (including saying “no” as a complete sentence) are essential to sustainable visibility in midlife and beyond.
How her son Chris Olsen’s journey as a 20M‑follower creator and his collaborations with Meghan Trainor reinforced lessons about resilience, online criticism, and partnership.
Listen if you are a midlife woman carrying visible or invisible trauma who wants to use your story to help others without losing yourself in the process.

Visibility is no longer optional if you want your story to matter—and livestreaming is one of the fastest ways to be seen.
In this episode of Women Getting Visible, host Christina Vidovich sits down with livestream producer and coach Joe Sheppard to unpack the mindset, tech, and tiny brave steps it takes to move from “behind the scenes” to pressing “Go Live.”
Joe shares what he sees working for women who feel invisible but are ready to build confidence on camera, plus why ordinary midlife stories resonate just as much as big, dramatic ones. Together, Christina and Joe talk about using “as was, as is, will be” to frame your journey, how to get off the metaphorical nail when life hurts, and why simply showing up—on your terms—counts as visibility.
Memorable moments
Why livestreaming is a powerful visibility tool for women who have spent years supporting others from the background.
The “as was, as is, will be” framework for telling your story in a way that honors where you’ve been and where you are going.
Joe’s perspective on men “jumping out of the cave” to fix things—and what women actually need when they share their stories.
How to know when you’re lying on a “nail” in life and it is time to move, get support, and become visible for yourself.
Listen if you are a midlife woman who knows there is more to your story than your current job title, and you are curious how livestreaming, podcasting, and community can help you be seen, heard, and supported.

In this Women Getting Visible panel, host Christina Vidovich sits down with Jacqueline Perez: pro‑aging founder of Kuel Life, Totlyn Oliver: author, communications coach, and award‑winning podcast host, and Amy Nubson: business and story coach, to talk about hiding behind roles, careers, and brands.

Memorable moments:
Why so many midlife women build careers “behind the scenes” and what finally pushes them to step forward.
How menopause, accidents, and identity‑shaking life events became catalysts for visibility instead of reasons to shrink.
The difference between explaining your story and powerfully expressing it, and how that shift changes how others receive you.
