Stop Caring What People Think or You’ll Never Survive Being Seen

Public exposure sounds exciting until you live inside it. Years of live television forced Kristen Crowley into visibility before she was ready, stripping away approval, confidence, and privacy. What followed wasn’t polish. It was survival. This conversation explores what public pressure does to identity, why most people break under scrutiny, and how repeated exposure reshapes who you become. If you’re building something publicly, whether in entrepreneurship, leadership, or creative work, this episode confronts the psychological cost no one prepares you for. Halfway through, Crowley explains the exact moment she stopped caring what people thought, and why everything changed after that.
