What happens when a woman who’s been visible on stage as a dancer and performer for 20 years suddenly feels like a complete stranger in her own body, and realizes that true visibility isn’t just about being seen but about being comfortable with who she has become? In this episode of Women Getting Visible, host Christina Vidovich sits down with Amy Newsom, storytelling mentor, visibility accountability partner, and co‑host of the Visibility Accountability Group with Women Getting Visible, to talk about how courage, clarity, and confidence build the foundation for women who want to speak, podcast, and show up online without freezing up or hiding behind layers of “I’m not ready.”

This episode is for you if you’re a woman founder or leader who already has a “one‑word” year but still feels stuck around visibility, if you’re tired of looping back into the same cycle of self‑doubt and shame and want tools to reframe your story, or if you’re curious about how to use storytelling and vulnerability not as a performance but as a way to actually connect with your people and your purpose. This episode is for you if you’re watching 2025 fade away and wondering whether you really showed up or just showed up online, if you’re drawn to the 2026 Women Getting Visible Conference in Minneapolis focused on courage, clarity, and confidence, or if you’re looking for a place where someone will actually hold you accountable to show up, week after week, instead of letting you disappear back into the edge of the room.

This episode is for you if you’ve ever stood in front of a camera, a mic, or a networking crowd and thought, “I’m not the person I used to be and I’m not sure who this is anymore,” and you’re ready to start treating visibility as a practice like a sport you get rusty at when you stop, not as a magic trick that has to be perfect the first time.

Memorable moments

– ✨ The moment Amy describes how visibility and shame are locked together, and how simply sharing her story with open‑minded people rewired the way she carried that shame in her own body.

– ✨ When she reveals that her long‑term “three‑C” framework courage, clarity, and confidence predates the current AI‑prompted buzzwords, and how she spent three years earning that clarity for herself before bringing it to the Minneapolis conference.

– ✨ Her story of using weight as a way to hide from visibility, only to realize that people were noticing her anyway, and how that awareness became one of the first cracks in her own cycle of avoidance.

– ✨ The image of the teenage pimple on the nose: how most of the room is staring at their own “pimples” and barely noticing yours, and why that perspective is key to stepping into the visible, uncomfortable spotlight.

– ✨ The open‑mic mentality at the Women Getting Visible Conference: that women are invited to test a 10‑minute story, business pitch, or lived‑lesson on stage, knowing they’ll be celebrated, encouraged, and gently coached instead of judged as “not ready yet.”

What happens when a woman who’s already running a business, a family, and a self‑care practice suddenly realizes that AI isn’t some futuristic threat but a practical tool to help her survive and thrive in the chaos of 2025 and beyond? In this episode of Women Getting Visible, host Christina Vidovich sits down with L‑Marie, strategic AI business architect, certified AI prompt engineer, AI systems consultant, and founder of Biz Oasis, to talk about how women founders and leaders can use AI ethically, efficiently, and confidently to streamline operations, automate the tedious, and reclaim their time and energy.

L‑Marie shares how she moved from 25+ years in telecom and technical systems into AI prompting, agent building, and AI‑cloning, launching her own AI‑enabled services while also hosting the fifth annual “Boss Brunch” in Maryland with the theme “Survive and Thrive” for business owners navigating economic and systemic chaos. She walks through real‑world examples: how she clones her own image and voice, how she builds AI agents that answer calls, book appointments, and handle basic client inquiries (like a law firm that runs her business while she’s back at a federal job), and how simple tools like Canva, Hagen, and 11 Labs can be taught to work like a paid assistant if you learn how to prompt them well. This episode is for you if you’re a woman founder or solopreneur who feels like you’re constantly putting out fires and drowning in admin, if you’re a leader rebuilding your visibility in 2026 and want to leverage AI without losing your humanity, or if you’re curious about where to start with AI but feel intimidated by the jargon and the fear of “replacing” humans.

This episode is for you if you’re watching grocery prices soar while your workload climbs, if you’re already familiar with “Chaotic year” energy and need systems that actually calm it, or if you’re ready to upgrade from the free‑tier tools and DIY trial‑and‑error to a clear, intentional AI‑strategy that supports your visibility and impact instead of stealing your focus.

Memorable moments

– ✨ The moment L‑Marie explains that “AI” has been with us for decades calculators, grocery scanners, touch‑screen ordering and that today’s AI is really “on steroids,” not something entirely new.

– ✨ Her story of building a New York‑accented AI agent for a client’s law firm so calls are answered by a voice that feels like her, while the client gracefully returns to federal work and still keeps her business alive.

– ✨ The “coffee at Starbucks” analogy: showing how every button we press on a machine is a basic prompt, and connecting that to the prompts she teaches others to craft for tools like Hagen, Canva, and 11 Labs.

– ✨ Her “don’t be afraid of the plane” advice: comparing AI fear to fear of flying, and encouraging women to treat AI tools like short test flights try a few, refine, then double down on the ones that actually serve you.

– ✨ How she links her book From Chaos to Calm with her AI work, showing that whether you use AI or not, strategic systems and well‑designed customer‑experience frameworks are what actually reduce stress and keep clients happy.

Episode 24 – Christina Vidovich & L‑Marie

What happens when a woman sits in the heavy silence of grief, stops singing, stops dancing, and then decides that her body, her art, and her music are the only way back to herself? In this episode of Women Getting Visible, host Christina Vidovich sits down with Miriam Chemmoss, a multidisciplinary artist and dance‑filled creative force who brings music, movement, and storytelling into every room she enters, to talk about how visibility, creativity, and healing are woven together when you allow yourself to feel, move, and create again.

You’ll hear how Miriam used Congolese dance and instrumental music as a daily medicine after losing her mother, turning her own “downward loop” of depression into hours of movement that slowly released layer after layer of pain and revealed a new version of herself underneath. She shares how she discovered her own 11–14% Congolese DNA shortly after her mother passed, and how that felt like a confirmation that the music she’d always gravitated toward was actually encoded in her body, waiting to be activated. You’ll also hear about her training with legendary Congolese musicians in New York, how she learned to sing and dance in languages she didn’t fully understand, and how the polyrhythmic complexity of African music taught her to let go of rigid structure and trust her own flow.

You’ll also hear how she built her own “dance therapy” approach through obsessive studio work—planning hours, studying old videos, and layering technique with inspiration—until within six months she felt like a different person and began getting invited to workshops and events she’d never imagined. She talks openly about how she juggles singing, dancing, acting, writing, and being a parent and business owner, and how she’s learned to read her own “downloads”: when music demands the night, when writing wakes her at 3 a.m., and when shows need three months of disciplined rehearsal. She also reflects on how her military‑brat upbringing shaped her need for structure, even as it sometimes pushes her toward rigidity, and how she’s learned to soften into creativity without losing her focus.

This episode is for you if…

…you’re a woman founder, artist, or creator who’s put your art on hold while you “deal with life,”
…you’ve felt stuck in grief, numbness, or depression and wonder if your body and your creativity hold the key to moving through it,
…and you’re ready to stop choosing between “normal life” and visibility, and start seeing how music, movement, and honest expression are your natural superpowers.

Memorable moments

– ✨ The moment she realized her depression had completely shut down her singing, dancing, and performing, and how a friend’s simple question—“Why did you stop creating?”—woke her up to the fact that her art was her medicine, not just her hobby.

– ✨ The image of her daily grind as a 24‑year‑old commuting from Manhattan to Staten Island, then taking a bus, a cab, and a walk up a hill to rehearse for hours with legendary Congolese musicians who breathed music from sunrise to sunset and taught her the discipline behind joy.

– ✨ The way she created her own “dance therapy” routine—practicing at home, watching old videos, then carving out specific studio blocks for recording—until she realized she’d been healing herself in front of a camera for weeks, accumulating hours of unshared footage from a time when she felt unrecognizable on the inside.
