The Fear of Being Seen: Acne, Insecurity & Finding Skin Confidence

In this episode, I’m opening up about something that shaped so much of my life: the fear of being seen. From being bullied at school for my acne, to hiding from photos for years, to recently facing my insecurities during my book photoshoot and press interviews — it’s been a journey. Here’s what I’ve learned: confidence isn’t about never feeling insecure again. It’s about what you do in those moments of doubt. I’ll share the nervous system tools that have helped me regulate and show up anyway — EFT tapping, grounding, breathwork, and visualisation. If you’ve ever felt like you had to hide because of your skin, I hope this episode makes you feel less alone. ✨ Unmasking Acne — my debut book — launches this week. It’s the book I wish I had during those years of hiding, and I wrote it to help you clear your skin holistically and feel confident again. → Grab your copy here: www.tabithaisobel.com/acne-book
