From Stuck to Seen: Mindset Shifts for Women Entrepreneurs

With Tracey Sundkvist, Business Coach + Consultant

What if visibility in your business isn’t about being louder, but being more aligned?

So often, women entrepreneurs pour time and energy into strategies that look good on the outside, but don’t reflect who they truly are inside. The result? Burnout, doubt, and a business that feels more like a burden than a calling.

In this episode of Visibility Strategies for Women Entrepreneurs, I sat down with coach and consultant Tracey Sundkvist to talk about the internal shifts that actually create external impact. From perfectionism and pricing fear to burnout and boundary-setting, Tracey shares what’s keeping women from being seen—and how to change that from the inside out.

Why Visibility Starts With You

[01:18]

Tracey opens the conversation with a truth bomb: If you want your business to grow, it has to start with you. Visibility isn’t just about marketing, it’s about mindset. And for many women, internal beliefs around self-worth, performance pressure, and comparison keep us from fully stepping into the spotlight.

“You’re either going to promote your growth or get in your own way,” says Tracey.

The Two Mindset Blocks That Keep Women Playing Small

[03:00]

According to Tracey, the two most common mindset traps are:

1. The pressure to perform, especially in male-dominated spaces.

2. The discomfort of charging your worth.

We tend to undervalue our expertise, especially when transitioning from corporate careers into entrepreneurship. Tracey’s advice? “Start big. Your experience already has value—own it from the beginning.”

Becoming the Best Version of Yourself

Tracey shares how coaching helps close the gap between how you’re showing up and how you want to lead. That growth requires being open to conflicting ideas and uncomfortable truths—and using them to expand your perspective.

💡 Stay curious. Stay coachable. That’s how you accelerate transformation.

Burnout, Boundaries & Business Alignment

[13:00]

Burnout doesn’t just come from overworking—it comes from misalignment. If what you’re doing doesn’t feel meaningful, sustainable, or energizing, burnout is inevitable.

Tracey encourages women to reconnect with the why behind their business and align that with their personal values. “The closer those two are, the less likely you are to burn out.”

The 5 Cardinal Sins That Sabotage Entrepreneurs

[17:03]

Tracey reveals the five common mistakes she sees entrepreneurs make:

1. No clear vision

2. Lack of tracking & metrics

3. Neglecting visibility strategy

4. Building in isolation

5. Taking business too seriously (aka losing the joy)

She offers practical ways to course-correct—like reviewing your numbers regularly, getting support, and using humor to keep things in perspective.

Feeling Invisible? Here's Where to Start

[24:00]

If you’re feeling unseen in your business, don’t just ask how to be visible. Ask: “What does visibility look like for me?

"Tracey says to define it with real metrics (audience size, engagement, referrals, etc.) and then ask if your message and presence are truly aligned with the audience you want to attract.

“You have to stop thinking you’re not valuable,” she says. “Visibility starts with believing you are.”
