Lynya Floyd: The Courage to Be Center Stage

Send us a text

What happens when the person who's spent decades getting everyone else ready for the spotlight finally steps into it herself?

In this powerful and tender conversation, we sit down with journalist, bestselling ghostwriter, and media coach Linya Floyd—who’s spent decades helping other people shine—to talk about what happens when it’s finally your turn to take the stage.

From a behind-the-scenes media career to a long-delayed pitch that changed everything, Linya shares her story of becoming visible in a whole new way—while caregiving, grieving, growing, and learning to tell the truth about who she is and what she wants. She reflects on the evolution from performance to presence, the quiet fear of being truly seen, and the sacred space required to let our stories come alive.

TOPICS WE EXPLORE:

• What it really means to be seen
• Performance identity vs. true presence
• Visibility fears (and what we’re actually afraid of)
• Why your story matters more than you think
• The courage to stop hiding (even behind success)
• Vulnerability as a gateway to connection
• The slow, sacred timing of creative becoming
• Support vs. self-sufficiency: why you don’t need to do it alone
• The 5-second rule that changes everything
