*What does it actually mean for women to be seen—and who benefits when they are?*

In this episode of Roar, host Danielle Davies sits down with Cheldin Barlatt Rumer—founder and CEO of THIS IS IT NETWORK™, media executive, keynote speaker, and unapologetic champion for women who are done waiting for permission.

Cheldin has spent more than two decades building platforms that amplify women’s voices, stories, and leadership—from national media to global stages. Through THIS IS IT NETWORK™, she has created an ecosystem that connects women founders, creatives, executives, and change-makers to visibility, opportunity, and each other.

In this conversation, Cheldin speaks candidly about what visibility really costs, why women are so often taught to shrink, and how owning your voice is both a personal and political act. She shares the origin story of THIS IS IT NETWORK™, the lessons she’s learned as a woman leading in media and entrepreneurship, and why community—not perfection—is the real catalyst for impact.

This episode is a rally cry for women who know they have something to say—and are ready to stop whispering it.

*Together, Danielle and Cheldin talk about*
🔥 Why visibility is a skill—and a responsibility
🎤 What women get wrong about “putting themselves out there”
🧠 How imposter syndrome shows up at every level (and why it never fully disappears)
📺 The creation of THIS IS IT NETWORK™ and the gap it was built to fill
🫶 Why women don’t need more motivation—they need infrastructure and access
📣 How media can be used as a tool for advocacy, not just exposure
💥 What it means to lead loudly without apology
🌱 Why community is the antidote to burnout, isolation, and self-doubt
👑 The difference between being visible and being valued
⚡ Why waiting to feel “ready” keeps women stuck

Cheldin’s work reminds us that confidence is not a prerequisite for leadership—it’s a byproduct of action. This conversation is for anyone who has ever minimized their voice, questioned their worth, or waited for someone else to open the door.

You don’t need permission.

*You need a platform—and the courage to stand on it.*

🔑 *Key Takeaways*
Visibility is not vanity—it’s power.
You don’t overcome imposter syndrome; you outgrow it through action.
Women don’t lack ambition—they lack access and amplification.
Community accelerates courage.
Leadership doesn’t require perfection, polish, or permission.
Your voice matters because of who you are, not in spite of it.
