Showing Up with Vicki Knights

This is my final episode before I take a planned 2 month break from the podcast and social media.And it felt important to leave you with something that’s been on my mind a lot recently…Because after lots of conversations about visibility - at events, with clients, and behind the scenes — I started noticing a pattern.Something we don’t talk about enough. The part of showing up that no one really sees.In this episode, I share:why visibility can feel harder than it lookswhat might be missing when it feels like no one’s respondingand the one shift that could completely change how showing up feelsThere’s also something I’ve been reflecting on about comparison… and how easy it is to misunderstand what’s really going on behind someone else’s success.Before I take this break, this is the reminder I want to leave you with.A small invitation.... if someone came to mind while listening to this episode…Send them a message. Tell them what you appreciate about how they show up.You never know the impact that might have.👀 Coming soonWhen I return, I’ll be sharing something new to help you feel braver and more confident in how you show up.Connect with Vicki:Take the visibility archetype quizFollow me on Instagram: @iamvickiknightsCheck out my websiteReady to work together?Book a branding photo shoot with meFind out about my visibility coachingFind out more about The Visibility Retreat Grab The Confidence Toolkit for just £15Get my self-paced course, UNCOVER YOUR MAGIC (Use the code SHOWING UP for 10% off)

Consistency is one of those things we hear about all the time in business.But what does that actually look like in real life… and does it have to mean showing up every single day?In this episode, I’m joined by business coach Joanna Lott, who is known for her refreshingly honest approach to helping coaches get clients without hype.Jo is also the host of the top 2% globally ranked podcast Women in the Coaching Arena, and has built a business rooted in integrity, strategy, and consistency.Jo is incredibly consistent with her marketing. She shows up every single day and releases a podcast episode every week. I wanted to find out how she manages to do this around her business, her family and her life.This episode isn’t about telling you to post every day.It’s about understanding what consistency looks like, what it really takes, and how to make it work for you.In this episode, we cover:How Jo became known for her consistency - and what’s really behind itOne thing Jo does to make her content feel easier and more authenticThe mindset shifts that helped her go from avoiding visibility to embracing itWhy even experienced coaches need support when it comes to showing upHow your business model should shape your visibility strategyMentioned in this episode:-Episode 36: How visible do you really need to be in your business?-Episode 25: Why staying consistently visible feels so hardJoanna Lott's websiteGrab Jo's free 2026 digital Coaches planner Connect with Vicki:Take the visibility archetype quizFollow me on Instagram: @iamvickiknightsCheck out my websiteReady to work together?Book a branding photo shoot with meFind out about my visibility coachingFind out more about The Visibility Retreat Grab The Confidence Toolkit for just £15Get my self-paced course, UNCOVER YOUR MAGIC (Use the code SHOWING UP for 10% off)

Some days you want to launch a podcast, pitch a TED talk and write a book. Other days you just want to stay in your comfies and hide from the world.If you've ever had one of those days, or weeks, this episode is for you.Because not feeling like showing up doesn't make you lazy, unmotivated or bad at running a business. It makes you human. And there's a difference between genuinely needing to rest and letting self-doubt quietly talk you out of something that could actually make you feel better.In this episode, I'm sharing what I actually do on those days when the inspiration just isn't there - and the mindset shift that changes everything for me when I'm feeling resistant.In this episode I talk about:Why the world needs to hear from kindhearted, thoughtful business owners right now more than everThree practical strategies for those days when you're just not feeling itWhy batching doesn't mean what most people think it means - and how to do it in a way that actually suits how you're wiredThe reframe that shifts visibility from feeling like a chore to feeling like a privilegeThis isn't about pushing through and white-knuckling your way to consistency. It's about building a relationship with visibility that feels sustainable, joyful and true to you, even on the hard days.Want to go deeper?Episode 36 - How Visible Do You Actually Need To Be? -is the perfect companion listen.Connect with Vicki:Take the visibility archetype quizFollow me on Instagram: @iamvickiknightsCheck out my websiteReady to work together?Book a branding photo shoot with meFind out about my visibility coachingFind out more about The Visibility Retreat Grab The Confidence Toolkit for just £15Get my self-paced course, UNCOVER YOUR MAGIC (Use the code SHOWING UP for 10% off)

In this episode I’m joined by founder of Bright Sky HR and host of podcast HR Coffee Time, Fay Wallis and we’re talking about what happens when you turn your expertise into something tangible.Fay is the creator of the Essential HR Planner, a beautifully designed physical planner that has become widely recognised in her industry. She now sells over 1,000 copies a year. But this conversation is not about glossy success stories.It’s about what it really takes to build something physical in a digital world.We talk about the emotional ups and downs, the stress, the learning curves, the evolution year by year and why creating a tangible product can position you in a way that content alone sometimes cannot.If you’ve ever thought about writing a book, creating a planner, launching a journal or packaging your expertise into something people can actually hold in their hands, this episode will give you a grounded and honest perspective.We talk about: How Fay went from a simple 19-page PDF to a nationally recognised hardback plannerThe difference between revenue and authority when it comes to tangible productsWhy physical products can build trust and credibility in a powerful wayThe emotional reality of launching something annuallyHow a product can quietly become the thing you’re known forThis conversation is a reminder that visibility isn’t always about being louder online. Sometimes it’s about building something meaningful and letting that speak for you.Connect with Fay: LinkedIn Bright Sky HR website Essential HR PlannerConnect with Vicki:Take the visibility archetype quizFollow me on Instagram: @iamvickiknightsCheck out my websiteReady to work together?Book a branding photo shoot with meFind out about my visibility coachingFind out more about The Visibility Retreat Grab The Confidence Toolkit for just £15Get my self-paced course, UNCOVER YOUR MAGIC (Use the code SHOWING UP for 10% off)

Visibility isn’t one-size-fits-all, even though the internet often makes it sound like it is.In this episode of Showing Up, I’m unpacking the four different Visibility Archetypes and why understanding yours can completely change the way you show up in your business.After working with thousands of business owners through photography, coaching, retreats and masterminds, I kept noticing the same thing: two people could follow the exact same visibility advice and have wildly different experiences. One would feel confident, grounded and aligned. The other would feel exposed, awkward or like they were performing.That difference isn’t about willpower, confidence or knowing how to “do” social media properly.It’s about how you’re wired to show up.In this episode, I talk about:Why generic visibility advice so often falls flatThe patterns I kept seeing in how people respond to being visibleWhat’s really going on beneath the surface when visibility feels hardThe four visibility archetypes and the hidden blocks that come with each oneHow this all links back to my SEEN framework and showing up in a way that feels sustainableMost people don’t sit neatly in just one archetype. We move between them depending on the season we’re in, our confidence levels and what’s going on in our lives.The real value isn’t in labelling yourself, but in understanding which pattern is driving your decisions right now, and what that means for your consistency, confidence and clarity.If visibility has ever felt exhausting, confusing or like you’re doing all the “right” things but still not getting the results you want, this episode will help you see why.Take the Visibility QuizConnect with Vicki:Follow me on Instagram: @iamvickiknightsCheck out my websiteReady to work together?Book a branding photo shoot with meFind out about my visibility coachingFind out more about The Visibility Retreat Grab The Confidence Toolkit for just £15Get my self-paced course, UNCOVER YOUR MAGIC (Use the code SHOWING UP for 10% off)
