The 'Showing Up with Vicki Knights' podcast is for purpose-led business owners who want to show up with joyful confidence.
In this top-rated podcast, we unwrap the layers of getting visible and building a truly personal brand while staying completely and utterly you.
Are you tired of being told you need to post more, shout louder or be someone you're not? Me too. That's why this podcast is about unlearning the noisy advice and finding your own way of being seen - one that feels joyful and true to you.
In each episode, I'll share honest insights and strategies to help you build your personal brand and show up in your business even when self-doubt or comparison creep in. You'll also hear powerful conversations with inspiring guests who will be sharing how they learnt to show up with joy.
I'm Vicki Knights - a Visibility Strategist, a Positive Psychology Practitioner and one of the UK's leading Brand Photographers - with over 20 years of branding and marketing experience and on a mission to help business owners to be seen (without burning out or pretending to be someone they're not).

66. What I've Learnt About Confidence, Visibility and Being Yourself
Why does putting ourselves out there in business sometimes feel so uncomfortable? And is it possible to make showing up feel easier and maybe even enjoyable?
This week I'm doing something a little different.
I'm sharing a conversation I had with the wonderful Jo Ferrone on her podcast, How DOES She Do It?!, where I was on the other side of the microphone.
We talk about some of the experiences that can shape our confidence, why so many women find visibility difficult and how we can start to feel more comfortable being seen and heard.
I also share a little more about my own journey, from working in advertising to becoming a branding photographer and visibility strategist, and why positive psychology is such an important part of the work I do today.
It's a lovely conversation, and I hope it gives you a few things to think about when it comes to your own visibility.
In this episode, we chat about:
How experiences from our younger years can affect the way we show up as adults.
Why confidence isn't something we need to have before putting ourselves out there.
The problem with following someone else's visibility strategy.
Why understanding your strengths, values and personality is so important when building your personal brand.
How small, courageous steps can help you feel more comfortable being visible.
The unexpected connections and opportunities that can come from showing up.

65. When visibility starts to feel lonely
In this short solo episode, I share what I’ve been thinking about ever since I got back from running my Visibility Retreat a couple of weeks ago.
On the first day, quite a few of the women arrived feeling exhausted and overwhelmed. They were doing all the things they thought they should be doing to grow their businesses, but it all just felt like… a lot.
And over the three days, I noticed something shift.
It made me realise there’s a part of visibility that we don’t talk about enough - and it might be the very thing that’s missing if showing up online is starting to feel exhausting, lonely or like you’re constantly shouting into the void.
I share what I noticed at the retreat, what it made me realise about my own visibility, and the question I think is worth asking yourself if you’re creating content consistently but wondering whether any of it is actually moving the needle.
I also share a little update about the podcast and why you’ll be hearing more short solo episodes from me over the coming months.
If showing up has been feeling heavier than usual lately, this one’s for you.

64. Why People Aren’t Paying as Much Attention to You as You Think
Do you ever feel like everyone is watching when you show up in your business?
That people are noticing what you post, judging what you say, or remembering that thing you shared six months ago?
The good news is: they probably aren't taking anywhere near as much notice of you as you think they are.
In this short solo episode, I’m talking about the psychology behind why visibility can sometimes feel so exposing - and why understanding what’s actually going on in our brains can make showing up feel a whole lot easier.
I talk about:
The spotlight effect and what it means for your visibility
Why we assume people are paying far more attention to us than they really are
Why your awkwardness probably isn't as obvious as you think
Why we can end up rejecting ourselves before anyone else gets the chance
A simple reframe to remember the next time you’re worrying what people will think
Plus, I share a little about Brave, my two-week online visibility experience, which is returning in October. Join the waitlist here. (https://vickiknights.co.uk/brave)
