  What 1000 Rides on My Peloton Bike Taught Me About Visibility

  Aug 17, 202620 min

  Starting something is often the easy bit. You launch the podcast, start the newsletter, decide you’re finally going to show up consistently on Instagram… and at first, it all feels exciting. But what happens when the novelty wears off? In this short solo episode, I’m sharing what more than 1,000 rides on my Peloton bike have unexpectedly taught me about visibility, consistency and why some habits stick while others quietly disappear. We talk about why commitment matters, how to make showing up feel less like a huge job hanging over you, and why visibility gets so much easier when it simply becomes part of how you run your business. If you’ve ever started a new visibility habit full of enthusiasm and then found yourself wondering why you stopped, this episode is for you. In this episode, we talk about: Why starting is often the easiest part The difference between consistency and repetition How to make visibility feel easier and more sustainable Why your visibility strategy should be allowed to evolve What exercise and visibility have surprisingly in common Find out more about The Visibility Workshop on 8th October in Farnham, Surrey Join the Brave waitilist - running again in October 2026 Connect with Vicki: Take the visibility archetype quiz Follow me on Instagram : @iamvickiknights Check out my website Ready to work together?

  61. When Visibility Feels Like a Personal Failing

  Jul 13, 202616 min

  Why does something as simple as posting online, sending an email or sharing your work sometimes feel so much bigger than it should? In this solo episode, I’m sharing what I witnessed inside the first round of Brave, my two-week visibility experience, and the powerful pattern I noticed across more than 70 business owners. So many people arrived feeling like they were the problem. Like they were overthinking again, procrastinating again, getting in their own way again, or somehow failing at visibility because it didn’t feel easy. But what if visibility feeling hard doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you? In this episode, I talk about the mental load that can build around even the smallest visibility actions, why we so often turn that struggle into a personal failing. I share the two things I noticed that seemed to help people move from circling around the thing to finally taking action - and why one of them surprised me more than I expected. If you’ve ever had a post sitting in drafts, an email you keep putting off, an offer you haven’t shared, or a story you know you want to tell but can’t quite bring yourself to say out loud, this episode is for you. Because maybe the question isn’t, “What’s wrong with me?” Maybe there’s a much more useful place to start. Listen to this episode if: You’ve ever felt like visibility should be easier than it is. You find yourself circling around simple actions for far longer than the action itself would take. You’re tired of calling yourself inconsistent, flaky or your own worst enemy. You’ve been doing lots of inner work, but still feel stuck when it comes to showing up. You want a kinder, more useful way to understand why visibility can feel so exposing.

  60. The Hidden Cost of Being the “Good Girl” in Business with Nicky Denson-Elliott

  Jun 24, 202645 min

  In this episode, I’m joined by the brilliant Nicky Denson-Elliott, professional feminist, community builder, writer, podcaster and founder of The Wilder Collective and Wilder Live. Nicky’s work sits at the intersection of feminism, creativity, and business – and it helps women turn intention into momentum and ambition into action. In this conversation, we talk about Nicky's research project that she undertook last year called “Good Girl Economics” and how the pressure to be liked, fair, reasonable and not “too much” can shape the way women show up in business. We explore why visibility can feel risky, why undercharging is often about so much more than confidence and how internalised misogyny can show up in the way we judge ourselves and other women. This is such a powerful, thought-provoking conversation about pricing, visibility, people-pleasing and the hidden cost of trying to be the “good girl” in business. In this episode, we talk about: Why women often undercharge and overdeliver The connection between pricing, visibility and people-pleasing Why being visible can feel unsafe How internalised misogyny can show up in business What it really means to support other women And why being “full of yourself” might actually be something to celebrate Connect with Nicky: Instagram: @nickydensonelliott The Wilder Collective website Podcast: Women’s Business with Nicky Denson Elliott Connect with Vicki: Take the visibility archetype quiz Follow me on Instagram : @iamvickiknights Check out my website Ready to work together?

  59. You’re Not Scared of Showing Up. You’re Scared of What It Says About You.

  Jun 9, 202610 min

  Most business owners assume they need to feel more confident before they can become more visible. But what if confidence isn’t really the problem? In this solo episode, I explore what may actually be sitting underneath your reluctance to share your opinions, speak on camera, pitch yourself for opportunities or step into the spotlight. Because you might feel completely confident in the work you do, while still worrying about what showing up will make other people think about you. Will they think you’re arrogant? That you’re showing off? That you’ve got too big for your boots? I share how our past experiences can quietly teach us that being visible, loud or “too much” isn’t safe, and how our brains create clever protective patterns to help us avoid judgement. We’ll look at why perfectionism, endless preparation, waiting for the right time and championing everyone except yourself may not be character flaws at all. They may simply be ways of protecting yourself from being truly seen. This is exactly the kind of work we’ll explore inside Brave , my new 2 week audio experience for business owners who want to understand what’s really holding them back from showing up. Rather than forcing yourself through another exhausting visibility challenge, you’ll receive a short, powerful audio each day, grounded in evidence-based positive psychology and designed to fit easily around your life. Brave begins on 22 June 2026 and this is the lowest price it will ever be. Find out more and join us here.
