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 flat
The patterns I kept seeing in how people respond to being visible
What’s really going on beneath the surface when visibility feels hard
The four visibility archetypes and the hidden blocks that come with each one
How this all links back to my SEEN framework and showing up in a way that feels sustainable

Most 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.
