The Visible(ish) Podcast
For the brilliantly messy humans ready to show up as themselves!
Tired of the "post every day, be everywhere, hustle harder" visibility advice?
SAME.
This is where we get real about what it actually takes to show up in business when visibility feels stretchy, imperfect or just plain hard.
No filtered perfection here. Just honest conversations about building sustainable visibility that works with your brain, your energy, and your beautifully chaotic life.
Whether you're a seasoned business owner who's been hiding behind the scenes, someone managing ADHD or fluctuating energy or you're just bloody tired of feeling like you should be doing visibility differently, this podcast is for you.
Join photographer, video producer, visibility coach and fellow recovering perfectionist, Melissa Howard, as she shares the messy behind-the-scenes reality of building authentic business visibility.
From mindset wobbles to technical tips, boundary-setting to body acceptance; we're covering it all with zero fluff and maximum realness.
Because your weirdness IS your wonderful. And the world needs more you, not more perfect.
New episodes weekly. Bring coffee, leave the "shoulds" at the door.
