34. Making Bold Business Shifts and Fully Showing Up with Kelly Pietrangeli
00:46:01
In this inspiring episode, I’m joined by Kelly Pietrangeli - soul mentor, retreat leader and podcast host. Kelly and I first met many years ago in the early days of our businesses, and it’s been such a joy to witness her journey, especially as she’s recently made a bold shift in her work.
Kelly shares how she pivoted from running a very practical business helping busy mothers to organize their lives, to stepping fully into a more spiritual path - or as she calls it, coming out of the "woo woo closet."
We talk about how scary it can feel to shift your business when you’ve built up a strong following and reputation, and how Kelly navigated this transition in an authentic and courageous way.
We also dive into:
Why Kelly found it easier to share vulnerable stories through her podcast
The mindset shifts Kelly had to make to fully embrace her new direction
The power of visibility and what it has done for Kelly's business and confidence
How Kelly overcame fears of judgment, including from people close to her
Towards the end of the episode, Kelly reflects on her time in my group visibility mastermind, SEEN, which I run once a year for a small group of just 5 business owners. I’ll be opening the doors again in September. If you’d like to be the first to hear when it opens, join the waitlist at vickiknights.co.uk/mastermind.

17. Why I'm launching a visibility group mastermind
00:21:33
Today, I’m pulling back the curtain on a new and exciting venture in my business - my group mastermind called Seen. I always love getting a peek behind the scenes of how other business owners decide on their offerings, so I thought I'd share my thought process with you!
I’m sharing why I created Seen The Mastermind, what makes it different from just another group programme, and how it’s designed to support ambitious business owners like you who want to amplify their impact and show up as joyful leaders in your industry.
Key Takeaways:
- The Power of Group Settings: After years of running visibility retreats and 1:1 coaching, I’ve seen how transformational group settings can be. In this episode, I discuss why I decided to create Seen and how it offers a unique space for business owners to be truly seen and supported.
- My 3-Part Visibility Framework: I explain the three parts of my visibility framework and how this forms the foundation of all my offerings, including Seen, and are designed to help you show up confidently in your business.
- Why Seen is Different: Unlike many programs that overwhelm you with information, Seen is about stripping away the noise and focusing on what truly matters: connection, support, and taking brave, aligned action. It’s a small, intimate mastermind where you’ll get personalised attention and build deep connections with like-minded business owners.
- Why Now?: I share why now is the right time to launch this mastermind and how it aligns with my mission to help you be seen for who you truly are.

27. Are You Truly Showing Up Authentically In Your Business?
00:34:08
Authenticity - it’s a word we hear everywhere, but what does it really mean for us as business owners?
In this episode, I’m diving deep into the layers of authenticity and exploring how it shapes not only the way we show up in our businesses but also how we connect with ourselves and others.
From the pressures of social media to the layers of personal branding, I challenge the oversimplified advice of "just be yourself" and offer a more practical, nuanced take on showing up in ways that align with your core values and your personality.
I also share some insights from my Positive Psychology studies, including the fascinating "Three Selves" framework from Ritu Bhasin, and a vulnerable story about my own journey with authenticity.
This isn’t just about business - it’s about finding a balance between being real and being strategic, setting boundaries, and embracing the parts of yourself that matter most.
In this episode, I’ll talk about:
Why "just be yourself" isn’t always helpful advice.
The fine line between adapting and performing.
How authenticity impacts everything from your mindset to your marketing.
A practical framework to help you navigate authenticity in your life and work.
Why being authentic doesn’t mean oversharing every detail of your life.
Plus: Stick around until the end to hear me reflect on my first year of podcasting - the highs, the challenges, and my big, audacious goals for the future.
