How to Break the Vicious Visibility Cycle in Your Creative Business with Maddie Peschong

It’s time to break the vicious visibility cycle. You know the one, where you disappear for weeks, then expect everything to fall back into place on social media. In this episode, Maddie Peschong joins us to dive deep into what visibility really means (and why it matters more than you think).

We talk about what happens when you drop off the map, the lag‑effect of silence, and how even if you’re visible, your strategy might still be sabotaging you. Maddie and I share concrete ways to stay on people’s radars without feeling like you’re running a 24/7 show.
