In this New Year episode of The Vignette Effect, Raquel explores the powerful intersection of visibility, misperception, and showing up as your whole self in business and life. Reflecting on the quiet, grounding space she took at the end of the year, she shares how stepping back helped clarify what she wants 2026 to look like: elevated visibility rooted in authenticity, humanity, and creative leadership. Raquel opens up about why visibility can feel scary—not because of being seen, but because of being misunderstood—and how she’s reframing that fear as a necessary part of being visible. She talks about intuition, connection, and why the magic of who you are belongs inside your brand, whether you’re the face of it or not. If you’re feeling the pull to be more fully seen this year, this is the episode that will give you both perspective and permission.
In this episode, Raquel kicks off 2026 with an honest conversation about visibility, misperception, and the courage to show up fully as yourself in your brand and creative work.
She shares:
One of the core messages of this episode:
You, as a person, have something to offer the creative direction and message of your brand that’s going to make building that vision simpler and more likely to attract the right people, whether you’re actually the face of the brand or not.
