From Headshots to Healing: How Rising Phoenix Portraits Help Betsy Rewire Her Confidence. Betsy Comeau came to FIORIA as one of Liberty Mutual’s President's Award winners, having earned national recognition for her leadership, positivity, and impact. But what surprised her most wasn’t just the branding portraits we created—it was how they made her feel.

In the middle of reviewing all her powerful portraits, Betsy said something that stopped us in our tracks:

“When I look at this one, I feel her joy. I need to see her every day. I want to start my workday with her energy—because that’s ME.”

What started as a Branding Experience became something deeper—a Rising Phoenix Experience.

Because after all the hard work and recognition… imposter syndrome can still creep in.

“Most of the day, that imposter voice creeps in. But this—this joy—it shuts that voice up. It reminds me that I’m capable. That I do deserve to be here.”

Her Rising Phoenix portraits are displayed where she sees them every morning in her home office. She is greeted by her radiant confidence, joy, and light. Not to impress others—but to remind herself of who she truly is every. single. day.

What Betsy Sees Rising

When we asked Betsy what qualities she sees rising in herself, she lit up with honesty and warmth.
She’s the kind of woman who shows up fully for others—listens deeply, celebrates generously, and leads with light. But she confessed how easy it is to forget those qualities when self-doubt tries to rewrite the story.

So we helped anchor them. It’s the neuroscience-backed process behind every Rising Phoenix portrait that rewires how you see yourself…

Her joyful, glass-half-full personality that brings levity to even the hardest moments
Her fierce loyalty and empathy—the kind that makes her friends feel truly seen
Her transparency—never pretending to have it all together, but always lifting others up anyway
Her adventurous, playful spirit—the kind that plans epic surprises (like a birthday trip to see New Kids on the Block!)
And most of all… her resilience—the quiet kind that doesn’t shout, but shows up every day

Betsy’s voice caught when she saw the portrait that captured it all.

“She’s happy, positive, confident. That’s who I am. And now, I get to be influenced by her every morning.”

What Others See in Betsy

When we called Betsy’s sister, Farrah, she didn’t hesitate:

“She’s a leader. She has incredible energy. She radiates light that uplifts and heals everyone around her.”

Farrah described her sister as a badass—the kind who’s so chill and humble, she forgets just how powerful she really is.

“I don’t think she knows her full worth yet,” Farrah said. “But she should. Because we all do.”

Coworkers echoed the same sentiment. Michelle shared,

“Betsy always has a smile on her face. Even when she’s going through something difficult, you’d never know it. She’s that strong—and that caring.”

Ashley described Betsy’s motivating energy as her superpower.

“She has a way of making you feel like you can’t give up—not even for a minute. She’ll say something, and you just move. She makes it impossible to stay stuck.”

And when asked what they hoped her portraits would say to her?

“That she’s a light. A ray of sunshine. And that her presence changes the atmosphere wherever she goes.”
