How I grew my small business without social media

What happened when social media no longer fit my business, and what I did instead.

When I tell people that I don’t market on social media, they often respond with surprise — or with two familiar beliefs: “You can’t really grow a business without it,” or “You need a big audience to leave.”

In this episode, I push back against this — and share what happened when social media no longer fit my business.

Episode highlights:

  • The uneasy relationship I had with social media

  • The parameters I set to rebuilt my marketing without social media

  • A peptalk if social media feels wrong for your business marketing

If you’ve been craving marketing that feels calmer, more intentional and truly your own, I hope this episode gives you permission to rethink the role of social media in your business.
