From lost + overwhelmed to marketing my way: my marketing journey

When I started my business, and struggled with marketing, I thought I was the only one struggling. Looking at the other small business owners I followed, they seemed to have it all together.

Now I know better. Now I know that most of the small business owners, freelancers and creatives I speak to struggle with marketing. And I’ve learned the only secret to marketing that matters: that I can market my way.

In this episode of the Female Owned podcast I share my marketing journey with you, tell you what’s changed and invite you to reflect on how you can make your marketing feel better (and be more effective) too.
