Marketing for small business owners isn’t just strategy — it’s visibility, selling, and asking for money.And those parts of marketing can feel really uncomfortable.
In this episode, I explore two common challenges that make small business marketing feel overwhelming:
• Visibility — being seen can feel risky or unsafe• Pricing & selling — many business owners feel resistance around asking for money
You’ll learn gentle, practical ways to make marketing feel safer and more sustainable, so you can market your business with more confidence and less overwhelm.
In this episode
* Why visibility feels vulnerable — especially for women & marginalised identities• How to build confidence by expanding your comfort zone gently• Marketing mindset shifts that reduce discomfort around selling• Why a simple, intentional marketing strategy creates its own sense of safety and trust
