I hate marketing. Yes, me — a business coach with an MBA in marketing who’s spent over a decade teaching others how to do it. And if you feel the same, you’re not alone.
In this episode, we’re unpacking what “hating marketing” really means and how to reframe it so it’s not a block, but a spark. I’ll tell you the story of how I once publicly quit self-marketing (yes, really) and still got my best year in business — because people knew me already. Which proves a vital point: your marketing is never wasted.
We talk about rejection sensitivity, visibility fears, and the very real emotional toll of constantly showing up online — especially when you’re neurodivergent or introverted. Most importantly, I’ll help you reframe marketing as starting or joining conversations — because that’s all it really is.
From podcasts and books to social posts and networking, there are so many ways to market your business that feel aligned, empowering, and even fun (yes, really). Let’s find the ones that work for you — so marketing becomes a natural extension of your mission, not a constant energy drain.
