In this episode, I'm diving deep into one of the most common challenges I see business owners face—feeling like you have to be on every single social media platform to be successful. Let me just say it: you don’t. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, email lists, and the rest—this episode is for you.
I break down how to choose your best-fit platform and create a strategy that actually works with your energy, your time, and the way you naturally like to connect. Whether you're just starting out or ready to reset your content strategy, I’ll walk you through how to choose your linchpin—your one content hub that everything else flows from. We’re talking clarity, consistency, and connection—minus the burnout.
