You know that feeling when you sit down to write your marketing strategy…
 and 45 minutes later you’ve reorganised your inbox, made another coffee, and started doubting if you even are a marketer?

Yep. That was me. Yesterday.

In this episode, I’m bringing you right into the chaos, the Q4 overwhelm, the pressure to make your 2026 strategy “bigger and better,” and that sneaky voice saying you’re falling behind.

Building next year’s marketing strategy doesn’t have to feel like climbing a mountain.

So, in this first part of my two-part series, I’m sharing:

• The two biggest mindset traps that make strategy season so overwhelming
•  How to reframe them 
• My five best prep steps to get you out of your head and into action

By the end, you’ll have a plan to actually start your 2026 strategy, with focus, confidence, and combatting that overwhelm.
