Ep 374: How To Market When You're Shy: A Real Talk and 5 Tips for Introverted & Neurodivergent Microschool Founders


Listen Later

I used to freeze at the thought of “marketing my school.” I’m not naturally outgoing. I’ve always been more of a behind-the-scenes, let-me-do-the-work-in-peace kind of woman. And for a long time, I thought that meant I wasn’t cut out to grow a successful microschool. All I kept hearing was: “You need to network more,” “You need to post every day,” “You have to sell yourself,” and honestly... I just wanted to crawl into a hole.

If you’ve ever felt like that—if you’re introverted, neurodivergent, shy, or just burned out by the pressure to show up all the time—I made this episode just for you. You don’t need to change who you are to lead a thriving microschool. You don’t need to fake confidence or become someone else to market well. You just need aligned systems and support that work with your personality, not against it.

In this episode, I’ll walk you through how I market my school quietly but powerfully, how I connect with families in a way that feels authentic, and how you can protect your peace while still building a sustainable school. You’ll learn that you’re not broken—you’re built for this. And you can lead from a place of calm, clarity, and conviction.
