When I tell people that I don’t market on social media, they often respond with surprise — or with two familiar beliefs:“You can’t really grow a business without it,” or “You need a big audience to leave.”

In this episode, I push back against both — and share what happened when social media no longer fit my business.

In this episode

You’ll hear about:• The uneasy relationship I had with social media• The parameters I set to rebuild my marketing without it• A gentle pep talk if social media feels wrong for your business

If you’ve been craving marketing that feels calmer, more intentional and truly your own, this episode is your reminder that your business can thrive without social media.

✨ Mentioned in this episode: astridbracke.com/grow — Grow is my 4-month gentle marketing programme for small business owners, freelancers and creatives who want marketing that feels clear, sustainable and fully their own. Doors are open until October 31st.
