  • You're not posting wrong: your magic isn't in the algorithm

    You're not posting wrong. You're just performing instead of connecting, and there is a difference.

    Jenny Burnham, founder of Social Squeeze, built a social media strategy business from a period of expansion on the road back to trusting herself. She's here to tell you what actually moves the needle.

    We explore:

    • Why "sell less to sell more" is not a feel-good slogan — and how it works in practice
    • The one thing most entrepreneurs are obsessing over on social media that simply doesn't matter yet
    • What cycle-syncing your content actually means
    • How low self-worth shaped who Jenny's relationships
    • The question from a book that helped her identify the one thing that was quietly making everything else harder
    • Why entrepreneurship isn't a one-size-fits-all — and what it means to work with your actual brain

    If you've been trying to squeeze yourself into strategies built for someone else's biology, brain, and bandwidth — this one's for you.


    • 00:00 – Jenny's origin story: real estate at 19, sign language interpreting, and a very unexpected pivot
    • 02:46 – Why the lows hit harder when you're not passionate about what you're doing
    • 04:55 – The transition to social media marketing
    • 07:53 – What kept Jenny in the game when every sign pointed toward just getting a job
    • 08:56 – A journey with self-worth
    • 12:33 – Sell less to sell more: what it actually means
    • 14:16 – Why authenticity on social media is the strategy (and the times it's hard to show up that way)
    • 16:35 – Cycle syncing your content: what it is and why it's a game-changer for female entrepreneurs
    • 20:25 – The most common mistake Jenny sees: focusing on the wrong things first
    • 25:05 – The question from The One Thing that made the decision for her
    • 27:36 – What Jenny wishes she knew earlier
