I’m going to get real about a step so many of us want to skip in our online business: nurturing our audience. As an introvert, I used to resist showing up, sharing my story, and connecting with people — I just wanted to sell my online courses and move on. But I learned the hard way that selling to a cold audience rarely works (even though they say it does).

I’m breaking down why nurturing your audience still matters more than ever and the 5 powerful reasons it can transform your business. You will learn:

✅ How nurturing builds trust and credibility


✅ Why connection creates loyal, long-term supporters


✅ How showing up consistently shortens the sales process


✅ The secret to standing out in today’s crowded online world

If you’ve ever felt tempted to skip this step, this episode is for you. By the end, you’ll see why slowing down and serving first will make your business stronger in the long run.

Have you ever found yourself in a total funk where life feels overwhelming, motivation disappears, and your business gets pushed to the back burner? In this episode, I’m opening up about my own rollercoaster week—between kids’ hockey tryouts, homeschooling struggles, and just trying to keep my head above water—and how I found the strength to keep showing up anyway.

In this episode, you’ll learn simple mindset shifts and practical strategies to help you:

✅Get out of a funk when life gets in the way

✅Stay consistent in your business (even if you only have 5–20 minutes a day)

✅Create a “bare minimum plan” that keeps momentum going

✅Reframe rest as part of the process instead of feeling like you’re quitting

This is your reminder that even in the middle of chaos that your vision, your dream, and your mission still matter.

Ready to grow your online business without burning out on social media? In this episode, we’re diving into why Pinterest is one of the best platforms for new online entrepreneurs, introverts, and entrepreneurs with a small audience—and why you need to start using it today.

You’ll learn:

✅How Pinterest works as a visual search engine (not social media) to get your content in front of people actively searching for your offers.

✅Why starting now matters—(hint: it's because Pinterest traffic often takes 6–12 months to build momentum)

✅Three simple, beginner-friendly steps to set up your Pinterest business account and start pinning consistently.

If you’ve been waiting until you have a product to sell online or a bigger audience, you’re holding yourself back. Pinterest can quietly and consistently bring you traffic, leads, and sales for years to come—without constant posting, dancing on camera, or chasing trends.
