💎 The Refresh is back for 2023! Join me on August 22nd, 23rd & 24th to refresh your relationship with social media & chart a new algorithm-free path forward for your business.
Ok friends — this episode goes out to anyone who’s ever found yourself sucked into a funnel, watching yet another free webinar, desperately trying to unsubscribe from the dozen follow-up emails, and finally getting free just to find your head spinning from everything you “should” be doing to grow your business.
I’ve started thinking of this as the “insta-bae business phenomenon” AKA the way online biz influencers sell quick fixes, ten-step solutions, and easy results with pretty promises and even prettier graphics.
If you’re listening to this show, I’d bet you’re familiar with at least a few of these practices. I’d also bet you’re looking for a different path forward! But you may not be aware of how insta-bae business messaging is still lurking in your mindset and your business.
So in today’s episode, I’m unpacking what I think an “insta-bae business” is and the three insta-bae business traps I see too many small business owners fall prey to. Join me to learn how to…
- Stop believing you need a certain number of followers to sell things 💯
- Quit measuring your success by vanity metrics 📈
- Start pricing based on your value NOT your follower count 💲
Then sign up for The Refresh to start building a business that aligns with your values, your talents, and you community’s needs!
💎 The Refresh is back for 2023! Join me on August 22nd, 23rd & 24th to refresh your relationship with social media & chart a new algorithm-free path forward for your business.
There are so many things to do when you run a small business. And even more things you “should” do according to marketing “experts,” online business influencers, and the voices that arrive when you need to make a big decision.
In this episode, I’m joined by Natalie Miller to talk about the “shoulds” that so many of us face in our lives and our businesses. And we offer practices for taking your “shoulds” seriously, so you can cultivate the magic you need to finally release them.
Join us for a soulful conversation where we explore—
- The "should" that inspired this podcast
- Practices for discovering & examining your shoulds
- Why “best practices” might be bullshit
- How pausing & slowing down can help you discover who you are & what you desire
- Betting on yourself to build self-trust
- The business benefits of doing what you want to do

Today on the podcast, I’m talking to Natalie Ross about what to do you do when you’ve built a successful business on Instagram … but it turns out that social media is wrecking your life.
Natalie is the cofounder of Earth Speak, a podcast and membership collective she co-created to bring intuition into everyday life. She grew Earth Speak to over six figures in annual revenue, 37,000 Instagram followers, and millions of podcast downloads… then decided to step back from social media and pivot the business.
Together we talk about stepping off the social media hamster wheel, how healing her trauma required changing her business, and why we need to rewire the survival instincts that make it feel so scary to connect authentically and vulnerably with others.
Tune in to hear more about—
- How Natalie’s healing journey was reflected in her business
- Shifting your perspective on marketing to support your strengths & desires
- How being in business can bring out threat responses that lead us to hide behind social media instead of actively selling our offerings
