The Consistency Corner: Lightening the Mental Load of Marketing
A marketing strategy podcast for mom founders who are done feeling overwhelmed by content, social media, and the pressure to “show up online” everywhere, all the time.
Hosted by Ruthie Sterrett, marketing strategist, agency owner, and founder of The Consistency Corner, this show is for the mom entrepreneur who already knows the basics of marketing but is too busy, too stretched, or too mentally maxed out to carry it all alone.
This isn’t a tactics podcast. It’s a marketing thinking partner in your earbuds.
Inside each episode, you’ll get:
Honest conversations about the mental load of marketing and motherhood
Strategic clarity on social media, content planning, and visibility without burnout
Real talk about capacity, consistency, and what it looks like to market your business without losing yourself in the process
Founder-to-founder perspective from someone who implements daily, not someone teaching theory
If marketing has started to feel like another full-time job you never applied for, this podcast will feel like a deep breath.
New episodes drop weekly. Find Ruthie at theconsistencycorner.com or @theconsistencycorner on Instagram.
