Share episode

The path to business growth often lies just beyond the fear of being misunderstood by your audience. What if instead of avoiding that discomfort, you welcomed it as an initiation into your next level of expansion?

• Being afraid of how your mother-in-law, high school friends, or colleagues will interpret your content can create the first hurdle in showing up authentically
• When you're truly aligned with your natural style, clarity and sales flow more easily than when you try to fit yourself into marketing formulas
• For manifestors, structured marketing can kill creativity, while generators thrive with clear frameworks
• Chelsea's new intuitive Business Soul Scans required pushing through fear of judgment from former legal colleagues
• Supporting yourself through misunderstandings requires physical practices like deep breathing and emotional regulation, not just mindset work
• Releasing offerings that no longer feel aligned often triggers fears of being seen as flaky or inconsistent
• Premium marketing and "champagne problems" require a different messaging approach that can feel exclusive but attracts more aligned clients
• The most successful entrepreneurs develop the ability to hold themselves through doubt, comparison, slow seasons, and client issues
• Being misunderstood is inevitable - it's how you respond that determines your long-term success

Join us in the Intuitive Business Community where we have weekly live calls, guest experts, and a library of resources to support you through these challenges. We'll be taking a break for summer but returning with Season 3 soon!

Speaker 1:

What if your next level in business is just on the other side of feeling deeply misunderstood by your audience or your community and you just knowing how to support yourself through it?

Speaker 2:

What we have found is that when you're early in showing up online for business, it can feel like your mother-in-law, high school friends and colleagues. Opinions really matter, and that can be the first hurdle around being worried about being misunderstood really matter, and that can be the first hurdle around being worried about being misunderstood. But as your visibility grows and even strangers have the chance to weigh in on what you're saying online, how can you actually welcome this in as an initiation for your expansion? We're going to talk about how we're doing it together on today's episode.

Speaker 1:

Speaker 1:

So just a quick note this is going to be our last episode of season two and we will be taking a break for the summer, but something we've both been navigating we see people navigating in our community. We get questions online is how to really move through the feeling of being misunderstood, because we see it really send people into a freeze state, especially when it comes to marketing, especially around visibility on social media. So we were having our like pre-conversation before our podcast recording and we were talking about times in our business when it really really flowed or when we were making the most amount of money or whatever it might be. And I was thinking back to this time where I had the most sales. Like I remember writing it on a legal pad because I wanted to see like I knew I could go into the check in the back sales. Like I remember writing it on a legal pad because I wanted to see like I knew I could go into the check in the back end.

Speaker 1:

But I would write it down every time and I would send pictures to my brother and being like, oh my God, I would send him a picture and be like, oh my God, another one came in, another one came in and I was so blown away by that that I fell into this place of now. You have to. You made this amount of money. You have to look more professional, so you should be doing it a certain way. And that's where I really got caught up, and I don't want to be misunderstood. I want people to know exactly what I do. Yeah, but the manifestor in me- had a really really hard time with that.

Speaker 1:

That really killed my creativity.

Speaker 2:

So when you were making those sales, that felt like surprising and exciting and almost do you feel like you were following a strategy or just being really authentic. Like what were you specifically marketing and talking in your marketing about what you sell? Or were you just being manifestor?

Speaker 1:

vibes Meg sell or were you just being manifestor vibes, meg? I was just being manifestor vibes, like I was being me. Yeah, and that is that kind of marketing was confusing to people on the outside not people who were buying. People who were buying knew exactly what they were getting. So I was selling reiki sessions, I was selling intuitive readings, I was selling reiki master teaching Reiki and all the levels of Reiki. And I was selling a group program called Listen to your Soul and it was like the second level of Listen to your Soul, which was more of like a mastermind, sold so quickly and the people who bought it really understood.

Speaker 1:

And I always had this deep knowing and belief that people who were buying from me were very, very capable and they were able to make decisions and I could just share what it was going to be like. I could just share my life and what I was offering and they would get it or they wouldn't. And then I got caught up more in this oh well, you should be selling to their pain points. You should be selling. You should know where they are in their journey and that's where your marketing should. You should know where they are in their journey and that's where your marketing should. And when that happened I was maybe clearer, like the outside. People would see and understand a little bit more, but things slowed down. It didn't feel good to me, so I had this deep, deep, deep fear of being misunderstood. So I tried to fit myself into a box and then it really just killed my creativity.

Speaker 2:

Well, that's so interesting and, for anyone listening who's not super familiar, so manifestor from the perspective of human design. And so manifestors are meant to be leaders, like influencers have just be like informing people about where they're going, people about where they're going, and then others wanting, you know, generators like me being like let's, I'll build the scaffolding of what you need here. Let's do it right. I always think about the manifestors as like the script writer, the creative around a movie, and then there's me, the directors and the producers and different types. And so I've been noticing you getting back to like. How has it felt in the? I've just been observing it for the past month or so, but I'm sure you've had easing back into or unlayering, like it's. It feels like you're on your personal feed anyway. Getting back to like, just what lights you up and topics that are exciting.

Speaker 2:

I loved the real today of you and KK going thrifting, but also wove in your business a little bit Right, and so how is? It feeling and what do you see coming from it?

Speaker 1:

It feels so good. It feels and like my engagement is up so much, which is really really exciting, because when I post just about Instagram tips or marketing tips, there's no engagement. There will be people that will buy, but it's not like that exciting. Like I don't open my app and have a ton of messages and stuff. Now where I'm back to to that like really conversing with my community because I have always looked at social media as like a true community I never looked at it like I just wanted to talk to people who were going to buy from me. Like that just doesn't feel good to me, it doesn't feel exciting and also like in that I have there have been a few days of like people are going to be like what are you doing? Like why are you talking about this? I will be misunderstood and I am. You know, 2025 Meg is way more comfortable than that, than 2021 Meg. I did not know how to hold myself. Like I was the type of person that was up at two in the morning being like oh, I said this.

Speaker 2:

Maybe they misunderstood me.

Speaker 1:

Maybe I should send them a text message tomorrow. And now I just am able to really hold myself through it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's interesting. And so as you look into the summer and like how you want to be showing up on social media everything's testing and marketing, so it's landing in your body You're feeling really clear and embodied in some of these shifts that you're making to reclaim how you like showing up online. What does it look like for you stepping into the summer? Do you just want to stay consistent with what feels good and see where the conversations go?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and I think that when I think I can stay consistent, when it's fun for me and what I've been allowing myself is just I actually just like creating content, Like I really like creating content. So if I feel like I'm in a box, I have a much harder time creating content. So if I feel like I only should be posting about what I do for work, that is just feel so dry to me, Like it just feels so boring and dry, and I can go through seasons of that. But I am not in a season of that right now. I'm in a season of I really like learning how to edit and learning how to vlog and doing things. So I know that just this leads into what I want to ask you too. But I know that people feel my energy and if I'm excited about something, it's going to be felt through social media. So you know, just like you got this new download of what something that you wanted to offer you could actually like really feel your excitement in it.

Speaker 1:

But how did that? Feel out the business scans into the world.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah, I decided it was definitely an intuitive ping. It was something that I was a little bit nervous to put out. So I have my first offer that's up on the website it lives now it's on my pen site. It's called the Business Soul Scans and it is a completely intuitive, not strategic reading, and it's something that I've developed blending.

Speaker 2:

I've invested in working with several different intuitive mentors, like you have over the years, and something that I'd always been curious about was looking through the lens when I was being taught as a student. How could this help someone who's a business owner, because that's who my audience is Like? If I was ever going to hold myself out doing this, how could it help? Is ever gonna hold myself out doing this? How could it help? And so one of the methods that I know you and I both are familiar with is called a rose reading, where the reader, so the intuitive, is putting up in their imagination, let's call it, and going into trance and putting up a reading screen. And then the way that I was taught was to look at pulling up a rose and that there's details and meaning behind the amount of petals, the density of petals, the strength of the rose hip, the leaves, the stem, how many thorns? And they were given specific meaning by one of the mentors I worked with, named Barbara, and I started, I did a couple little like practice sessions, maybe six months ago, with a couple members of the intuitive business community who I knew would just give me feedback of what if I did this, so that, instead of pulling up your energy, meg's energy, what if I was asking to call forward the rose that represented your business and your brand?

Speaker 2:

And then so I started toying with, well, what would the meanings be?

Speaker 2:

And even as I'm doing some of these readings, it's like, oh, okay, I'm seeing a pattern. There's often a channel of light that comes down in different colors that flicker through it, and so I'm seeing these, just doing several of them in a row. And so when I decided to put these out two weeks ago, I was like, okay, I just need to put up a calendar where people can pay and book and just do it and call it business soul scan and there's a little blurb. And I put out five spots at a beta pricing and immediately was like what if no one buys, even though I'm holding myself through the excitement of what I know this could do for people immediately. What if no one buys? And then shifted into oh, but everybody who does buy, I'm going to love doing this for and where it comes in for being misunderstood, and I think a lot of people can relate to this is like how many certifications do I have to invest in before I can feel confident? To effing do this.

Speaker 1:

Right, because, like with intuitive work too, like you honestly don't even need a certification. I think it's, you know, I think we get so caught up in that, but it's like and it's very that it's a high level of feeling misunderstood. So it's really timely to be talking about that.

Speaker 2:

And then just seeing, seeing some of the people who are interacting on my posts especially. I did post about this on LinkedIn as well and I have a couple like former lawyer colleague friends who are like liking some of these posts. I'm like what do they think? Do they think they've gone off the deep end? But especially when it's an offer and a type of work where then I'm implementing it, like doing the readings, really quickly. I've done three of them so far this week and each of them was just so validating, like from the actual feedback of oh my gosh, you just described the exact rose that my mother and I it's her favorite flower and we give to the back and forth to each other, like you would have no way of knowing that, or just like the glimmers of evidence, if you will, when you're in intuitive work to be like oh, okay, that landed.

Speaker 2:

That makes sense. I couldn't have known that.

Speaker 2:

That's interesting, would have worked to be like oh okay, that landed, that makes sense, I couldn't have known that. That's interesting, especially when you're doing like a live reading and you have a little bit of time to debrief after. And there's even one person who booked one that I'm like. I'm a little bit nervous to do this. She doesn't strike me as someone who would be seeking out intuitive guidance, and so there's part of me. That's okay. Am I going to do a good enough job, Like you were saying?

Speaker 1:

And what if you just leaned into? I know that I'm going to show up and just give her exactly what she needs.

Speaker 2:

Exactly what she needs I think that's what's been really coming through for me, and doing the first three were with people who I know really, really well. The biggest fear I had honestly around like setting a session and selling a session that's going to involve intuitive reading, is that I didn't have a deep enough trust that I could do it on demand.

Speaker 2:

I don't know if you ever struggled with that, with doing Reiki. Well, what if I'm not tapped in and tuned in and turned on? And what I've personally learned is I just need to hold myself in certain ways in the day and doesn't have to be all day. I don't have to be high frequency all day, but like I need 10 minutes beforehand and energy hygiene to show up as that channel and so, yeah, I am interested to see.

Speaker 2:

I haven't seen my parents since I've posted about this. Like, are they going to ask about? It's like a separate entity is very vulnerable to be. Like what do you want me to know as the vessel? Like, what do you want me to know? Yeah and so it's been really powerful to do them and making sure that that I'm explaining it like, as I do it more, I want to market it like do these more.

Speaker 2:

But then there's also the part of me that's like in between, where you're at, of just wanting to be an influencer kind of that like vibe and me, the line one, three and me, and just you know the neurodivergent me to be like, but I want people to know what they're signing up for, and so figuring out how to speak about them feels exciting to me right now. Like do I want to do some behind the scenes?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I have some ideas.

Speaker 2:

Even a couple people have sent me like boxer or telegram messages, even though they filled out a testimonial form. Also, just hey, can I just share what that meant to me? And yeah, asking permission to say can I use a clip of that? That really spoke to me. But yeah, even though it's just another type of session, is it really that different from me having honed my craft as a strategist versus having honed my craft as an intuitive? No, they're both skill sets. But to me, I've always leaned so heavily on the strategy, on being able to walk people through and guide people through what makes logical sense while honoring them.

Speaker 1:

But this just feels like a little bit on my edges, for sure I mean, and I love that we have the opposite edges, because I'm just like hey, this is it.

Speaker 1:

If you want it, then I trust that you're gonna buy it when you're ready and like if you do, I'll answer any questions and I think that I knew being misunderstood was such a scary thing for me. So I think in our people, in our community, the people that are attracted to us, have that too. A lot of us are type A or former high achievers, people who really want to be seen for their genius and understood, and I see that in a lot of people that I work with around social media and their desire to make sure that everything is buttoned up to a T that no one can misunderstand them. We work with a lot of people and I have, over my career, psychologists, psychiatrists, doctors, people who are very used to giving you know former lawyers who are very used to giving you know former lawyers who are very used to giving.

Speaker 2:

Here's my advice and you will follow it.

Speaker 1:

Right, I've given all of the information because, like they don't want any line left unsaid, because, somebody could say but you didn't say this to me and that's just not how social media works. Like you cannot fit a thesis level you know fitting into a 150 character, whatever it might be, so you have to get comfortable answering questions or being able to say I didn't get to further elaborate on this part and the really the only way to do that is to practice it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's true, get those posts out there. I put myself through the fire of being misunderstood when I developed by invisibility with my friend Rebecca. I knew this was not to get rich. This was not something. We wanted to help other people make a community.

Speaker 1:

And I knew that I would be misunderstood, that people would see that and say why in God's name is she saying this? Because it has nothing to do with like to the outside person. I am married to my husband Like why would you ever put yourself out there to say that? And part of the challenge to me was like how can I get really visible in this, be misunderstood and hold yourself through it Like I knew my nervous system was going to be so activated like the first time, like I and it was. And it was activated many, many times and I would literally I mean you guys aren't seeing the video, but I'll say I of this but I would wake up in the night like worried about being misunderstood, like uh, yeah feeling it in my body and I would put one hand on my chest and one on my belly and I would breathe super deep and be like tell my body like you are safe, you're safe to be seen.

Speaker 1:

So when we talk about this, like you could read things on social media about being misunderstood or like just put the post out there. But there is an actual, true feeling of unsafety that can come up and have to navigate that and figure out like I can't say any magic words that's going to say to you like you're going to be misunderstood and you'll be okay, like I know you will. I know most likely like nothing bad is going to come from being misunderstood. Somebody might fight with you, somebody might argue with you, you might lose jobs, like. There are situations where that happens. I left my position at the maternal wellness space that I was in because I was posting more in an influencer style on my own page and the person that I was working with did not like that and I was misunderstood and that's that can impact your life. Yeah, so you have to figure out where you feel, where you can push that edge and where you can hold yourself through it.

Speaker 1:

So a more recent one that I went through was I knew that it was time to end the board meeting. My free networking call From the outside. Everyone was like why?

Speaker 2:

Loving it and signing up. Loving it.

Speaker 1:

I always had at least like 15 people or more there. Every single week I had a newsletter of over 300 people signed up or something, but I knew it was time to change. I knew that like I just wasn't in that space anymore and that often happens to me, and years ago I would kind of push through that for even longer than I did because of that being misunderstood, people thinking I'm flaky or whatever.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah.

Speaker 1:

And in this time I was just like, yeah, people are going to misunderstand and that's OK, Like I think it also comes with being in your 40s, having ages and preteens like they misunderstand me all the time.

Speaker 2:

And I have to just be like thick skin, exactly.

Speaker 1:

Like your skin does get thicker over time and you just don't have the energy to care as much anymore. So I did have to, like, hold myself through that, have conversations with you, have conversations with other people saying this I just know this to be true and I have to listen to that and people might misunderstand. And what can I do? Then? I can have a conversation with them, I can create connection around it and say this is what I'm feeling. Maybe I can even be an example for people. Maybe it could be something that allows somebody else to say I'm okay with being misunderstood and I'm going to stop whatever it is that I'm doing.

Speaker 2:

That doesn't feel aligned. Yeah, releasing things can be really hard, especially if you've really taken a stand for it or marketed it, and then to say, okay, that chapter is done, you need to know why it's done, but everybody else doesn't need to know why, and that's the hard part, I think.

Speaker 1:

Right, right, like over explaining.

Speaker 1:

I think we do a lot of I just feel, ok, like I'm going to stop this. Now let me explain to and it's like you don't necessarily have to Like, just if you feel like you're going to be misunderstood and you go to that over explaining place I think it is tuning into is this coming from a place of fear or actual alignment? And that's something that you have to hone over time as a business owner to say I know where this decision is coming from well, and even I think sometimes we can feel like a nuance change.

Speaker 2:

So the board meeting was ending and clearly communicate. You did a graceful job of like clearly communicating it. There's so much in business that we can feel like it's a huge deal.

Speaker 1:

Like oh, I've got this download.

Speaker 2:

One of the things for me right now is that I'm being really activated in a positive way by a training, a LinkedIn training, and she's just posing some ways to push your edge around messaging your offers, messaging your content, more to what she calls champagne problems, and this is really if you are a business provider who has a higher ticket offering. You know our marketing agency offers. They are not the cheapest, they're not the most expensive for the type of work there, but there's a general range that is higher ticket than some people. Some newer businesses may not have that investment to put out and I have, I would say I've typically in my career helped very new businesses and I think this stems from when I was a lawyer. I was a startup lawyer and so I was brainstorming with clients how they were going to set up their LLC and were they going to hire an employee and did they need to protect their intellectual property All these like early micro decisions that can really steer how a business does. And I think I've just inherently transitioned that into the type of or stage of businesses that I work with in any of the strategy work that I do. But I think I've gotten to a place where I can look back and be like okay, not that we have to justify our value, but I have a doctorate degree. I've been a coach for 15 years now. I've been running online businesses. I've worked with hundreds of clients.

Speaker 2:

At this point and I look at some of my peers, colleagues, who are charging much higher prices for work Right, higher prices for work, right and so it's just been really interesting as a reflection point for me of the misunderstanding part is I don't want people who are new in business to feel left out or like they can't come to me. Like we have our intuitive business community that makes gives very high access to you and I at a very reasonable price point. I have so many free resources, so many classes I can send to people if they have a question without charging. Like I don't want to feel exclusive, but I do feel this calling to shift to be a little bit more premium, and so I'm exploring in my own messaging what does that feel like?

Speaker 2:

I think it feels like sharing more about my legal career and how I transitioned from that into strategy, because I, because of trauma around everything that happened with that blowing up, I feel like I compartmentalized it and in some ways, it makes me feel like I was a baby starting over when I started getting into strategy instead of law, and so it there's some there's definitely some personal misunderstanding for me that I'm having to be like oh, that makes sense why I was speaking in that way, because that's what felt safe and that's how I could package what I was doing in a way that felt accessible to me to sell. And now, as I'm maturing as a person and as a business owner and on my healing journey, and I can see that bridge and that there's a way to communicate it differently and I think, even just saying it out loud now, it's just a nuance. Right, it's still the same things we're selling, but it's just how to lead people to it and who?

Speaker 2:

you're calling in and it's almost the flip side of you, because for me, when I'm clear on the strategy and what ball I'm trying to put into what hole for content, it's so much easier for me, whereas for you it's what lights you up and for me, for you it's what lights you up and for me I'm like, oh great, I get to check that off and it feels like an effective communication of what I do, perfect, moving on, which is just so fun. But I think that for me I get nervous that people who are newer business owners will feel like I'm abandoning them, misunderstanding fear for me.

Speaker 1:

I think that it's interesting because I'll give you an example for myself, like when I was a new coach, like I invested right away in a three or four thousand dollar program. Then the next year I invested in like a nine thousand dollar mastermind, and I had not been a coach. What I have always tried to remember is that the people in my community are really capable. If they have questions, they're going to answer.

Speaker 2:

They're informed buyers, really informed buyers.

Speaker 1:

They're not going to spend money if they don't feel like they should Like they're going to take, they're going to do their due diligence and I think that's where we're getting to in, like in the nuance of because we I think you can attract new coaches or people early in their business, the same way that you can attract people further along. Yeah, I think what you do end up attracting when you like let go of that fear of being misunderstood around like your offers and stuff is that more like handholding? That needs to be done. I think and I wasn't I had a hard time being in a position of attracting people who needed a lot of handholding. Yeah, I have three kids that need a ton of handholding. I mean people who are showing up and they're like this is scary to get to invest in having my speaker sheet done and my website and to say that I'm putting it, I'm putting my like stake in the sand of I'm going to do this, but I'm ready for that challenge.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yep, they're already leading themselves and walking down the path and finding the right person and I think that is what feels exciting to me is like the differentiating factors. If we're now in the mix of, of, if someone is looking at three marketing agencies and they have a bone in their body that they care about, feeling seen, heard, guided, intuitively they would pick us right.

Speaker 2:

That's the type of person we want to attract in, and so that's feeling like a fun nuance, but it is something that I'm having to hold myself through to be like okay, I'm putting slightly different content out on LinkedIn because of this challenge and okay, how does that feel and who's commenting on it and what does that activate for me and that process? I think part of the whole reason we've been saying that saving this as the last episode for this season is.

Speaker 2:

It's like the culmination of growth is learning how to support yourself all the business through hard times of figuring out your messaging and just so many of the let's call it symptoms that we see the people pleasing not showing up on social media, the avoiding posting something that could be triggering, and so instead you're watering yourself down, not claiming your credibility or expertise, like, like, not talking about the trainings, the education, like.

Speaker 2:

If that's important for your buyer, why aren't you sharing it? So I think a lot of this has been. I like to think of it as an initiation into the next level, as though it's like a video game and we're going to level three. There's, yes, strategy and pricing your offers right and client journey and marketing funnels are helpful and all of those things. But if you cannot hold yourself through hard times, then I just think back to when I was a lawyer.

Speaker 2:

I would set up like a couple hundred new llcs a year and then the next year, when we had to go back and do the annual report. The first year it surprised me. After that it did not that like half of them would be oh yeah, I shut down, it didn't get off the ground. And then some we would just be ghosted by and, like any form of business, whether it be online, which has lower overhead, or setting up a bar, right, there's attrition and so much of being an entrepreneur that's going to be here for even us podcasting. We're going to start season three soon, right? Like anything that you're doing, if you can hold yourself through the questions, the doubt, the comparisonitis, the slow season, the busy season, the client having an issue, someone misunderstanding you online, that's like a badge of honor to the next level.

Speaker 1:

Exactly and it's inevitable and try to embrace them. Like the first time I ever had somebody ask for money back when they signed up for a program, I was like, okay, this is it. This is when you decide like how are you going to handle this? Because you want to curl up and die and close everything down and take all your money out of your bank account and be done, yeah. But if you have to decide like she is in her power and realize this is not the space for her, and that's great and how can you let it toughen your skin for the next?

Speaker 2:

time. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and we were ending on this kind of thought-provoking, hopefully conversation-starting, topic because A you can always come chat with us in the DMs, either on our personal Instagrams or over at Intuitive Marketing Collective. Hopefully you'll be excited for season three when that gets started back up again, but also between now and then and every week we are showing up in the intuitive business community.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and we have these conversations.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, just a conversational invitation that if through, if you're listening to this kind of live, if through the summer, you know you need to have conversations like this in safe spaces. We both run between the two of us. We run three group coaching calls every single month and we also bring in a guest. In May we're bringing in a LinkedIn expert. This month I did an AI training. The people who showed up were just jaw-dropped about how they could revamp their website pages and copy using AI and being really authentic. So there's always something happening. Pretty much every week there's something live happening and just a library of so many different resources in there. So if you're craving community, if you're wanting to stay accountable through the summer, if you've got the kids coming home and you're not sure how you're going to just stay committed to the vision, we would invite you to come explore the intuitive business community.

Speaker 1:

We would love to see you in there because these conversations are so important we actually just had a member talking similarly about something like this in the community this week and had a bunch of people chime in and it's really nice to know that, like other people are going through it too and to form your community of people that do understand you and can say when those misunderstandings happen and either in a post or whatever, you have a place to come and land that's beyond, like your partner or just friends, like people who are also doing business as well, to really support you there.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I think some of the words that come to mind just recently about the kind of the values that I'm seeing happening within the community is just normalizing, like normalizing the ups and the downs. I feel like members in the group, and including us, are very transparent and very like leading with transparency on the good, the bad and also just self-leadership. I'm seeing such great self-leadership the quality of the questions people are bringing into the community and to calls, and self-leadership even in showing up to interact with others, give feedback to one another, like they don't have to wait for Meg or Chelsea, they can just jump in and give their expertise, their feedback, their experience to one another. It's been really, really great to see. It's been awesome.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so this is it. We're wrapping up season two. If you have some episodes that you did not go through yet, feel free to go binge, feel free to reach out to us on social media, and if there's any topics you would like us to cover in season three, to go a little bit deeper on, then let us know in the comments. Make sure to rate and review so that more people can find it as we step into season three.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and send us to your biz bestie, somebody that you know, who has also maybe struggled with being misunderstood, and we hope that this is just the balm that they need to say OK, I can get back at it, because what I have is really important for the world.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and I'll just. I'll do our little normal close out. So we hope that this episode of the Intuitive Marketing Podcast is an inspiration to help you bring the magic back into your own marketing. Our goal is for this podcast to be a compass in the chaos we know you get bombarded with information options and conflicting ideas out there on the internet streets and we hope that you enjoy all of season two and we'll be excited and ready for season three when it drops later this summer. Can't wait. See you soon.
