Where You Water It
The grass isn't greener on the other side; it’s green where you water it.
Welcome to Where You Water It, the podcast for 1:1 service providers and work-from-home moms who are tired of blending in and ready to build a business that actually works for them.
I’m your host, Ellie Brown, a brand and web designer, and the founder of Ellie Brown Branding. For years, I struggled with the belief that I wasn't "good enough" and that everyone else was doing it better. I convinced myself I needed another course or someone else's process to finally be successful, only to realize that the "easy button" doesn't exist.
On this show, we’re stopping the comparison game and building our businesses out loud—sharing the real lessons, expensive mistakes, and honest moments that happen behind the scenes. Through solo episodes and guest interviews, we dive into the kind of growth that comes from showing up and paying attention to what actually matters.
We’ll dive into:
- Branding & Websites
- Business & Client Experience
- Mindset & Motherhood
- Behind the Scenes
You are already good enough to hit your goals on your own terms. It’s time to stop looking over the fence and start watering what you’ve planted.
Ready to grow? Let’s dive in.

6: Burned Out by Social Media for Your Business? Try the Static 9-Grid
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Do you ever feel like you’re running two businesses: the one you actually get paid for, and the one where you’re a full-time content creator? If the answer is "OMG YES, I HATE IT," you, my friend, are not alone.
Almost all my clients feel exactly the same way, and a big fat permission slip to quit that job you never signed up for.
Enter: The Static 9-Grid. Think of it as a beautifully curated mini-website for your Instagram feed that tells your entire business story in just nine evergreen posts. In this episode, I explain how to design a grid that seamlessly goes together to look premium and high-end, even while you’re busy working with clients or hanging out with your kids. We’ll walk through exactly what to include—from your "why" to your process—so you can set it, forget it, and get back to the work you actually love.
