I think you could probably go back and track the stages of grief, probably that is what I went through. But I think if you do it right, you end up at acceptance. And that's where I ended up. And that's not to say that I've fully accepted the idea that the golden toad is extinct. Personally, I do still hold out hope that it could still be out there in those forests." - Trevor Ritland This conversation is with Trevor Ritland, who—along with his twin brother Kyle—authored The Golden Toad . The book chronicles their remarkable journey into Costa Rica’s cloud forest, once home to hundreds of brilliant golden toads that would emerge for just a few weeks each year—until, one day, they vanished without a trace. What began as a search for a lost species soon became something much more profound: a confrontation with ecological grief, a meditation on hope, and a powerful call to protect the natural world while we still can.

Let’s talk about why content creation feels so stressful (even though you know it shouldn't feel this way). Spoiler alert: it’s not because you “aren’t good at writing posts” or “need better copy.”

Inside this episode, I’m breaking down 3 simple shifts that will help you create content that actually sounds like you (and that you're proud to share), connects more deeply with your audience (and actually leads to them taking action and reaching out), and allows you to stop overthinking and questioning if you're doing it the "right way".

We’re covering:

How to create content without the overthinking and "pressure" to sound a certain type of way
A new way to come up with post ideas on repeat—even when you don't know what to post (hint: it’s already inside your client experience)
How to actually start enjoying sharing online again

Whether you’re burnt out from trying to sound perfect or just need to get back into a posting groove—this episode will help you find your voice again (and make posting feel less like going to the dentist—and more like a Saturday date with your gfs at your fave brunch spot 🥂).

Ways we can work together:

<<Brand Strategy + Coaching>> Create a brand so strong that clients are sold on working with you before they even reach out!
<<Brand Photography>> Is it time to elevate your business with new brand photos?

I'D LOVE TO CONNECT WITH YOU!

Inside this episode, we’re talking about: Why “what should I post today?” is the wrong question (and what to ask instead) How to make your marketing feel so much simpler How to get back to creating content easily (if you've been feeling overwhelmed and overthinking it) ✨ P.S. If you're ready to create simple content that actually brings in aligned clients (without feeling the pressure to recreate trending IG reels that make you wanna cringe)… The In-Demand Brand Course was created for you.

206 | When You Focus On Creating THIS Content, Your Marketing Becomes Way Easier 16:13

26 days ago16:13

16:13

You don't have to be "on" 24/7 in order to always be attracting new clients. In fact, when you focus on this ONE type of content, getting new dream inquiries becomes a whole lot simpler (and allows you to be posting and showing up LESS online). In today’s episode, we’re talking about why only focusing on short-form content is draining your energy and not actually building momentum in getting new client inquiries on repeat. I’m walking you through how I’ve built a business that still brings in dream clients — even when I’ve barely touched Instagram for weeks — and while I'm in another country — and how you can shift your strategy to do the same. Inside this episode, we’re covering: The real reason you feel like you have to be constantly “on” in order to get new client inquries How shifting your focus and energy to a different type of content will help you unplug without your income dipping Why focusing on quick business wins might be sabotaging your growth (and what to do instead) ✨ P.S. If you're ready to build a brand that does the heavy lifting for you—so you're not always hustling trying to get the next client? The In-Demand Brand Course is open and ready for you! It’s your step-by-step framework to create a brand that clearly communicates your value and consistently brings in aligned clients—without burning you out in the process. Loved the episode?

Your most confident self doesn’t come from having more clarity, more strategy, more clients or more income. You most confident self isn't something that you create "someday". You confidence grows when you decide that you are more than capable of achieving your biggest goals. You confidence is a decision— a choice. In this episode, we're unpacking what it really takes to build unshakeable confidence in your brand, your offers—and in yourself.

202 | When You Have Strong Brand Positioning, You Can Price Your Offers Whatever You Want 16:40

6 weeks ago16:40

16:40

If you’ve ever thought, “No one is buying my offer right now and everyone is saying I'm too expensive... I should just offer a one-time discount" — this episode is for you. Because the truth is, your pricing isn't the problem (and you don't need to include more things to make it "worth it"). When your dream clients don’t immediately understand your value (aka what makes you different and why you're the person to solve their current challenges/problems), they default to saying it’s “too expensive.” But the real problem? You’re not positioning your brand clearly enough for them to see why your offer is exactly what they need (and what will help them experience and live the life they want so deeply to live). In this episode, we’re digging into: Why your pricing isn’t the issue (even if people keep telling you it is) How to build a brand that instantly communicates your value to dream clients What I realized recently while doing my own market research (that snapped me out of comparison mode fast) How to stop feeling like you need to “prove” your worth in your content (and what to do instead, that will actually feel GOOD to do) Whether you’re launching something new or things have just been a little quiet lately, this episode will help you reframe what’s really going on — and how to position your offers with confidence again. 🎉 PS — My signature course, The In-Demand Brand , is officially open! If you’re tired of second-guessing your content or feeling stuck in “how do I explain what I do so people actually get it?” — this course was made for you. You’ll learn how to speak to your dream clients so clearly they start saying yes before you ever chat with them in real time.

If you’ve ever thought, “I’ll just hire someone to do this for me…” “I’m not good at copy and content so I’ll hand it off…” “I don’t have time to figure this out—I’ll just have someone else write it…” This episode is for you. Because the truth is—outsourcing without deeply understanding the why and strategy/impact (of the thing you're outsourcing) is just a really expensive way to feel more stuck. You might be showing up in more places, but you don't see the results you were hoping for. And so you start questioning everything… including the people you hired to help. Inside this episode I’m breaking down: The sneaky feelings and reasons you might *want* to outsource something, but it might not actually be what you need (aka it might not actually help you be more visible/book more clients, etc.) The kind of support that actually helps you move forward (and how to know when you’re ready to hand something off) 🎧 Send me a DM @heykristamarie and share your biggest takeaway from the convo 💛 Loved the episode?

📣 My signature course, The In-Demand Brand, is currently on presale and the price will be increasing on 5/19!

Join the email list to access the presale + exclusive bonuses: heykristamarie.com/email — You don’t need to be perfect (& never misstep) in order to grow a powerful brand. But you do need to show up for what you say you want. In this episode, I’m sharing what it’s really looked like to commit to showing up every day—while on a cross-country road trip, sleeping in new places, and sometimes recording before 7am (or after midnight 😅). And how following through—especially when it would’ve been easier not to—has shifted the way I see myself, my brand, and my capacity for growth.

Early access gets you $100 off and a free 1:1 strategy call. Join the email community here: heykristamarie.com/email (presale ends Sunday, 5/18!) — If creating content feels like a full-time job—but you’re still not seeing the results you want—this episode is for you. I’m sharing the belief that kept me stuck (and burnt out) for far too long when it came to creating content—and what actually helped me shift into a business that felt easier, clearer, and way more profitable. 🎙️ Inside the episode: The mindset that kept me from hitting consistent $8k+ months (even though I was working and creating all the time) What shifted when I finally built a brand rooted in intentional strategy—not just "more content" This episode is your reminder that you don’t need to show up everywhere. Having a massively successful, profitable business doesn't require you to be on Pinterest, posting 5x/week, having a massive email list, or selling in your IG stories everyday. I KNOW this episode will help you create more intentional content that actually allows you to unplug more frequently from your work (while still booking out your calendar with dream clients).
