#158 - How to Build a Business That Loves You Back

Marketing Like a Mother

Alright, let’s talk about something we don’t talk about enough: what happens when your business starts to feel like a job you can’t quit. 😬 In this episode of Marketing Like a Mother, Olivia chats with business coach and boundary-builder extraordinaire Lindsay Stead about what it really means to build a business that fits you—your personality, your energy, your actual life.

They dig into boundary setting (the baby steps and the big ones), heart-centered marketing that doesn’t feel gross, and how to stop being a mini version of someone else’s success story. If you’ve ever felt trapped by your own strategy or second-guessed your capacity, this one’s for you!

Key Takeaways:

* The reason you’re burnt out might be because you’re following someone else’s “proven” framework—and not your own rhythm.

* Lindsay shares how setting one tiny household boundary gave her the confidence to hold bigger ones in business.

* What to focus on to create a marketing plan that doesn’t make you cringe

* The “ideal client” you created might have been perfect for past you—but is she still right for present you?

* What to do if your strategy feels off.

* What Lindsay really means by “heart-centered marketing” (and why the buzzword isn’t the whole story).

* You get to be visible on your terms.

* What it means to “hire yourself as a client.”
