Tuesday, May 27, 2025 • Duration 25:32

Have you ever felt like marketing is a daunting checklist of cold calls, pitches, and “numbers to hit”, things you have to do rather than want to do?

Norma Frahn knows that feeling all too well.

In this powerful conversation with Kristi Mitchell, Norma shares her raw story of moving from corporate America into health coaching, only to get caught in the swirl of “guruing”, the one-size-fits-all advice, the promised shortcuts to millionaire status, and the endless funnels and frameworks that didn’t fit her vision

Resisting Peer Pressure as a Business Owner: Choosing the Right Social Media Platforms

Season 1 · Episode 41

Tuesday, April 22, 2025 • Duration 22:25

In this episode, Kristi Mitchell sits down with content strategist and writer Alison Ver Halen to unpack a marketing misstep many entrepreneurs will relate to: giving in to the pressure to show up on Instagram... even when it doesn’t feel right.

Alison shares her journey of trying to make Instagram work for her B2B content marketing business—why she resisted it at first, how she committed fully, and ultimately why she decided to walk away. Together, Kristi and Alison discuss the importance of knowing your audience, trusting your gut, and choosing marketing tactics that align with your strengths, your goals, and your bandwidth.

If you’ve ever felt like you're doing a marketing tactic just because others say you “should,” this episode will give you permission to rethink that.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

Not every platform is for every business. And that’s okay.
Consistency > frequency when it comes to content and posting.
Your audience should always be front and center—go where they are, not where everyone else is.
Ask your clients directly where they hang out online before diving into a new platform.
Don’t ignore your gut. If something feels off or draining, it probably is.

🧠 Who This Episode Is For:

Business owners feeling overwhelmed by social media expectations
Marketers struggling to see ROI from Instagram or other platforms
Anyone looking for permission to not be everywhere online
