Have you ever spent hours creating content, posting and engaging on social media...but not gotten the results you thought you would?

In this episode, I sit down with marketing mentor Polly Pollock to talk about why so many entrepreneurs, especially those with ADHD or other forms of neurodivergence, get stuck in a cycle of chasing visibility without building a marketing system that consistently leads to clients.

Instead of relying on social media as the foundation of your business, Polly shares her energy-first approach to marketing.

We discuss how to build visibility through collaborations, networking, speaking opportunities, and podcast guesting, how to nurture relationships through an email list you actually own, and how to create a simple sales process that feels natural instead of pushy.

We also discuss:

• Why "one-size-fits-all" marketing advice often does more harm than good
• Using social media as an amplifier rather than the foundation of your marketing plan
• The role dopamine plays in our marketing habits and why social media may be slowing your business growth rather than accelerating it
• How to choose marketing strategies that fit your capacity, energy, and life
• Replacing "fake dopamine" activities with actions that generate real business results

If you've ever felt trapped on the content creation hamster wheel or wondered whether there's a better way to market your business, this conversation offers a refreshing alternative built around relationships, sustainability, and strategies that actually fit the way you work.
