LinkedIn, Instagram, AI, algorithms, content chaos… 2025 was a lot.
If you’ve felt whiplash trying to market your firm this year, you’re not alone.
In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what 2025 really looked like for me as a marketer, mom, empty nester, and business owner living in Spain plus how I’m shifting into 2026 with more flow and less forcing.
In this episode, I chat about:
✨ Why my word of the year was “reset” (and how that actually played out)
✨ The messy middle of empty nesting, business pivots, and solitude
✨ Stepping away from the agency model and back into solopreneur life
✨ Why social feels noisy, numbing, and weird and what’s actually going on
✨ Instagram, LinkedIn, Threads, Facebook: where I’m showing up in 2026 (and why)
✨ My new word for 2026, “flow,” and what it means for your marketing
If you’ve been wondering how to show up next year without burning out, this one’s for you.
