    Episode 38: Pinterest Didn’t Take Too Long — We Just Gave It Time A Real Case Study for Business Owners Tired of Social Media

    If you’ve ever said (or thought), “Pinterest takes too long,” this episode is for you. Today, I’m breaking down a real Pinterest case study from the health & wellness space no viral moments, no massive ad spend, and no overnight success stories. This client is a perimenopause nutrition coach and busy mama, helping other busy mamas feel better through food and sustainable habits. After 9 months of organic Pinterest strategy, we layered in a small Pinterest ads test  and the results quietly snowballed into email growth, membership sales, and aligned conversations. This episode is a reminder that Pinterest doesn’t work fast… it works deep. And when you stop treating it like social media and start treating it like a long-term traffic system, everything changes.   What You’ll Learn in This Episode Why “Pinterest takes too long” is the wrong way to think about growth What 9 months of organic Pinterest posting actually builds behind the scenes How a $250 ad test led to clicks, email subscribers, and paid memberships Why patience and refinement matter more than speed on Pinterest How Pinterest supports business owners who are tired of showing up daily on social media   Episode Highlights 9 months of organic Pinterest posting (10–25 saves, 5–10 clicks/month) $69.81 ad spend resulting in 66,000+ impressions One pin driving 842 outbound clicks at ~$0.07 per click 231 new email subscribers in one month New monthly and annual membership sales A real-life example of what “trusting the process” actually looks like   If this episode gave you a lightbulb moment — or sparked a question — I’d love to hear from you. 💬 DM me on Instagram and tell me: Your biggest takeaway Or the biggest question you have about Pinterest Those conversations often inspire future episodes.   🎧 Listen now to Pinterest Coffee Chats wherever you get your podcasts.

    Episode 37: Why Posting More Isn’t the Answer (and What Actually Moves the Needle)

    If you’ve ever felt like the answer to slow growth is posting more, this episode is for you. In this episode of Pinterest Coffee Chats, we’re unpacking why posting more content rarely leads to better results and why so many business owners feel exhausted trying to keep up. The issue usually isn’t consistency, motivation, or effort. It’s where and how your content is placed. This conversation is a gentle but powerful reframe around content, visibility, and sustainability especially for business owners who want marketing that works with real life, not against it. You don’t need to post more.You need your content to live longer. When your content is placed intentionally, it can keep working for your business without requiring constant effort or daily presence. In This Episode, We Cover: Why posting more doesn’t automatically lead to more visibility or sales How most platforms are designed around recency, not longevity The difference between publishing content and placing content strategically Why constant posting leads to burnout — even for capable business owners What actually moves the needle when it comes to sustainable marketing How to start thinking about content as infrastructure, not output 🎧 Listen now to Pinterest Coffee Chats wherever you get your podcasts.

    Episode 36: Why Burnout Is a Content Strategy Problem (Not a Time Management Problem)

    If you’ve ever felt exhausted by your own marketing  even when your business is “doing well”  this episode is for you. In this conversation, we’re breaking down why burnout usually isn’t a personal failure or a time management issue, but a sign that your content strategy was never built to support real life. You don’t need another planner. You don’t need more discipline. You need a system that works even when you step away.   In this episode, we talk about: Why most content strategies require constant presence The hidden cost of daily posting and platform-chasing How burnout often comes from strategy design, not effort What sustainable content actually looks like for real business owners How to build visibility that supports your life instead of competing with it This episode is especially for busy business owners, moms, and service providers who want their marketing to feel calmer not heavier.   🎧 Listen now to Pinterest Coffee Chats wherever you get your podcasts.

    Episode 34: Why Consistency Isn’t About Discipline It’s About Design (or workflow)

    Why Consistency Isn’t About Discipline - It’s About Design or workflows If you’ve ever told yourself, “I just need to be more consistent,” I want you to listen to this episode with an open mind because I’m about to flip that belief on its head. In today’s episode, I’m talking about why consistency isn’t actually about willpower, motivation, or discipline. It’s about design building systems that support you even when life is busy, messy, or unpredictable. This conversation is especially for business owners who are juggling clients, family, and real life and are tired of feeling guilty for not “keeping up” online. In this episode, I talk about:  Why discipline eventually fails Why motivation and willpower aren’t sustainable long-term How hustle-based marketing leads to burnout The cost of relying on daily effort to stay visible  What consistency by design really means Creating systems that work even when you’re offline Choosing platforms that support long-term visibility Building workflows that reuse content instead of demanding more How Pinterest supports consistency by design Why Pinterest doesn’t require daily posting or constant engagement How keywords and evergreen content do the heavy lifting What it looks like to batch, schedule, and step away  without disappearing  How to design consistency that fits your life Where you might be relying on discipline instead of structure Questions to audit your current marketing systems How to build visibility that supports your energy and season of life The biggest takeaway: If consistency feels hard, it’s probably not a discipline problem it’s a design problem. This episode will help you rethink how you show up in your business and give you permission to build marketing systems that feel sustainable, supportive, and aligned with real life. 🎧 Listen now to Pinterest Coffee Chats wherever you get your podcasts.

    Episode 33: The Difference Between Traffic, Attention, and Sales

    The Difference Between Traffic, Attention, and Sales (And Why Confusing Them Is Costing You Money) If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the right things posting consistently, showing up on social media, getting likes and views but still not seeing the sales or growth you want… this episode is for you. Today, I’m breaking down something I see business owners mix up all the time: attention, traffic, and sales. They are notthe same thing and when we treat them like they are, marketing starts to feel exhausting and ineffective. In this episode, I’m walking you through how each one actually works, why attention alone won’t grow your business, and how platforms like Pinterest fit into a smarter, more sustainable strategy. In this episode, I cover: What “attention” really is: Likes, views, comments, shares, and story replies Why attention feels validating but doesn’t always lead to action The limitations of attention-based platforms What traffic actually means: Clicks to your website, blog, podcast, or offers Why traffic shows intent, not just interest The difference between social traffic and search-based traffic  Why traffic doesn’t automatically equal sales: The role of funnels, freebies, and nurture sequences Why clarity matters more than volume Where most business owners lose people after the click Where Pinterest fits into all of this: Why Pinterest is a search engine, not social media How Pinterest traffic is cold but intentional Why evergreen content creates long-term opportunities  The biggest takeaway: Attention builds awareness. Traffic creates opportunity. Sales come from clarity and connection. If you’ve been chasing engagement but still feeling stuck, this episode will help you rethink your strategy and focus on what actually moves the needle. 🎧 Listen now to Pinterest Coffee Chats wherever you get your podcasts.
