    Ep 18 | Zoë Dew: Trusting in data, divine timing & your network

    In today's ever guest episode, Zoë shares her Self Trust Story, talking about hitting a low in business last year and how she moved through it, trusting the network around her and the timing that things could only get better. Zoë Dew is a strategist specialising in helping small businesses scale sustainably, and without sacrificing themselves in the process. She wants to help people finally detach themselves from the motto of “work hard and you’ll be rewarded”, and show them that instead they can be rewarded by taking their foot off the pedal. With a previous career in sales, immense strategic skill and a love for deep-diving into data, she helps people get clear on how to grow, and then supports them in making it happen. She’s both proudly neurodivergent and chronically online, so loves to talk about memes as much as she does masking.

    Ep 13 | The messy middle of self-doubt & business shifts

    I’m 3 months into this podcast – and things are shifting. Today’s episode is part behind-the-scenes, part therapy session, and a full reflection on what happens when the path ahead isn’t as clear as it used to be. I’m sharing the full story behind a recent Instagram post, the conversations that helped me start making decisions again, and the quiet realisation that it might be time for Social By Nao to evolve. This isn’t an exciting announcement. It’s still the messy middle. It’s fear, doubt, and the discomfort of growth – and what it looks like to sit in it and share before I've got it tied up in a bow. Whether you're also navigating a pivot, overthinking your next move, or just wondering where your business is heading next – I hope this episode reminds you that you’re not alone. - Come and say hi over on Instagram: @socialbynao Or have a nosey at the Social By Nao website: www.socialbynao.co.uk
