Introverts Can Do Scary Things
And Market Too
In this episode, I share marketing and messaging tips for introverts and ideas for doing scary things to grow your business. A follower requested this topic, and I was excited since I'm super extroverted but know many of you aren’t. I explained how introverts can still show up, set boundaries, and make real connections without feeling drained.

I also shared my client Laura’s A to Z business guide and used "MARCI" as an acronym for five powerful steps: master your topic, add value, build relationships, connect consistently, and ignore negativity. I told personal stories and encouraged everyone to try scary things to build confidence and succeed, no matter your personality.
