54. Why Does Marketing Still Feel So Hard When My Business Is Already Successful?
Tue Jan 27 2026
If your business is doing well but marketing has started to feel heavy, frustrating, or exhausting, this episode is for you.
In today’s conversation, I answer a question I hear all the time from smart, capable women who’ve already built successful businesses:
Why does marketing still feel so hard when I’m doing so many things right?
The answer isn’t that you’re behind, unmotivated, or missing some secret. Often, marketing feels hardest after success—when you’ve reached the edge of what you can carry and manage on your own.
In this episode, I unpack:
Why marketing difficulty at this stage is a growth problem, not a failure
How doing “all the right things” can still feel draining when they’re disconnected
Why more content, more platforms, and more effort often make things worse
A simpler way to think about marketing as a connected whole—not scattered pieces
How clarity and connection can reduce the mental load marketing creates
If you’ve been feeling like marketing takes more energy than it should—or that you’re constantly starting from scratch—this episode offers reassurance, perspective, and permission to stop adding more and start connecting what you already have.
