Hey besties! Welcome to the first episode of Your Marketing Bestie! After nearly two years and a lot of experimenting, I’ve finally rebranded this podcast, and I couldn’t be more excited to share what’s next.

In this episode, I’m sitting down solo for the first time to tell you why I decided to change the name and direction of the podcast, what you can expect from future episodes, and a little bit about my journey—from discovering my love for marketing to building my own agency.

I want this podcast to feel like a conversation with your go-to friend for all things marketing, career growth, and entrepreneurship. So grab your favorite drink, hit play, and let’s dive in!

P.S. If you’re loving the vibes, I’d be so grateful if you left a review or rated the show—it helps so much! 💕 All my links are below. Let’s connect!
