Bridge the gap between being your real self and being good at marketing
The Authentic Marketer Wisdom Academy helps solopreneurs, authors, coaches, and creatives like you get visible to the right clients without losing what makes you authentic, genuine and kind
Your work just flows
Being with your clients is easy. You drop in, understand what to do, and it all works. They get their dream home. They find that just right health approach. They gain confidence in themselves or their skills. Create transformation & better lives? Check.
You have solid skills and have been brave in setting up a business around them. But so far, it’s all just flowed. You’ve haven’t had to do a lot of traditional “marketing” yet. And now you do.
Maybe that new service or product has been tugging at you to come forth. Or you’ve hit a plateau and need a growth boost. Or your side hustle is ready to go full-time. Wherever you are, the bottom line your inkling that it’s time to do “real” marketing has got you questioning what's next.
The same skills that created your business can be your strength in marketing, you just need to learn how to transfer these skills from serving to selling.
You’ve done the hard part, now let's share it
Finding the business of your heart and getting clients in the door is actually the hard part. If you’ve done that, stop worrying and take a deep breath. Pat yourself on the back for a job well done.
The reason that you don’t know exactly what kind of marketing to do next is just a strategy question, not an indication that you don’t know what you’re doing.
It shouldn’t feel hard or confusing to choose your next steps in marketing. If it does, maybe you’re making it overly complicated or bringing some old baggage to the conversation.
That's why I created a friendly place to hang out with others, learn about marketing, and grow skills in a genuine way—The Authentic Marketer Wisdom Academy
I've been there, too
My first business consulting on branding and marketing with large companies just "happened" to me and I never had to market myself to keep it going.
Then five years ago I moved to a new area and started serving small business owners instead of big companies. Since then, I've spent thousands of dollars, hundreds of hours, and moved through countless courses to learn how solopreneur marketing is different from big company marketing.
I've shed hundreds of pounds in limiting beliefs, old stories, imposter syndrome feelings, and sabotaging behaviors. And I learned something along the way.
There is a path to find marketing that can feel good to you. You can even get excited to learn about it. Embracing this is when your business begins to be fulfilling on many levels. Because marketing, when done well, is a profound act of service.
I know that if you close the gap between where you are and where you want to be, you'll change the world. I think you may know that too.
Thankfully, there's a pathway to follow:
After hundreds of hours with clients, I've distilled down everything I've learned about solopreneur marketing to a simple pathway. One that takes care of the marketing details but also takes care of the person doing them. Because as a small business owner, you are your brand. So c’mon, get on this simple pathway and love your marketing while getting the results you want for your business. You’ve got this!!
The Authentic Marketer Wisdom Academy moves you from "I’m not sure what my next step in marketing is" across the gap to "I got this" with three types of holding:
Inspiration
Get inspired and reframe how you look at marketing so you can move forward from desire, not obligation.
LEARNING
Move at your own pace through live and recorded teachings choosing exactly what you need to know.
Support
Stop going it alone and get your questions answered by an actual person, not another video.
As a Wisdom Academy member, you'll have access to:
MONTHLY COACHING
Two live coaching calls each month where we can deep dive into marketing topics, learn new skills and get live coaching. This is a time to get step-by-step mentoring for the greatest forward movement in your business.
ONGOING GUIDANCE
An "anytime" mastermind forum to ask for real time feedback on your marketing efforts. It's like having your own marketing consultant on speed dial. Pop in with that nagging question "how do I...?" or give me the url or Google doc link, and I'll give you input on what to keep and what to change. There's no limit to how many questions you can ask, and you can do it every day!
MONTHLY TRAININGS
There are training videos, exercizes, and audio meditations to use at your convenience with how to's in marketing, topics that can grow your business, and teachings that will help you be more authentic and at ease in your marketing decisions. More are added each month.
COMMUNITY SUPPORT
If you want an accountability partner or just feedback from the group, we are a supportive community to one another. Being in business for yourself can be hard but it doesn't have to feel lonely.

IS THE WISDOM ACADEMY RIGHT FOR YOU?
Truthfully, marketing is not a one size fits all type of thing. So this academy can't be correct for everyone. Let's figure that out before you join, ok? I want you to be delighted with your decision so please consider:
It's FOR YOU if:
It's not a fit if:
I'm not trying to talk you OUT of joining, I'm trying to talk the RIGHT people in. Building a community of like minded people to support each other in growth takes total transparency about what we want and don't on our journeys. Be honest, if this doesn't call to you—don't do it. But if it does...I'll see ya on the inside. Mwah!
You can find your authentic marketer path but only if you take action
Here's what you'll get:
