Let's Talk About Showing Up When Life Gets Hard

May 21, 2024 • Amanda Casinha-Ginther • Episode 18

Here’s the thing about growing a business: you need to just get up and do the damn thing… even on those days when life feels hard. If you sometimes struggle to find the motivation to make your moves, you’re not alone. Literally no one has their sh*t together all the time — not even the shiny business gurus posting branded Reels daily.

But when grief enters the picture, doing the damn thing can sometimes feel impossible.

Grief is a super-intense human experience that impacts all areas of our lives. Even if you’re head-over-heels for the work that you do, grief can make it hard to even respond to your emails, let alone create content or continue a launch.

This week’s episode of Marketing Sucks explores how we can still show up in a healthy way when life feels very, VERY hard — while giving ourselves the grace and patience that we deserve.

Marketing sucks. Let’s learn together. Hit play to discover:‌ ‌
