Feeling overwhelmed by trying to be everywhere at once? Finding clarity in your digital marketing strategy is the real game-changer.

In this episode, Tona shares her personal journey from exhausting herself across multiple platforms to finding sustainable growth by focusing solely on her Facebook business page.

You’ll hear:
 • The burnout and frustration that comes from spreading yourself too thin across multiple platforms
 • How simplifying to one platform created space for deeper audience understanding
 • Why slow, steady growth with higher engagement is more valuable than chasing follower counts
 • The realization that clarity, not more hustle, is the missing piece for most entrepreneurs
 • How focusing on the right things rather than all the things leads to sustainable growth

👉 Quick Action Step: After you listen, pick one platform you enjoy most and commit to showing up there this week. Don’t worry about being everywhere. Start with clarity, not chaos.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Do you ever feel like you're posting everywhere,
doing all the things butnothing's working?
Man, I've been there and I knowhow exhausting it feels.
You're pulling so much energyinto your business, but it feels
like nothing is connecting.
When I first started with Callto Edify Boutique, I was on

(00:53):
every platform you could thinkof Instagram, twitter, facebook,
even YouTube.
To be honest, I was even onPinterest and, honestly, I felt
scattered.
I wasn't really connecting withmy audience.
Pain points because I waseverywhere and nowhere at the

(01:13):
same time and I'll be honestwith you, it led to frustration,
burnout and feeling like maybeI just wasn't cut out for this.
Have you ever felt that way?

(01:36):
The turning point came when Idecided to simplify.
I figured with Hayward DigitalMarketing.
I didn't want to be everywhereand nowhere.
I wanted to simplify oneplatform and grow there.
So I chose one place to reallyshow up my Facebook business
page.
Yeah, I know Some people sayFacebook business pages are dead

(01:57):
, but really what I realized iswhat I was doing was kind of
helping that process of it beingdead.
I decided, instead of trying todo it all, I would pour into
growing that one spaceorganically, and here's why it

(02:17):
worked.
It gave me breathing room toactually understand my audience.
It helped me to align what Iwas offering with what they
truly needed.
And you know what?
For the first time, I wasactually proud of my growth,
because it was mine.
It wasn't from chasing trendsor stretching myself too thin,

(02:40):
it was actually real connection.
And let me be honest, it wasn'tlike I grew from 100 followers
to 1,030 days.
No, it was just constant,steady, slow growth.
I might have went from 100followers to 143, but I noticed

(03:03):
that my engagement rates weregoing up and it felt like I was
really making more of an impact.
And that was the goal.
Not whether or not I had morefollowers than another person,
but did I have enough followersor was I getting more followers

(03:24):
than I first started off with?
Now, this whole experience itkind of lit a fire in me.
I realized that if I struggledthis much, then other
entrepreneurs must be strugglingtoo.
The missing piece wasn't effort,it wasn't more hustle, it was

(03:46):
clarity.
So I decided to createsomething I wish I had when I
was stuck, when I was firstcoming out, when I had no idea
what to do A simple, clearroadmap without gimmicks or
pressure.
That's how my ebook You're NotBehind, you Just Need Clarity,

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
