In this episode of Confessions from the Home Office, I share how I built my marketing business around real life, not hustle culture, trends, or constant reinvention.

I started my business when my son was in preschool, during a season where extra time and energy simply did not exist. What I needed was work that fit into my life, not work that took it over. That mindset shaped everything that followed.

As life became fuller through single parenthood and growing responsibilities, I learned quickly that marketing cannot depend on motivation, memory, or late-night effort. When life is full, systems stop being optional. Marketing has to keep moving, even when you are tired or pulled in multiple directions.

Most business owners are not bad at marketing, they are overloaded. Marketing fails not because people do not care, but because it requires consistent attention in a world that already demands too much. Posting is only a small part of the work. Planning, organization, and follow-through are what actually make marketing effective.

I explain why I built Market Momentum around stability instead of urgency, momentum instead of starting over, and reliability instead of reaction. The best marketing often feels boring, and that is usually a sign it is working.

If you have ever felt guilt about marketing or believed you should enjoy doing it more, this episode is for you. Not wanting to do your own marketing does not mean you do not care about your business. Often, it means you are running it.

This episode is about capacity, mental load, and building marketing that works quietly in the background of your real life.

In today’s episode, Wendi shares the behind-the-scenes story of how she finally finished her SOPs, ahead of schedule, and why bringing on a new team member was the push she didn’t know she needed.

If you’ve ever felt like your entire business is running beautifully… but only inside your head, this episode is your permission slip to stop storing your systems in your brain and start documenting what actually keeps your business moving.

Wendi talks through how she has used Trello for years, how the boards were organized but the knowledge behind the boards wasn’t, and how everything finally started working together once someone else needed to step into the system. From refining steps, to filling in the “obvious” gaps, to realizing how much mental energy was being spent remembering things, this episode is a reminder that systems don’t just support your business, they support your brain.

She also shares the unexpected bonus of bringing her daughter Peri onto the team, why Trello is now officially her jam, and why systems are living creatures that will keep evolving as your business grows.

If you’ve been winging it, relying on memory, or waiting for the “perfect time” to finish your SOPs, consider this your nudge: start now. Get the business out of your head so you can finally breathe, plan, and scale with confidence.

If you’ve ever opened Instagram or Facebook and felt your brain turn into static, not because you lack ideas, but because life is just loud, this episode is for you!

This week I'm talking about what’s really going on when you “don’t know what to post,” and get this... it’s rarely a lack of creativity. It’s overload. And you’re not alone!

Between juggling client work and caring for my very dramatic, cone-wearing, knee surgery recovering, Golden Retriever Lola, I'm talking about getting unstuck when too many ideas compete for space. You'll learn the real reason content feels hard, and the simple mindset shift that instantly brings clarity.

In this short episode, you’ll learn:

• Why your brain isn’t empty, it’s overcrowded with tabs open everywhere

• The quick three-part filter to sort your ideas fast

• Why focusing on “always educating” can actually block connection

• The three easiest content types that build trust: confessions, small lessons, and behind-the-scenes moments

• How to build a simple weekly content engine that keeps you consistent without burning you out

Embracing real-life moments (such as chaos, caffeine, crate-whining dogs included) makes your content more relatable and more effective than any overly polished, expert-level post ever could. This episode is a reminder that you don’t need more ideas; you need better filters and a simple system that works even when life is a lot.

If you’re feeling scattered, tired, or creatively stuck, this episode is your reset button.
