Welcome back to the Messy Success Podcast. This episode is a behind-the-scenes look at how Elizabeth is approaching visibility, community, and growth differently as she plans for the year ahead. Instead of chasing platforms or algorithms, she’s focused on building an ecosystem, one rooted in relationships, repeatable processes, and shared momentum.

Elizabeth shares why she’s experimenting with Substack, how the Creative Economy is evolving, and what recent results have reaffirmed for her about scaling a business sustainably. If you’ve been feeling the pressure of social media shifts or questioning where to put your energy, this conversation offers a grounded, real-world perspective. Listen in, take what resonates, and let this be an invitation to think bigger than any one platform.
