Running ads doesn’t have to feel complicated, expensive, or out of reach.

In this episode of Moms Who Build, Mariah introduces Brooklyn Grotte, a Minnesota-based mom of three, luxury photographer, and Meta Ads strategist who helps women grow their businesses with small, smart ad strategies that actually work.

Brooklyn shares how she went from $20,000 in debt and struggling to book clients to building two thriving businesses while raising her kids and redefining what success looks like as a mom and entrepreneur.

This conversation is a masterclass in resourcefulness and resilience. Brooklyn and Mariah talk about the messy middle of pivots, starting small with just a few dollars a day, and creating offers that truly connect with your audience. You’ll walk away realizing that ads don’t need to be intimidating or require a massive budget. Clarity, consistency, and a little bit of courage go a long way.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

How Brooklyn built two successful businesses while raising three kids
The truth about running ads that actually convert (even on $1 a day)
Why authenticity and raw, unpolished content perform best
The mindset shift that helped her move from fear to freedom
How community and connection fuel her growth and confidence
