Marketing #Unfiltered
Sophia
In “Marketing #Unfiltered," you don’t just learn awesome stuff to help you figure out marketing, you get the BTS scoop of building a business — the hilarious, the traumatic, and the “omg thank god I’m not the only one.” Hi! ✋🏻 I’m Sophia Parra and I’m a social media strategist for coaches. For years I ran an agency where I helped multiple six figure and seven figure coaches create content and strategies that build their following and drive traffic to their offers. My guests and I swap biz horror stories AND share notes around the strategies that took things to the next level. I also show up solo twice a week to answer YOUR marketing questions. So if you’re craving a podcast that feels like the perfect mix of biz talk with a coach and a catch up with your friends; grab a margarita and pull up a chair. I’ve got painfully relatable stories to make you laugh (or cry 🤣), and strategies and perspectives that will help you show up consistently and effectively.

Ep 57 | How cancer changed my life + business, with Christie Miller
Today we have Christie Miller on the show! Christie was diagnosed with breast cancer last year and has been SUCH an inspiration to me. Actually, her mindset has ALWAYS inspired me. She’s one of those women who will put her mind to something and absolutely achieve it. In fact, she has won THREE cars in her life. One of them was a Porsche, and the other was a Tesla!!! And in all 3 instances, she visualized herself winning, journaled, and really paid attention to her thoughts. So when she was diagnosed with cancer – something that would send most people into a spiral – she used all of her go-to mindset techniques to beat it without traditional treatment. I am enormously inspired by this woman, who is a former client and now a dear friend. Listen in to hear about: ➡️Her diagnoses ➡️How Cancer changed her life and business for the better ➡️Mindset techniques she swears by during her launches Then, at the end, I have an extra treat for you. Christie is actually an expert on free 5-Day challenges, so while we spent most of our time talking about her resilient mindset, I also designed a game of sorts to help her share her unique approach to 5-day challenges so you can have an extra tool in your toolbox!

Ep 56 | How to connect with strangers on the internet
Today, we’re takin’ a trip through my DMs. I got a great question from “Jamie.” She understands the importance of speaking to strangers on the internet if you want to create collaborative relationships and grow in a nurtured way on Instagram. But… she’s the kinda gal who sits alone at a party counting down the hours until she can leave instead of trying to meet friends. So … *HOW* does this happen for someone who’s not a social butterfly?The truth is, this will be difficult for someone who doesn’t go out of their way to speak to people. But – it WILL get easier when you show up just to be human and stop over-thinking it. And just to prove my point, I took a gander through my DMs and read my last 5 DMs to strangers along with the context around why I was messaging them. I hope you see that – in this stage of messaging – the only objective is to create a genuine connection. I’m not approaching this with a step 1, step 2 or step 3 strategy. I’m not trying to trick people into talking to me so that I can sell them something. I’m doing what social media was designed for, being social. And when you see these DM examples, I hope you’ll see that this does not have to be complicated AT ALL. In fact, it can be the easiest and most effective thing you do for your business.
