You’d talk about it for months, post the photos, and put it on your speaker reel. So why does 200 views on a video feel like failure? In this solo episode of Between Meetings & Motherhood, host Alexa Starks breaks down why mom founders feel so cringe about posting online, and how one reframe can get you to hit publish. Cringe is fear of what strangers think of you, and those strangers aren’t paying your bills. Alexa shares what her first LinkedIn and Instagram posts felt like, why confidence comes after action instead of before it, and why you’ve already done something far more exposing than posting a carousel: you grew and birthed a baby. In this episode: * The 200 people in a room reframe: why 200 views is a packed event, not a flop * The math: five posts a week at 200 views a day is 10,000 new people seeing your business * Why cringe is really fear, and how to find where it shows up in your body * Why a stranger’s opinion shouldn’t decide how you show up in your business * The corporate-to-entrepreneur mindset shift: you can’t care about everyone’s opinion anymore * Why confidence comes from doing, and the “but did you die?” test for posting * Why it took months of daily posting before LinkedIn and Instagram took off * Why most businesses quit around month two, and what 40 weeks of showing up looks like * Your homework: post the cringy thing today, tag Alexa, and she’ll reshare it Posting is easier when someone’s cheering you on.
