🔑 Social Media Boundaries & Success on Substack — with Dacy Gillespie
Description
This one goes out to all our listeners who are still trying to make it work on social media!
Today I’m joined by Dacy Gillespie, a weight inclusive, anti-diet personal stylist who has grown her business online over the past decade and is now navigating a major shift from Instagram to Substack.
Together, we talk about:
- The high-stress worlds of music, teaching, arts admin & academia
- Why Dacy started working in fashion — even though she felt like a total outsider
- The role that Instagram plays in Dacy’s business
- How Dacy has right-sized her business for her capacity
- Ways to navigate the highs & lows of a fluctuating client load
- Why Dacy started her Substack newsletter & how it’s grown to over 10,000 subscribers
- How to market your work when you hate the feeling of selling yourself
- “is it possible to be an ethical influencer?”
