Marketing Gurus Beware: A Quick Rant on Authenticity and the Old-School Wisdom of Sacred Medicine

(thank you in advance for indulging my rant)

Hey Amazing Souls,

Grab your virtual armor because today, I'm coming to you with a double shot of unfiltered thoughts. Something is irking me, and it's time to spill the tea.

Marketing Madness

I had a social marketing marketer guru tell me this morning that I needed to push on the pain points of my “potential clients”.

And…..you know, I've been told to follow the rules of marketing, play the game, and maybe, just maybe, I'll strike gold. Well, here's the thing – I've never been one to follow blindly, especially to advice that doesn’t align with my value system.

Why?

Because we're more than just "potential clients" with pain points waiting to be exploited. We're a tribe of seekers, rebels, and warriors on a quest for a richer life. So, sorry marketing gurus, but I won't be pushing pain points. We're here for empowerment, healing, and authenticity.

Whether you're diving into the sacred medicine for growth or tackling specific emotional battles, you're here for something deeper. And that's what makes us a tribe.

Let's get real. – I've never been one to follow the current marketing rules. They say I should exploit your pain, but why? We're all carrying our own baggage, and we're all fighting our own battles. Why should I capitalize on that? My mission has always been about empowerment. It's about guiding you towards healing, self-discovery, and navigating life with a bit more ease.

And you know what's even more rebellious? Despite not following the mainstream marketing playbook, every program I promote tends to sell out. Maybe because authenticity resonates louder than manipulation.

Do I want to strike gold? No. I want to empower people. Period. Full stop.

Unlike the influencer culture fixated on sheer numbers, my mission is rooted in authentic support rather than amassing ego-driven followers. I don't believe in hoarding information; instead, my focus is on providing genuine assistance. Those who choose to work with me 1:1 or subscribe to my newsletter are seeking more than just content — they are investing in themselves, in their personal growth, and in the transformative journey towards a more profound existence. It's not about gatekeeping; it's about fostering a community of individuals committed to their own empowerment and well-being.

I've got no time for manipulative tactics. We're here for authenticity, for embracing every damn part of this wild ride. Thank you for being part of this community, for choosing authenticity over the typical BS, and for being the awesome human you are.

Cheers to real talk and a journey that's uniquely ours!

With rebellious spirit,

Alice
