Being seen.Megan sits down with Amy Carlson, founder of Sand & Pine Creative, to talk about what it really takes to show up in your business with authenticity, vulnerability, and self-trust.Amy helps women-owned and community-based businesses build marketing ecosystems that actually make sense, feel sustainable, and reflect who they are. In this conversation, she shares how she shifted from social media management to a more holistic, connection-driven approach to marketing... and how women entrepreneurs can do the same.
