About this episode

In this Social Media Decoded episode, strategist and “operations unicorn” Steph Rubio shares how to combine mindset + operations to stop undercharging, clarify your offer suite, and show up online with confidence. We dig into specificity and simplicity—the two levers that make your messaging convert—plus the systems that keep your business running like a well-oiled machine while you sell. Steph gets real about imposter syndrome, visibility fears, and the gritty choices that built her resilience and results.

What You’ll Learn

  • Specificity > wide nets: how clear positioning attracts the right buyers fast
  • Simplify to scale: streamline your offer suite so people instantly “get it”
  • Visibility without the ick: show up, sell, and stay authentic on social
  • Mindset that moves money: ditch self-limiting beliefs and price with confidence
  • Operations that support sales: practical systems for delivery, follow-up, and consistency

Who It’s For

Women entrepreneurs, coaches, and creatives who are ready to be seen, charge their worth, and scale sustainably without complicated funnels.
