🔹 Episode Summary:
 This week on Breakthrough with Coach B, I’m joined by my longtime collaborator and social media partner, Katie Dempsey of Brand Ambition. Since January 2022, Katie and I have been working together to keep my content consistent, customized, and aligned with who I am as a real estate coach and entrepreneur. In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on what it really looks like to hand off your social media—and how to do it without losing your voice in the process.

Katie shares her journey from wellness centre marketing coordinator to agency founder, working with clients (40–60% of them REALTORS®!) who are ready to get serious about their online presence. We get into camera confidence, systems that save your sanity, and the mindset shift you need to make before hiring a social media manager. If you've ever felt stuck between “I should post more” and “I don’t want to look like a narcissist”… this one’s for you.
