What's holding you back on LinkedIn?


Hi Reader!
​
It's that weird week between Christmas and New Year.

That awkward time where no one knows what day it is or what you should be doing.

Our matching family PJs just arrived yesterday. (Yep, dropped the ball on that one). But I'm wearing them now because why not.🙃

I'm taking a much-needed break this week, so I'm cheating a little...instead of my usual newsletter, I want to flip it.

I'm guessing LinkedIn is a thorn in your 2026 side

What areas are you struggling with?

A. Staring at a blinking cursor and not sure what to write about?
B. Looking at analytics and not sure what's actually meaningful?
C. Seeing low numbers and wondering what you're doing wrong?
D. How to 'add stories' to your posts?
E. Not sure how to start conversations in DMs
F. People like posts but never convert to clients
G. Afraid of being "too salesy" vs. "not selling enough"

(The list goes on...)

Whatever is holding you back and pinching that side of yours - I'd love to hear about it.

Reply to this email and tell me.

My guess? If you're struggling with something on LinkedIn, so are many others reading this newsletter.

For me? I'm working on sharing more personal stories

Like the time the president of Nokia asked for my resume.

Or the cease and desist I got from a former employer.

Stories I've been wanting to share but not feeling confident about.

I'm a private person. (I know, you wouldn't guess that now - I don't even use social media in my personal life!)

So being this open? It's honestly just hard and uncomfortable.

I overthink it. I worry about judgment. I worry it's "too personal."

But here's the thing: My top-performing posts and newsletters? The ones that lead to the best conversations and signed clients?

→ The personal ones. (almost strange how that works, isn’t it?!)

(I've got a question I ask myself before I share any personal post now, and it's been serving me well. If that's an area you're struggling with, let me know - I'll share it in a newsletter.)​
​

Anywhos, I want y'all to feel confident taking on LinkedIn this year. 🙌 I know it can be a frustrating platform - but there is SO much opportunity on it, if you haven't discovered that yet, I'm determined to change that.

Hope you had the best holidays so far and that your end of 2025 is restful and laugh-filled.

See you on the flip side!
Natasha

P.S. Seriously, hit reply. I read every single one. Let's figure this out together.

P.S.2. Just a few spots left in my next cohort! Want deets? Respond "LFG" and I'll share!

Hey Reader, I was recently a guest on The Business Owner’s Journey podcast with Nick Berry. And I’m still pinching myself a little because this isn’t just any podcast.

His show is all about shortening the learning curve for business owners - getting experienced entrepreneurs to pull back the curtain and share real lessons....

Hey Reader, Question for you: if you don't tell people how to work with you, how will they know how to work with you? Really obvious question, I know, but I find myself saying it to people all the time.I get it - we're not trying to be salesy on LinkedIn. And don’t get me wrong, it's totally okay to share promotional posts every so often. You should! The thing about LinkedIn…we don't want to FEEL like we're being sold to. But, I’m still selling in just about every post.The loophole? The P.S....

Hi Reader, A top creator asked me something interesting at the end of last year. "Are you feeling the algorithm change? I used to get 30,000 impressions. Now I'm getting a fraction of that." Honestly? I hadn't noticed. Not because my reach is magical. I've never gone viral. Never had those big numbers. But my business is better than it's ever been. But There Was a Change in the Algorithm: LinkedIn quietly rolled out something called 360Brew. It's one massive AI model that replaced thousands...
