Starting Over? These 3 Tools Will Help You Build From Scratch
If you're ready to bet on yourself and your professional life for the first time, I've got you.
Hey love,
If you’ve been affected by the recent wave of layoffs, I just want to say: I’m so sorry.
I know how disorienting and emotional this moment can be, because I’ve been there.
Twice.
The first time, I was let go from a slimy company I was already half out the door from. But the second time?
That one hurt.
It was a company I loved. A place where I finally felt like I belonged.
And still, one meeting later, I was back at zero.
That second layoff is what pushed me to finally start The Iris Agency.
It was terrifying. I had no plan, no degree in marketing, no business background — just a feeling that maybe this time… I could bet on myself.
So if you’re in that place right now; unsure, a little scared, wondering if now is the time to forge your own path, I see you.
And if marketing feels overwhelming or like a foreign language, I promise you: you don’t have to figure it all out alone.
Your Digital Marketing Messenger is for the beginners. For the brave ones starting over. For the ones finally listening to that voice inside that says “I want more freedom, more impact, and more alignment.”
Here are 3 tools (and 3 step-by-step GPT prompts) to help you begin, grow, and market yourself in a way that feels real.
