Ep. 28 Pinterest Strategy, Pattern Work, and Learning to Trust Your Body with Elaine Timms

Elaine Timms built a Pinterest strategy business that grew to 100K sessions/month, sold a blog for five figures, and has spent almost eight years helping entrepreneurs get their content working long after they hit publish. She's also someone who spent years in fight-or-flight without knowing it — outsmarting everything, including herself. In this conversation, Elaine and I talk about what actually shifted when she stopped following everyone else's rules — in her business, her body, and her creative life. We get into the energy over strategy philosophy she's built her work around (and where that phrase actually came from — credit to Chelsea Schreiner), why Pinterest might be the most nervous-system-friendly platform you're not using, and the fiction writing project that's been coming to her through her dreams. This one's for the business owner who's doing everything right and still wondering why something feels off. What we cover: What "energy over strategy" looks like in a real business decision Why slow growth isn't failure — it's a nervous system choice The pattern work that shifted Elaine's visibility wound Journaling: what to do with it after you write it How Elaine is merging her data brain with her creative one The fiction writing project she's finally giving herself permission to pursue Work with Elaine - elainetimms.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/elaine-timms/ https://www.instagram.com/elainetimmscreative/ https://elainetimms.kit.com/37b6e3c17c - Pinterest audit checklist https://elainetimms.com/pinterest-marketing-strategy-guide-for-beginners/ - Pinterest strategy guide Book a Free 15-min Identity Shift Call Subscribe to the pod: Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/730IxK6Le9bwgAwKQBbrfM?si=a649923b6d4f4a4b Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/her-identity-shift-nervous-system-regulation-somatic/id1896858957
