Episode 38: Pinterest Didn’t Take Too Long — We Just Gave It Time A Real Case Study for Business Owners Tired of Social Media

If you’ve ever said (or thought), “Pinterest takes too long,” this episode is for you. Today, I’m breaking down a real Pinterest case study from the health & wellness space no viral moments, no massive ad spend, and no overnight success stories. This client is a perimenopause nutrition coach and busy mama, helping other busy mamas feel better through food and sustainable habits. After 9 months of organic Pinterest strategy, we layered in a small Pinterest ads test  and the results quietly snowballed into email growth, membership sales, and aligned conversations. This episode is a reminder that Pinterest doesn’t work fast… it works deep. And when you stop treating it like social media and start treating it like a long-term traffic system, everything changes.
