What’s the real cost of internet fame? In this episode, Chris and Jodie Cook break down the hidden pressures of building a big online audience—relentless DMs, parasocial fans, and the constant demand for time and attention.

You’ll learn how to set boundaries, use automation to manage inbox overload, and price coaching calls in a way that protects your energy while increasing client results. Jodie also shares the challenges of authenticity online, the perks (and pitfalls) of recognition, and why clear systems are key to thriving in the spotlight.

This is a must-listen for creators, founders, and coaches who want to grow without burning out.
