When Claire Smith first encountered social media, she wanted nothing to do with it, especially as a mum of three. But once she stepped into her business role, everything changed. In this uplifting episode, Claire shares how she went from being a Coca-Cola rep and recruitment consultant to founding Studio 5 Social, helping small businesses grow using Instagram and beyond.

We explore the mindset shift that turned her aversion to social media into a thriving career, the power of listening to your peers, and the joy of helping others build something meaningful. Claire also shares her top tools for staying organised, including Trello, Canva, and simple folder hacks on your phone that make content creation easier.

This episode covers authenticity, visibility, time-chunking, and why growth is about more than just likes or followers. Whether you're a business owner, a parent, or navigating a new work chapter, Claire's story will give you practical inspiration.
