325: A Marketing Framework that Feels Good for You and Your Audience with Wendy Kendall [Marketing Series]

We’re continuing our series on how marketing is changing and new approaches you can take to more effectively connect with your audiences and prospective clients.

Two weeks ago, I kicked off this series on how we’re ditching the traditional hero’s journey framework for marketing and how here at SYB we’re approaching marketing.

Last week, I talked to Cara Steinmann about relationship marketing and strategic collaborations.

Today, I’m excited to have on the podcast Wendy Kendall, who is a Chartered Psychologist and a co-founder of The Self Led Practice, the health virtual workplace for independent mental health practitioners.

I invited Wendy to come on the podcast because a few months ago she shared a post on LinkedIn about what she calls “regenerative marketing”, a framework she developed to better serve her clients.

(You know we love frameworks!)

I was intrigued because it aligned so well with how I was thinking about a better approach to marketing.

I have a huge light bulb moment towards the end of our conversation, so be sure to listen to the end.

Wendy and I talk about:

• Why traditional marketing approaches didn’t sit well with her or her clients
• Pain points and problems = why so many of us don’t like to lead with this in our marketing and what to do instead
• What “regenerative marketing” is
• How Wendy approaches her marketing, including on LinkedIn
• The huge light bulb moment I have when Wendy mentions “survivor bias” in the context of social media marketing

Become Bookable Live Online Workshop - April 15, 2026
If you want to speak more but you’re not sure where to start or your efforts haven’t produced the results you want, I’m hosting a live online workshop called “Become Bookable: How to Get Speaking Invitations” on Wednesday, April 15th.

A lot of brilliant women assume they just need to pitch themselves more. But the real reason speakers get invited isn’t because they pitch harder — it’s because they’re positioned as bookable.

In this 3-hour interactive workshop live on Zoom, I’ll show you how speakers actually get invited — and help you clarify the positioning that makes event organizers say yes.
