More Than Just Tech: How Community and Self-Discovery Helped Annmarie Miles Thrive Online
Many of us think of tech as just learning how to use a tool, but real success comes when you go beyond the tech and focus on how it connects you to people, opportunities, and personal growth.
In this episode of This Mum Loves Tech, I chat with Annmarie Miles, a writer, podcaster, and business owner who has always embraced tech but realised that knowing how to use tech isn’t enough—it’s about using it in a way that helps you build confidence, find your community, and grow in ways you never expected.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re missing something in your online business (even if you know how to use all the tools), this episode will shift your perspective and inspire you to think differently about how you use tech.
Tech is Just the Start—It’s What You Do With It That Matters
Annmarie has always loved tech. From the early days of the internet to learning new digital tools, she’s never been afraid to dive in. But she discovered that tech alone isn’t enough—it’s what you do with it that truly matters.
What We Talk About in This Episode:
- Why learning tech is just one part of the journey—it’s how you apply it that makes the biggest difference.
- How finding the right community can boost your confidence, help you ask better questions, and push you to grow in new ways.
- The impact of personal development and self-discovery—understanding your strengths and goals is just as important as understanding how to use a tool.
- Knowing when to learn something new vs when to get expert help—why you don’t have to do everything alone.
Annmarie’s story is a reminder that tech isn’t just about skills—it’s about connection, confidence, and growth.
The Power of Community in Business Growth
One of the biggest turning points for Annmarie was realising that tech is easier to navigate when you have people around you.
- The right community gives you confidence. When you see others working through the same challenges, you realise you’re not alone.
- Asking questions is key. No one has all the answers, and sometimes, just knowing where to ask makes all the difference.
- Support makes learning fun. When you surround yourself with people on a similar journey, learning tech becomes something you enjoy rather than something you fear.
For anyone running a business online, finding the right support system can be the difference between struggling and thriving.
What’s Next for You?
Annmarie’s story is a great reminder that tech should never be a barrier, it should be a tool that supports your goals and helps you grow in ways you never expected.
Whether you’re exploring new platforms, starting a podcast, or trying to connect with your audience in a new way, remember that you don’t have to figure it all out alone.
