If content approvals are slowing you down, stressing you out, or making you want to chuck your calendar out the window—this one’s for you.

In this episode, I’m sharing the exact approval workflows I’ve built inside my agency to reduce back-and-forth, keep clients on track, and finally stop chasing feedback. You’ll hear what actually works (and what doesn’t), why we ditched scattered approvals forever, and how to choose the right tool—Canva or ClickUp—based on your business stage.

We’ll cover:

• The real reason content approvals break down (and how to fix it)
• Why multiple feedback channels = guaranteed chaos
• The Canva setup that’s perfect for solo SMMs
• The ClickUp workflow that saves my agency hours every week
• How to track status, simplify reviews, and keep clients engaged

No fluff. Just real systems that save time, reduce stress, and support sustainable growth.
