If you've ever felt overwhelmed by content planning, this episode is for you.

In Day 3 of the Creator Brand Mini Series, we're talking all about how to create a content plan that actually fits your life. One that adapts to your energy, your schedule, and your season of business—so you can show up consistently without burning out.

Inside this episode, I'll walk you through:

• Why your content plan should reflect your real-life capacity (not your ideal one)

• How to make your calendar move with you based on energy, launches, or life

Plus, you'll walk away with a super practical next step to start mapping out your own aligned content calendar using a structure that actually works with your life, not against it.

If you've ever felt like your content isn't landing—or like you're just posting because you "should"—this episode is for you.

In Day 2 of the Creator Brand Mini Series, we're talking all about how to create content that actually connects with your audience. The kind that builds trust, sparks conversation, and makes people say, "I've been waiting for this to show up in my feed."

I'll walk you through:

• Why most service providers are stuck in the "how-to" content loop
• How to shift from recycled tips to content that reflects you
• The 3–5 Content Conversations your brand should be rooted in
• What a signature content series looks like (with examples)
• How to go from "day in the life" to unselfish storytelling that invites your audience in

Plus, you'll walk away with a super practical next step to help you start creating connection-driven content—without the pressure to overshare or become someone you're not.

If your content has felt stale, uninspired, or like you're just posting to post… this episode is for you.

We're kicking off Day 1 of the Creator Brand Mini Series by talking about one of the biggest shifts you can make in your business: going from just being a service provider to building a creator brand that actually connects with your audience.

In this episode, I'm breaking down what that shift really looks like, why just showing your work isn't enough anymore, and how to start becoming the face of your brand—even if that feels a little scary at first. I'll also share a few real-life examples (like a wedding photographer client and a rebrand inspired by The White Lotus) to show you exactly how this plays out in action.

Plus, you'll walk away with a tangible next step to help you define your brand voice, values, and what you actually want to be known for—using the free Notion workbook linked below!
