A lot happened this past year in the way of content creation.
If you aren’t into videoing yourself performing dance moves, lip-syncing, and you don't have a cute little dog dressed in a tutu to record... you may have felt that you had a hard time keeping up with the fast-moving content train.
You’re not behind. You're OK. I'm OK. We're OK!
In this episode, I'll share five little content lessons from the past year that I'm taking forward with me into 2023 to help improve my message, content, and engage with my community more in the New Year!
I get into how content creation can be more FUN when we are:
- Favoring consistency vs. frequency (and choosing what that looks like for us)
- Infusing MORE of ourselves and our personality into our content!
- Crediting the work of others
- Creating with cohesion
- And showing people we care!
This episode is jam-packed with energy, reminders, and resources!

This episode is one of many I plan to share around organization, routines, systems, and structures for more productivity, peace, and ease.
I often get asked questions like:
- What on earth do you DO all day in your business!?
- How do you structure your day?
- What's your routine?
- How do you stay so organized?
- And from those who aren’t entrepreneurs, I get asked how I stay on track and know what to do without a boss telling me what I'm doing every day
In this episode, I'll get into the types of tasks we have as entrepreneurs and what four main buckets they tend to fall into. I'll share how I structure my days and weeks and how we might consider a yearly bird's-eye-view that fits in the ROCKS (the most important stuff first). I also dance into how to make some of these things easier and evaluate your own to-do-lists and time management to see where you can:
Let go
Reschedule
Delegate
Or take action on right away!

Collaborating with others isn't always the EASIEST choice. But it can be the best choice for you, your vision, your business, and your visibility.
It can make things less lonely, help you go further faster, open you up to new opportunities, and land you places you never even dreamed of! Collaborations can create a ripple effect that allow you to impact MORE lives, more people, and they are often much bigger and beyond what you can create alone.
In this episode, I share lessons learned about collaborating with others since I really started ramping up in 2017 and the questions to ask yourself when reflecting on or preparing for collaborative experiences of your own!
I get into factors to consider like:
- Vision and Expectations
- Values
- Communication
- Personality
- Modus Operandi
- Commitment
- Work Ethic
- And more!
