an alternative to motivation slop 💡

Happy Saturday Reader! I have a question for you: How do you feel about "motivational" content? Does it make you feel motivated? Sometimes for me it does, but other times it just makes me cringe so hard. I've noticed that motivational content usually fits into at least one of these three categories: A) focused on the self and changing your behaviour. Work harder, try more things, get out of your comfort zone. B) focused on your mission. Helping people who need you, having an impact on the...

How's it going, Reader? May is gonna be a fantastic month, I'm calling it now! How about we take a moment to look at what's coming up and what we wanna focus on? Making it easier to say yes to what you do A useful question to ask yourself right now is: If someone discovered my website or saw my content today, would they immediately understand what I do and how to work with me? If not, that's a really good place to start. You're already familiar with your work, so it's easy to forget that you...

Happy Tuesday Reader, I don't know if anyone else feels like this: My whole creative business journey thus far has been a progression of seeking increasingly bigger missions. I started out in music production. A very fun niche, and helping people with their creative expression is extremely important!! But it's usually quite a light topic. Some time later, I started making content online about productivity and mental health. These things were at the front of my mind, and I wanted to be able to...

How's it going Reader? I thought I'd do a little end-of-the-month review with you so we can discuss what's working or not working 🤔 Sound good? You're welcome to reply and tell me about what you've been up to! This month my theme was taking action + celebrating it as much as possible. A few months ago, I wouldn’t have had the capacity to: start selling consistently, show up on social media again, create new resources, or make decisions about pricing. It took time, patience, practice, and...

Hey Reader, I had a BEAUTIFUL burst of inspiration on Wednesday 😍 You know when you go to put some small tweaks on a bit of work... but then something clicks and you're like OH F*** YEAH and you spend the day redesigning the whole thing. This is what happened with my free content repurposing guide. I decided to watch Lizzy Goddard's "Clicks Don't Lie*" training. (*affiliate link. Plsss get this if you are offering freebies or digital products it is genuinely ENLIGHTENING!) I went to tweak my...

You have plenty of ideas. But every time you sit down to write content that SHARES your work, you overthink....

How's your week going, Reader? I’ve wanted to create a strategic support offer for burned-out creatives for a long time. Because I know exactly what that feels like 😵💫 I know what it's like to be generally burned out from the chaos of the world, and then also be completely exhausted and/or frozen when trying to make content and promote stuff 🫠 This is not something that can be solved with a quick fix. It takes a looooong freaking time to recover from burnout. It also takes a long time to...

Happy Tuesday Reader, I did it!! I put together my 3 new Content Repurposing offer packages. I spent a lot of time at the end of last year thinking about how to make content creation easier for creatives. The biggest thing I focused on was "repurposing" — i.e. using the same content multiple times. These offers are aimed at creative business owners who've already made great content, but are now burned out and stuck. Sure, creatives can repurpose their own content, and it'll be wayyyyyyy...
