Are you drowning in a sea of content creation? 

There is so much noise out there that makes us feel like we have to be everywhere, all the time. Instagram posts, LinkedIn articles, TikToks, newsletters, podcasts. . .   it’s exhausting just thinking about it! No wonder you feel paralysed before you even start. 

But you don’t need to do it all.  

In episode 160 of the Powerful Content Podcast, I get real about why content creation can feel like a never-ending mountain to climb and how you can finally lighten that load. I share my personal journey with content overwhelm and give you some ideas to help you break free from unrealistic expectations and trend-chasing that leave you drained. 

I introduce my four P framework Prepare, Plan, Produce, Process as a straightforward way to streamline your workflow. This method isn’t about adding more to your plate; it’s about clearing the clutter so you can focus on what you do best. 

Here's what I cover: 

• Why Content Overwhelm Happens: I dive into the pressures and “shoulds” that make content creation feel like a chore instead of a creative outlet. It’s time to stop letting external expectations dictate your process. 

• Playing to Your Strengths: Discover how aligning your content with your unique strengths not only eases the stress but also makes your work more authentic and impactful. I share tips on finding the formats that light you up instead of draining you. 

• Simple Systems for Big Results: From setting up an efficient content calendar to using practical tools that keep your creative ideas organized, I discuss how small changes can lead to huge improvements in your workflow. 

• Challenging Old Beliefs: I share my own struggles with self-doubt and how shifting my mindset helped me create content that feels true to who I am.
