Step out of consumption and into content creation
Have you ever found yourself endlessly scrolling, signing up for just one more freebie, or binge-listening to podcasts (maybe even this one!), all in the name of “research”? It feels productive, but deep down you know it’s keeping you stuck.
In this episode Mel Daniels unpacks why you slip into consumption mode, how it holds you back and the real benefits of shifting into creation instead. She’ll walk you through simple, practical steps you can take to move from absorbing everyone else’s content to confidently creating your own.
Mel also shares some of her own experiences, including the boundaries she’s put in place around learning and the systems she uses to make content creation feel lighter.
It’s time to stop hiding behind consumption and start stepping into your power as a confident content creator!
