Creating content with heart: A holistic approach

Embracing Content Creation with Heart: A Holistic Approach 
Do you feel like there’s something missing from your content? Or that the methodologies that you’re told you ‘should’ be following, feel wrong? 
Listen to that feeling. 
In this episode of the Powerful Content Podcast, host Mel Daniels covers the importance of creating content with heart, not just content based on a formula or someone else’s strategy. 
Because when you can learn to trust yourself and believe in your intuition then that’s when your content will start to come from the heart. And when you create this type of content, which reflects the true you, that is empathetic, connecting, valuable and consistent, then so many shifts will occur for you. 
You need to take a holistic approach to content marketing that incorporates mind and soul alongside heart to make it easier to bring more YOU to your content.

Shifting your money mindset with Julia Scott

We’ve all been conditioned, either directly or indirectly to believe certain things in our life. And when it comes to money and wealth creation (especially for women), those beliefs are often more ingrained than we realise. 
In this week’s episode, I talk with Julia Scott, intuitive money mindset and finance expert about how we can identify these limiting beliefs, or money blocks, to achieve greater wealth in our lives. 
She emphasises the distinction between being rich and being wealthy, advocating for wealth as a means to offer more choices and opportunities to support others. Listen in for practical advice on overcoming money blocks and setting ambitious financial goals.  
You can take Julia’s money personality quiz to understand your money strengths and understand the role of your surroundings in financial success.  
Julia's key message is that money amplifies who you are, and by aligning mindset and surroundings with financial knowledge, women can achieve lasting wealth.
