    Simple Habits for Consistent Content Creation

    If content creation feels like an uphill battle week after week, this episode is for you. We’re talking about simple content habits—the kind that make consistency easier without adding more to your plate.

    You’ll hear how I use small, repeatable routines to reduce overwhelm, repurpose old content with purpose, and stay aligned with my message. These are the same systems and habits I teach my clients—because content marketing only works when it happens on a regular basis.

    Inside this episode, I’m sharing the exact steps that help me and my clients:

    • Avoid the blank page struggle
    • Create content with less time and effort
    • Keep showing up, even when life is full

    I also walk you through my Trello Podcast Workflow Board—my go-to tool for streamlining content planning and staying consistent without burnout. Whether you’re a solo coach, a digital creator, or a service provider, these habits will give you the clarity and structure to make progress every single week.

    • How an idea library became the foundation of my content system
    • Why batching isn’t enough—and what to do instead
    • How a visual workflow helps you stop forgetting steps
    • A reminder to audit your content consumption habits
    • How habit stacking makes content creation easier (thanks, James Clear!)

    Because consistency is the most effective way to build trust with your potential audience—and it’s often the hardest part. These simple habits aren’t about doing more; they’re about doing the right things on a regular basis, in a way that fits into your personal life and your work day.

    It gives you permission to simplify.

    It reminds you that good content writers aren’t always the ones creating the most—they’re the ones creating with purpose.

  • 130 | Stop Second-Guessing: Trust Your Business Decisions
    2025/07/09

    Hey Friend!

    Have you ever made a decision in your business… and then spent days (or weeks) second-guessing it?

    Yeah—me too.

    In today’s episode, I’m sharing a message that’s been on my heart because I’ve been in this exact place recently. You make a choice with confidence, and then out of nowhere, doubt creeps in. You wonder if it was the right call. You start spiraling, re-evaluating, maybe even looking for a “better” option.

    But here’s what I’ve realized—second-guessing isn’t just a mindset issue, it’s a decision trap that keeps us stuck in fear, procrastination, and overwhelm. And that is not what God wants for us.

    If you struggle with decision fatigue, overthinking, or a loud inner critic telling you that you got it wrong, this episode will walk you through three powerful mindset shifts to help you move forward in faith, not fear.

    We talk about trusting your own judgment, quieting that inner voice of imposter syndrome, and taking messy, imperfect action—because business gets easier when you learn how to stop overthinking and start trusting your decisions.

    I pray this blesses you and gives you that little nudge to stay grounded in the present and move forward with peace.

    Let’s do this together.

    With grace and grit,

    Michele

    00:00 Introduction: The Struggle of Second Guessing

    00:49 Tip 1: It's Not True

    01:41 Tip 2: Identify the Trigger

    02:25 Tip 3: Give Yourself Grace

    03:38 Conclusion: Embrace Imperfect Action

    2025/06/11

    Streamline Your Content Creation with Effective Workflows

    Hey friend!

    If you’ve been flying by the seat of your pants with your content and feel like you’re constantly behind or forgetting steps, this episode is for you.

    We’re talking all about how to build a content workflow that makes content creation feel easier and actually doable. Whether you’re creating podcasts, blog posts, or YouTube videos—having a system in place is what helps you show up consistently without burning out. I’m sharing the types of workflows that can work for you (even if you’re a team of one), plus a step-by-step way to get started with the tools you already have.

    What is inside today’s episode?

    • What a workflow actually is—and why it matters
    • The difference between task-based and status-based workflows
    • Tools like Trello, Asana, and ClickUp and how to choose one
    • A step-by-step process to map out your own repeatable workflow
    • The real reason this is the system that helps you stay consistent

    Because trying to keep up without a plan is exhausting. You’ve got things to say and people to help—but without a content system, you’re stuck in the cycle of last-minute posts, missed steps, or total burnout. This is the foundation piece that helps everything else flow easier.

    This episode gives you a practical roadmap to finally create a content workflow that works for the way your brain works. No more guessing. You’ll know exactly what comes next, how to organize it, and how to stay on top of your content plan without adding more stress to your plate.

    I pray this blesses you and gives you a little breathing room in your week.
