Feeling like you need to post *more* to grow—but you’re already tired? In this session, we’re breaking down how to build a **content system you can actually sustain** (without burning out).
You’ll learn a simple framework that helps you create content that drives:
- **Discovery** (new people find you)
- **Trust** (they stick around)
- **Conversion** (email, community, offers, clients)
### What we cover
- The **Minimum Viable Content Engine (MVCE)**: *Pillar + Feed (+ Support when you’re ready)*
- A clean **repurposing map**: 1 episode → clips, posts, emails, and a soft CTA
- How to pick a **realistic cadence** (weekly vs biweekly) + run seasons so you don’t quit
- **Energy management**: what to batch, what to simplify, and what to delegate first
- A practical **30-day reset plan** to get consistent fast
