101. Content Planning, Systems, Notion & the Mindset Shift That Made it All Possible with Mia Poklepovich

If you’ve ever felt like your content is scattered across a million notes, Google Docs, and random bursts of inspiration, this episode is for you.

I’m sitting down with my client & friend Mia Poklepovich, founder of The Freedom Therapist and OT Inspire Australia, to talk about how she went from posting on the fly and scrambling for content ideas to running a smooth, flexible, and actually fun content system inside Notion.

In this episode, we break down:

• The mindset shift Mia had to make to stop resisting systems
• Why a content system doesn’t have to kill creativity (in fact, it does the opposite)
• How Notion became her home base for content, launches, and podcast planning
• The surprising ways systems have reduced stress and helped her show up more
• How you can get started with The Content Anthology, the exact system we built for Mia

Whether you’re a therapist, coach, or creative drowning in content ideas but struggling to stay consistent, this episode will show you how to turn chaos into clarity—without losing flexibility.
