Welcome to the very first episode of The Content Beach, a vibrant new space for course creators, coaches, and digital dreamers who want to create magnetic content that actually moves the needle. In this raw and real solo kickoff, your host Raya (founder of We Thrive By Design) goes live for the first time — no edits, no fluff, just a mic, a mission, and a message: You don't need to be perfect, you just need to start.
🎧 In This Episode:
-
Why done is better than perfect when it comes to launching your podcast or content
-
The real difference between content marketing and running ads (and why most creators get it backwards)
-
How to think like a long-term brand instead of chasing quick wins
-
A juicy metaphor about donuts, premium packaging, and content ROI
-
The mindset shift you need to make if you’re stuck waiting for the “perfect time” to post
-
Why content is the bridge between your offer and the people who need it
-
How to build trust, show value, and position yourself without burning out or overselling
-
What long-form content is (even if you don’t know the term yet)
-
A heart-to-heart about comparison, self-doubt, and pushing past the fear of not being good enough
Key Takeaways:
-
Creating content is a form of leadership. It shows your audience how you think, how you serve, and what matters to you.
-
Courses don’t sell themselves. Even the best product needs a strong, sustainable content strategy to attract and convert.
-
Start where you are. You don’t need 10,000 followers to start building authority—you just need clarity and consistency.
