Did you know that defining your ideal client isn’t just a foundational piece of marketing strategy? It’s actually an energetic decision that shapes your content, your energy and often your entire business experience.
In this episode of The Powerful Content Podcast, Mel Daniels takes you beyond the usual demographics and surface-level details to explore a more intuitive, aligned way of choosing who you work with. She shares three simple but powerful questions that will help you uncover the people who light you up, inspire your creativity, and make your business feel more fulfilling.
This isn’t about ticking boxes or building a ‘perfect’ avatar. It’s about creating space for clients who energise you, so your content flows more easily and your business feels lighter.
Here’s what you’ll hear in this episode:
- The deeper reason why defining your ideal client is so important (and it’s not just marketing)
- Why traditional avatar exercises often miss the mark for heart-led entrepreneurs
- Three powerful questions to guide you towards clients who feel aligned and energising

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
