Do you love the idea of having a clear content plan, but every time you sit down to map things out you freeze, second guess yourself, or feel like you are trying to keep up with strategies that never quite fit who you are as a person?
As we head into the end of the year and life starts to get a little full, it can feel far too early and far too overwhelming to think about next year. But this is actually the perfect moment to give future you a calmer start to 2026. When you have a plan that feels aligned with your energy, your goals, and your real life, everything becomes easier. You know what to create, why you are creating it, and how it supports the big picture of your business.
In this Mel walks you through some of the biggest myths that hold women back from planning, why planning often feels heavy or overwhelming, and how you can approach it in a way that feels simple and grounded.
We’ll also revisit her 4P framework: Prepare, Plan, Produce, and Process, and look at how each stage helps you create a rhythm that supports your energy, your time, and your business goals.
You’ll learn how to map out a 90 day content plan by considering the season you’re in, choosing clear objectives, deciding what you want to promote, landing on a theme, and brainstorming just enough content ideas to make the month feel spacious rather than stressful.
If you’re ready to bring more clarity and confidence into your content and set yourself up for an easier 2026, this episode will guide you through exactly where to begin.
