Do you feel disheartened by the lack of likes on your social media posts? Well, maybe you’re looking at it the wrong way.
In this episode of The Powerful Content Podcast, Mel Daniels unpacks what it really takes to create content that stands the test of time, without running yourself into the ground.
She explores how business owners can stay visible and connected to their audience in a way that feels sustainable, meaningful, and true to their voice. Instead of chasing trends or constantly creating from scratch, Mel encourages you to embrace reimagination, listen closely to what their audience needs, and lean into the strength of your full content ecosystem.
Mel also shares her personal story of pausing full-time business and the surprising impact it had on engagement. She shows how building trust and staying anchored in your message can carry your content further than any quick-fix strategy.
You’ll also hear how Mel’s signature 4P Framework (Prepare, Plan, Produce, Process) supports long-term content strategy, along with powerful reflective prompts to realign your approach with their current season of business.

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.
