What Happens When You Stop Posting (and Start Planning)


Content freedom comes from constraint. Pick a lane. Plan ahead. Post with purpose.”
Andrew Wallis

Hey Reader,

Let’s be honest—there’s nothing more draining than staring at a blinking cursor, wondering what to post today.

You’re juggling client sessions, programming, admin, and trying to squeeze in a social post that doesn’t sound like a cry for help. I get it.

But here’s the truth: consistency isn’t about showing up daily with genius content pulled from thin air—it’s about having a system that makes content creation simple and sustainable.

That’s what this week’s newsletter is all about.

Let’s stop spinning the content hamster wheel—and start posting with purpose.


Strategic Content Planning > Reactive Posting

Ever feel like you’re stuck in the hamster wheel of “What should I post today?”

You open Instagram. Scroll a bit. Close it. Reopen it.

Maybe post something just to stay active… but it doesn’t move the needle.

No DMs. No consults. Just crickets.

Here’s why: posting without a plan burns you out and keeps you invisible.

It’s not about working harder. It’s about working smarter—with a system that helps you create content that connects, converts, and keeps you in control.

Try these 3 planning shifts to reclaim your time and your results:

✅ Monthly Themes

Pick a focus that aligns with what you’re selling.

👉 Launching a strength program? Make it “Strength Month.”

👉 Running a referral challenge? Feature “Client Success Month.”

This keeps your content focused and your message clear.

✅ Weekly Rhythm

Rotate post types to keep your feed fresh and strategic.

👉 Monday: Value

👉 Wednesday: Story

👉 Friday: Social Proof or CTA

It takes the guesswork out of “what to post” and ensures you're building trust all week long.

✅ Batch + Bank

Set aside 60–90 minutes each week to plan and create.

Batch 2–3 posts at once, schedule them out, and build a content bank you can dip into when life gets chaotic (because it will).

🛠 Pro Tip:

Content freedom comes from constraint.

Pick a lane. Plan ahead. Post with purpose.

You don’t need to post more—you just need to post smarter.

The Content Waterfall: Repurpose Content Like a Pro

👉 Read the post here

Tired of feeling like you’re on a content treadmill?

This week’s post breaks down a simple system I use myself—and with clients—to turn one core idea into a full week’s worth of content across email, social media, and video.

It’s called the Content Waterfall, and once you try it, you won’t go back.

Here’s the gist:

Start with one pillar post, like a blog or a long-form video.

Then drip it down into smaller pieces—think carousels, reels, tweets, short emails, and lead magnets. You stay consistent without burning out.

This approach helps you:

  • Show up everywhere without starting from scratch
  • Reinforce key ideas across platforms
  • Save hours of time every week

🔧 I’ve even included a free Content Waterfall Checklist to make it plug-and-play.

👉 Read the blog + grab the checklist

If you’ve been trying to stay visible but feel like you’re always chasing your tail, this one’s for you.

Let’s Talk

Be honest—how often do you find yourself staring at a blank screen, wondering what to post?

👉 “Should I just throw something up to stay visible?”

👉 “Is anyone even reading this?”

👉 “What if I run out of ideas next week?”

You’re not alone. Most coaches don’t have a content system—they rely on inspiration, not intention.

But here’s the real question I want to ask you:

👉 What’s been your biggest struggle with staying consistent on social or email?

Hit reply and let me know.

Whether it’s time, ideas, confidence, or something else entirely—I read every message.

And who knows, I might even feature your reply (anonymously) in a future newsletter or video.

Let’s cut through the chaos and start creating content that actually works for your business.

I’ve got your back.
