If you’ve ever downloaded a content calendar, tried to follow someone else’s posting routine, or felt overwhelmed by all the “you should be doing this” advice… this episode is for you.

In this solo episode, we break down how to DIY your own content plan so you’re creating with clarity, confidence, and intention, not chaos, burnout, or algorithm anxiety.

• The difference between a content plan vs a content strategy and why confusing the two keeps creators stuck
• Why creating for the algorithm sets you up for inconsistency and frustration
• How to choose a sustainable posting cadence you can actually maintain
• What content pillars really are (and why “educate, inspire, entertain” isn’t it)
• How to build a simple weekly content schedule that removes decision fatigue
• How to review your content monthly and pivot intentionally using real data
• The difference between your creative brain vs CEO brain and when to let each one lead
• Why repetition is not boring, it’s strategic
• How to lean into what’s working instead of constantly chasing new ideas

Welcome to the first episode of the Inspired Media Podcast of 2026 🤍
We’re kicking off the year with our annual tradition: creating your IT GIRL AGENDA!!!!

2026 isn’t about burning everything down or starting from scratch.
This is a refinement year. We’re building on what already works, learning from 2025, and stepping into a more intentional version of ourselves.

In this episode, I walk you through my updated It Girl Agenda framework so you can plan the year without overwhelming yourself.

• Why you should plan for the year but focus on the quarter
• How to do a real audit of 2025 (results and feelings)
• The four categories every It Girl Agenda needs
• Why identity matters more than goals
• How to set one focused goal per category without burnout
• A simple system to stay consistent all year

Rule #1: Plan the year, but hyper focus on the quarter

Step 1: The Audit
Review your calendar, camera roll, finances, and notes
Audit how things felt, not just what happened

Step 2: Set goals in four categories
Business
Socials
Finances
Personal

Step 3: Identity first
Start with “I’m the type of person who…”
Goals follow identity, not the other way around

Step 4: One goal per category
Attach one to two realistic weekly action items

Your value is not defined by what you accomplished in 2025.
Ambition is honorable. Wanting more is honorable. Planning is honorable.

But the pressure doesn’t have to come from you.

Give it to God and let 2026 show you how good it can be.

• Film yourself creating your It Girl Agenda in January
• Make a phone folder titled “2026” for ideas, milestones, and memories
• Share this episode with a friend who needs a fresh start

Save this episode, send it to your people, and tag me when you’re creating your It Girl Agenda so I can hype you up 🤍

Holiday sale details + breakdown in here: In this episode, I’m breaking down what it actually means to build a personal brand in 2026 without chasing trends, niches, or virality. If you’re entering a new era, planning a rebrand, or craving clarity, this episode is your Personal Brand Starter Pack.

What a personal brand really is (and what it’s not)

Why followers and views don’t equal trust or impact

How to stop copying what everyone else is doing and start building something that feels like you

You-Coded Content™ – how you say something matters more than what you say

Unselfish Content™ – lifestyle content that invites people in instead of showing off

Signature Style Series™ – repeatable formats and visual cues that build recognition

Lifestyle Pillar™ – the subtle details that make your brand memorable

Passion + Purpose – building from intention, not validation

Scalability – creating a brand that supports where you’re actually going

It Girl Mentality – taking action from confidence, not comparison

A personal brand isn’t built by following rules. It’s built by knowing who you are, how you want people to feel, and showing up consistently from that place. When your foundation is clear, every content decision gets easier.

Hey Bestie 🤍🫶
If you watched the last episode or you’ve been tuning into my content, you know I’m all about unselfish content — but today, we’re talking about unselfish selling and how the two actually come from the same place. I’m currently in a soft launch (July 2025 vibes), and I figured this would be the perfect time to give you the real behind-the-scenes on what it actually looks like to launch a course that connects, converts, and doesn’t make people roll their eyes.

This episode is a mix of storytelling, live lessons, and strategy — no gatekeeping, just real tea from the trenches. If you're planning to launch your own digital product or you’ve been side-eyeing the course world wondering if it’s still worth it... this one’s for you. 💻

🖊 WHAT WE'RE COVERING: 

• Why courses have been getting canceled on social media — and why that’s kind of fair
• The exact numbers from my soft launch: 50+ sales in 2 days, 80+ in 6 days, $8K+ in revenue
• What I focused on to make the course actually valuable — content, structure, delivery
• My IG-first marketing approach: what worked, what surprised me, and what I’d do differently
• A breakdown of the entertaining vs. inspirational vs. educational content angle
• How I built trust and prepped my audience before launch without being annoying
• Lessons in selling through serving (and why your offer isn’t about you — it’s about them)
• Tangible tips for building and launching your own digital product in 2025

If you’re in your course era, or even just thinking about it, this episode is your permission slip to do it ethically and intentionally — while still getting paid. 💸 Let’s normalize launching without scamming, shall we?

welcome to DAY 1 of your It Girl Content Rebrand!!! the first assignment: deep diving into SELFISH vs. UNSELFISH CONTENT. if you’re making vlogs, GRWMs, or “come with me” style content and wondering why it’s not growing your brand or building a real community, this one’s for you. you’ll learn the difference between selfish vs. unselfish content, and how to instantly elevate your lifestyle videos so they actually make people feel something.

✨ THE NOTES: 

we’ve lost the plot with lifestyle content — it’s cute, but not always meaningful.

• selfish content = narrating your life without a story or point.
• unselfish content = still about you, but for your audience.
• a framework to help you turn a selfish vlog into a cohesive, engaging, and unselfish vlog
• the content angles
  • entertaining – funny, chaotic, engaging
  • educational – tips, takeaways, what you’ve learned
  • inspirational – shift a mindset or share a powerful moment

the creator economy is worth $250 BILLION dollars, so it’s safe to say THERE IS MONEY TO BE MADE, but let’s be soooo for real about the other side of “making a lot of money” as a creator (or should i say creator CEO). this episode is part 2 of the raw, unfiltered lessons from scaling to half a million dollars as a creator ceo. here’s what i wish i knew:

1. you won’t always get the recognition you think you deserve—keep going anyway

2. hustle is addicting, just bc something is “familiar” to do, doesn’t mean it’s the best way to do something.

3. it’s one thing to make money, it’s another to manage it: your mind needs to catch up to your bank account

4. there’s a lot of waiting

5. don’t rely on brand deals

6. people-pleasing will hold you back

7. taxes are actually the worse thing ever (i cried)

8. success may not feel like what you imagined

9. cultural expectations around money make things complicated

10. grit is IT!!!

my most nerve-wracking, shaking in my boots, i'm sweatinggggg episode, but i'm finally ready to share: 

after 3 years, i hit 100K followers on tiktok (now almost 100K on ig) 

in less than 2 years, i hit 6 figures

in 2024, i made 1/2 million dollars

in january this year, i made $70K

in 14 days i launched my podcast (now: 70K+ downloads)

success in your 20’s is a balancing act: enjoy your youth but also take advantage of it. this episode will be part 1 on the lessons i learned through success milestones, money milestones, growth, and what it REALLY took to get here. not just the "everyone can do this!!" narrative, but the real, raw, vulnerable, hard conversations on success and how at 25 years old i was an am able to build a successful online business and a life that 10 year old me only dreamed of. i've been holding off talk about money and success bc in all honestly, most conversations give me the ick, most conversations are all about the flashy numbers, but lack TRUTH and SUBSTANCE. so my goal in sharing these wins is to offer that to you: to hopefully inspire, show you what's possible, but also to create a space where these conversations are OKAY TO HAVE. and lastly, my "top secret", i give this all to God: He is my co-founder, my partner, my #1 mentor, it is through Him all biggest, wildest, most ambitious dreams are possible no matter where you come from, no matter what stats are against you, no matter how impossible it seems, there is NO WASTED POTENTIAL when we are fulfilling His purpose. i blessed and honored you're here <3 

p.s if ANY of this resonated with you, i would LUV to know your feedback, experience, thoughts on here, ig, tt, whatever feels best for you!!!
