166: 5 Minute Mindset Reset: For When You Feel Stuck Under Old Expectations of You
Feeling stuck under the weight of old content expectations? Let’s reset that. If you’ve been creating content for a while, you’ve likely evolved—personally, professionally, and energetically. Your business may have shifted. Your offers may have changed. Maybe your voice has gotten bolder, wiser, or simply more you. And yet, your content? It still feels stuck in the past.
This tension between who you are now and how you're still showing up online is something I see constantly with my coaching clients. They’ve grown, but their content hasn’t. When we dig a little deeper, it’s rarely about strategy. It’s about mindset.
Let’s talk about why that happens, what it really means, and how to start showing up again in a way that feels fresh, aligned, and deeply authentic.
In this episode:
- Why your current audience might be the reason you’re hesitating to show up differently.
- A mindset shift to help you reset and experiment with your content confidently.
- Three truths to help you create consistent, creative content without needing permission.
