ok this the exact canva carousel template I use but also!! this is the same comfort framework I use too because otherwise it’s just a pretty carousel with no rhyme or reason x
also!! if you’re a real human whose nervous system is fried from all the “post every day” advice because you’re also trying to do this other little thing called life 🫠 I’m hosting a workshop and I’d love to have you in the room with me! message me COMFORTWORK for your private invite x
Update: I’ve just released V2 of this planner, and it’s better than ever (and still free 🫡 - comment NEWPLANNER if you want it)
Because they told me hot girls don’t gatekeep…
So this is my content process. ☺️This is how I stay consistent in my content while I’m juggling my 1:1 schedule, TV projects and my group mentorship.
🩵” Batching content” is getting a lot of hype right now and I’m here for it - but what I would suggest is that you batch media types, rather than trying to batch whole content pieces from start to finish. So I usually batch my filming, my editing, and my writing at different times so that my brain doesn’t overheat and so that my creativity levels stays high.
🩵Also reg organisation - I’ve been doing social media strategy for other businesses for awhile now - and in that time I’ve been able to try a LOT of content planners. None of them really hit the spot for me though - so I made my own with @notionhq and tweaked it over time.
If your goal is to be more consistent with your content - definitely suggest an organisation tool that works for you. Or you’re also welcome to use mine if you want - just drop a comment below with the word NEWPLANNER and I’ll send it to your inbox.
I hope it serves you well xxx

I left home when I was 15.
And the other day, I had to fly back to Bali through in Calcutta - the last place I lived with my family before I left home.
Let me be so clear: I love my family. I have so much respect for my parents - they have hearts of gold. But at the same time- my younger self knew that I couldn’t follow in their footsteps.
Thing is… no one warns you about how much it will hurt to disappoint those you love.
No one tells you that it’s okay to love someone but not agree with them.
No one tells you that in order to fulfil your own dream you might crush someone else’s.
It’s taken me a long time to start shedding the guilt - and it’s still a process. But I know now more than ever that my younger self was right.
And I hope you know too: that if there’s ever a choice between disappointing another or betraying yourself:
please choose yourself.
Because overruling their advice with our intuition doesn’t mean we’re disrespecting them.
And because the greatest gift you can give those you care about is the gift of being the most alive, passionate version of yourself.
Being “true to yourself” isn’t just a cute saying for a coffee mug. Choosing yourself isn’t just a convenient tagline for summery, sexy holiday reels.
Choosing yourself means listening to your soul, not just your emotions - and it’s the one thing that no one else can do for you. But it’s the only way that you can guarantee that your life is well lived.
We don’t get to choose how our story starts. But we get to write the rest of it. And I hope you’re brave enough to write the ending you really want 💕
yoga, yoga flow, yoga asana, self care, yoga teacher training, wellness coaching, mental health reminders
say it with me: it doesn’t need to be perfect it just needs to be now!
if you’ve been procrastinating learning how to yap because face to camera is scary hi me too but I’ve found that having a really solid starting point helps and for me (along with an opening hook) that’s having a visual hook - what I’m realising is that the best yap videos right now aren’t super fancy or have crazy edits, they’re just unexpected and memorable 🩵
hope these help you get out of your own head too xo
notes to my introverted self pt 1 |
something so meta about being scared to share a post about being scared BUT we move because how are we supposed to experience a bigger life if we’re too afraid to step towards it?
and for my creator girlies - the small business owners, the founders, the coaches… we get a bonus layer of challenge yay! because not only do we have to do the scary thing BUT we also have to do it in public
and we have to open ourselves up to potential criticism and judgment at every step along the way
and that’s not a bad thing… you’re actually supercharging your personal growth
but knowing that can help you give yourself more grace if your first reaction is to freeze or pull away from the things that might lead you to a bigger life because not only are you doing something new but you’re having to do it on “stage” so to speak
so if you’re stuck in the push/pull of wanting more but also feeling very uncomfortable as you step out of you comfort zone… just know you’re not broken, its just part of the process
also have to give @sarahbcoaching her flowers because I’ve known about nervous system regulation for so long but she actually makes it so grounded 🩵
if you can yap a mile a minute but you get on mic and every coherent thought flies out of your brain… same girl same
I’ve seen talking videos change so much on this app over the past few years… and they seem to have gotten less scripted but more engaging and “sticky” at the same time which tells me two things:
one: talking to camera is a practice like any other and you can’t get good without putting the reps in
and two: most of the “on the fly” spontaneous videos are planned or scripted, they’re just good at making it like they “just thought of it” so if you have to do more than one take to get it right YOU’RE NOT BAD AT IT you’re just the only one who is seeing the takes no one else does xoxo
so this idea nearly broke my brain and I need you to hear it too
it’s that everyone who has ever had an opinion about you…your choices, your career, your relationships, how you show up, what you post, what you charge, how you mother, how you move… is working with a FRACTION of your story.
a tiny sliver of context filtered through their own experiences, their own wounds, their own idea of who you should be.
only you know the whole book.
and yet most of us hand the pen to everyone else and let them write the ending. we shrink, we over-explain, we edit ourselves down to something more palatable - not because their version of us is true, but because we’ve never fully trusted our own.
people will always view us through their own lens and that’s ok!
but we’re the only one living our life from the inside so we’re actually the best person to make a judgment call on what happens in our life! what a concept
i got a comment recently that said “isn’t talking about your silly screw-ups just another way of making yourself small? when have you ever seen a man do that? isn’t that just you being scared to take up space? ”
so here’s the deal:
there’s a psychological phenomenon called the pratfall effect. and it says that people like you more…not less! when you show your mistakes and imperfections.
because perfection creates distance…and distance kills connection
but like all beautiful things in life, it comes with a side dish of nuance (of course!):
the pratfall effect only works if you’ve already established that you know what you’re doing
studies show that when someone who has already demonstrated real competence admits a mistake, they become more trustworthy, more credible.
so no, you probably shouldn’t make oversharing and crying on camera your whole strategy.
but when you’re building a personal brand that reflects your zone of genius, when you’re open to the things going right and the parts of your world you are an expert in…
then, when you share about the product that flopped or the season where you were figuring it out in real time, it doesn’t make people doubt you, it actually makes them back you more.
showing your imperfections isn’t making yourself small. it’s actually one of the most confident things you can do, because it says: i know exactly who i am and what i know, and i’m not afraid to be human about the rest.
imo, that’s not shrinking…that’s taking up space in the most human way possible 🤍
everything is hard! getting healthy is hard, staying unhealthy is hard, building something is hard, working for someone else’s dream is hard.
showing up online is hard. staying invisible is hard.
the hard doesn’t go away - you just get to choose which hard is worth it for you
and I know I’d rather do the hard thing that is taking me somewhere than the hard thing that’s keeping me stuck exactly where i am
it’s going to be hard either way so you might as well make it count!
+ if you want to choose your hard with me - we start content creation seasons this Wednesday! dm me if you want the last seat xo
