Sometimes the work is hard. Or maybe the work is rewarding but the context is hard. And we need to reset our nervous system, rediscover joy in human connection, and remember that progress is still happening even when it feels like society is tumbling backward.

Something ELSE New for you!

  • If you are podcasting, but feeling like it’s time for a content glow-up
  • If you are creator, curious about how podcasting may work for you

Our new program is called Find Your Light, a creative content ecosystem audit for cultural impact. In this current media and marketing landscape — it’s not enough to look at just one segment of your messaging. It’s more efficient and effective to look at how your podcast plays within your entire brand content — and I’m thinking of it like an ecosystem.

“Find your light” is a theater phrase that refers to how during a show, certain parts of the stage may be lit and some may be in shadow. As the performer, you need to be aware of your positioning — if you are delivering the most perfectly rehearsed Shakespearean soliloquy but you’re in the wrong place on stage, the impact will be lost because your audience cannot see you.

Likewise, if you are just using one channel for your content strategy, your potential audiences on other channels are missing out. Yet we don’t want you running laps around the ecosystem trying to create something new for each audience.

And that’s why you need someone like me to help you see the opportunities, clarify the messaging, and co-create a sustainable plan for visibility.

Find Your Light!

Sign up to the waitlist to be the FIRST to get details and a chance to claim your spotlight at The Creative Impostor Studios. We'll be opening spaces for your creative content ecosystem audit at an introductory rate in August 2025.

Thank you for sharing staying creative! Reply to this email and share how you're fueling your creative tank these days.

Hey Creator! How's your summer going? Wild and action packed? Or slow and languorous? Or maybe even just a little... meh (are we still using that word?)
