Winter’s here. The lights are up. Your brain is halfway into holiday mode. And honestly? Good. You earned that. But your content still needs a plan so you can actually unplug. Here’s the nice list version of holiday content planning ⤵️ 1. Reuse what already worked You do not need brand-new ideas in December. Take your best-performing posts from earlier this year and give them a seasonal refresh. New visual. Cozy reference. Slight caption tweak. Done. Reminder: the algorithm is not showing your content to the same people every time. Reposting is not lazy. It’s smart. 2. Lean into seasonal, relatable content Everyone’s slowing down. Dressing warmer. Eating differently. Thinking differently. That’s your content lane. Behind-the-scenes moments. Holiday routines. Local traditions. Stories work especially well here and they don’t need to be polished to connect. 3. Let evergreen content do the heavy lifting If you have content that’s still relevant months later, put it on repeat. Blog posts. YouTube videos. Core ideas. Once it’s set up, it quietly keeps working while you rest. 4. Plan so you can actually rest Planning is not pressure. Planning is permission. A few intentional minutes now means you don’t have to “figure it out” later when you’d rather be offline. 5. Borrow inspiration (don’t reinvent) Look at what worked last year in your industry. Notice formats and themes, not copies. Adapt what fits your voice and your people. That’s it. No hustle. No heroics. Let your content run in the background while you enjoy the season, the food, the people, and the pause. Sometimes the smartest strategy is stepping away 💛 What holiday content ideas are you exploring this week? Share them below for inspiration — Stacey My CFO 🐾 approves of this message 👌

Heyyyyy I'm creating a banner in canva which will be pinned to the top of my insta in 3 parts. This is the descriptions... 1st part Meet Shane & Kim, Studio SHIM, together for over 25 years. Kim left a secure corporate career due to mental health and in this change, they fully commited to their art together. Award-winning visual artists and live creators. Everything is made in house, bootstrapped, and intentional. 2nd part From murals in public spaces to immersive music and art experiences, workshops, and community projects, we transform spaces and bring people together. 3rd part Alcohol and substance free for almost 10 years, sustainable, and community focused, we give back, spark creativity, and leave a lasting mark ... On your walls and your heART. Interested in hearing changes, we're both generators.

Curios on your opinion, I'm at the point that I need to sell my artwork to pay for dental that I've put off for too long. Had a tooth pulled which now I know eve hing I need to have a happy and healthy smile. Should I include the amount, mention the work while showing up to sell and share? Thoughts on this?

Ever feel behind on content and end up doom‑scrolling instead of posting? This week’s Fast Fix is about using what you’ve already saved instead of starting from scratch. 🪄 Fast Fix: Open your Saved folder, pick one post you genuinely love, and repurpose it with a new angle. - Keep the structure but change the audience. - Keep the idea but swap the example or CTA. - Or record a simple Reel explaining why it hit you and what you’d add for your people now. I’m using this Reel from my own Saved folder as my example: “If I were a millennial mom trying to quietly upgrade my life, here are the 16 tiny habits I’d start doing today.” https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQo7eY6iSH4/?igsh=MTFkZTd1cWVvbnN4aw== Here are cross‑industry prompts you can adapt by filling in the blanks.

These are perfect for a “pull up a chair and let’s talk about your backyard” vibe. Here are 5 ideas with a soft, “you’re not the only one” tone and light, low-pressure CTAs. 1. “I’ve been ignoring this corner…” (Before/after)Sometimes the messiest corner of the yard is the one that’s been bugging someone for months, but they keep walking past it. This post is about letting them feel seen instead of called out. Post idea: “You know that one corner of your yard you pretend not to see? Yeah… this was that corner. ”First image: the cluttered space with a simple, honest caption like: “Owner’s words: ‘Please don’t judge my chaos.’ ”Second image: the clean, open space with: “Two hours later, they just kept saying, ‘I can breathe again.’ ”Soft CTA: “If you have a ‘don’t look over there’ spot too, you’re in good company.” 2. “I promise, we’ve seen worse” (Myth-busting chat) A lot of people are not scared of the price, they’re scared of being judged. This one is written like a coffee chat confession, not a pitch. Post idea (carousel busting myths): “Real talk: Most people don’t message us because they’re afraid we’ll think their place is ‘too bad.’” Talk through 2–3 gentle myths: “Myth: It has to be organized first. Truth: We literally exist so you don’t have to do that.” “Myth: We’re secretly judging you. Truth: We’re usually just thinking about how satisfying the ‘after’ is going to feel for you.” Soft CTA: “If your brain is saying, ‘It’s too much, I’m embarrassed,’ consider this your sign that you’re not alone.” 3. “I waited way too long to deal with this” (Mini client story) This one is all about someone finally admitting they waited and waited… and it’s completely relatable. Think “friend telling you what actually happened,” not “case study.” Post idea: Over B‑roll or photos, tell a short story:“She told us, ‘I’ve canceled two BBQs this year because I didn’t want anyone to see my yard.’” “We showed up, cleared it all, and at the end she just kept saying, ‘I can’t believe I lived with this for so long.’”
