Welcome to our new monthly content planning series focused on inspiring your content creation for the month ahead!
In these posts/episodes, I will share what’s coming up in the month ahead—any holidays, astrological shifts, seasonal changes, the placement/movement of the moon, world or cultural events, etc. From these, I will highlight certain themes you can explore within your content as well as what to be mindful of when creating.
For each of these content planning episodes, a full list of content prompts centered around one main theme will be available as part of the Substack post. NEW opportunity: Share your creations for a possible feature/guest post on The Mindful Content Creator Substack! (More details below.)
Each episode will also end with a Tarot/Oracle card message for the month ahead to encourage us as creators.
You can view the details about this month, the theme, and the prompts below.
