How to Build a Workflow That Saves You 10 Hours a Week

If you’re tired of feeling busy but not seeing results from your content, this episode is for you. We’re diving into workflow systems—the kind that help you save time, multiply your impact, and finally get your content working for you (instead of the other way around).


You’ll hear how I use simple, repeatable workflows to turn one piece of content into a week’s worth of visibility, build trust with my audience, and create consistency without burning out. These are the same systems I teach my clients—because your content should be a lead generator, not just another task on your to-do list.


Inside this episode, I’m sharing the exact steps that help me and my clients:



  • Stop letting great content sit buried and unused

  • Repurpose podcasts, blogs, and videos into multiple formats

  • Build a content calendar that actually drives business

  • Show up consistently, even when life gets busy


I’ll also walk you through my own repurposing workflow—how I turn a single podcast into a blog, emails, and social posts, and the tools I use to keep it all organized. Whether you’re a coach, creator, or service provider, these workflows will help you reclaim your time and grow your business with less stress.
