Welcome to another inspiring episode of The Abundant Coach! If you’ve ever stared at a blank screen wondering, What should I post today? or felt overwhelmed trying to keep up with the endless demands of content creation, this episode is for you.

Lauren Brollier Newton, a seven-figure coach and your guide to building a coaching business you love, dives into practical strategies for how to come up with content ideas effortlessly. She explores the mindset shifts needed to beat writer’s block, how to leverage your everyday life as a content goldmine, and actionable tips to create authentic, high-value posts that connect with your audience.

Whether you’re just starting out or are a seasoned coach, this episode will show you how to turn your day-to-day experiences into compelling content that resonates with your ideal clients.

The Mindset Shift: Overcoming Writer’s Block

If you’ve ever felt stuck staring at a blank page, wondering how to come up with content ideas for your coaching business, Lauren begins this episode with a powerful reminder: mindset matters. One of the biggest obstacles coaches face is writer’s block, which often stems from self-doubt and comparison. Lauren encourages listeners to stop comparing themselves to others, as this can lead to “comparison despair.” Instead, she recommends rewriting the story you tell yourself.

For example, instead of thinking, I’m not creative or I have nothing to say, start affirming, I’m surrounded by content ideas every day. Your mindset shapes your results, and cultivating a belief in your creativity will make it easier to tap into inspiration and overcome writer’s block.

How to Come Up with Endless Content Ideas

Lauren shares her favorite strategies for generating content ideas, emphasizing that the best inspiration often comes from your own life and experiences. Here are some highlights from her approach:

  • Share the Principles You Teach: Reflect on how you live the tools and values you coach others to embrace. For example, if you have a morning journaling routine, share how it impacts your day and offer tips for starting one.
  • Be Authentic and Vulnerable: People connect with authenticity, not perfection. Sharing your struggles or less-than-perfect moments helps your audience relate to you. For instance, you can write about a day you skipped your routine and how you bounced back.
  • Celebrate Client Successes: Without breaking confidentiality, share stories about client breakthroughs or challenges you’ve helped them overcome. This builds your credibility and shows the impact of your coaching.
  • Document Your Journey: Post behind-the-scenes glimpses of your work, such as preparing for a coaching session or setting up for a podcast recording. These small moments give your audience a window into your world.
  • Focus on Value: Create content that teaches, inspires, or solves a problem for your audience. For example, offer actionable advice, such as a simple practice to reduce stress or tips for setting boundaries.

Practical Social Media Strategies

Lauren emphasizes the importance of engaging with your audience and making your content approachable. Avoid using jargon or overly vague phrases, and instead, focus on relatable language and specific problems your audience faces.

For example, rather than saying, Transform your life with coaching, focus on a specific challenge: Feeling stuck in your morning routine? Here’s how to fix it. This makes your content more accessible and appealing.

Additionally, Lauren highlights the value of including a clear but natural call to action in your posts. For instance, after sharing tips on overcoming morning stress, you might say, If this resonates with you, DM me for a free guide on creating a morning routine that works. This approach feels authentic while encouraging engagement.

Why Giving Value Attracts Clients

One of the myths Lauren tackles in this episode is the fear that giving too much value upfront will stop people from hiring you. In reality, the opposite is true. Sharing your expertise builds trust, positions you as an authority, and shows potential clients the results they can achieve with your guidance.

Lauren explains that people don’t just buy information—they buy access and accountability. By giving value freely, you demonstrate your ability to help, which makes people more likely to invest in working with you.

Key Takeaways

  • Your mindset is foundational. Replace limiting beliefs about content creation with affirmations of abundance and creativity.
  • The best content ideas often come from your own life, experiences, and the principles you live and teach.
  • Authenticity and vulnerability are powerful tools for connection—don’t be afraid to share your struggles as well as your successes.
  • High-value content that solves problems or inspires action builds trust and attracts clients without feeling salesy.
  • Social media strategies like storytelling, sharing behind-the-scenes moments, and offering calls to action can boost engagement and position you as a trusted authority.
