Show Up Daily (Even If You’re in Trackies): Content Habits That Actually Work

Jess Whatman & Hermione Gardiner Season 2 Episode 8

If you’ve ever put off posting because your hair’s a mess, or skipped stories because you “don’t have anything to say” — this episode is for you.

We’re breaking down what it really takes to show up daily on social media, build trust, grow your brand and stay consistent (without spending all day online or needing perfect lighting).

We also talk about creating better habits, overcoming mindset blocks, and why daily content is more powerful than you think — even if it’s not polished or planned.

You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to show up.

We Talked About

  • Why stories build trust faster than perfectly curated posts
  • How the algorithm rewards people who show up daily
  • Overcoming perfectionism, filters, and the “I have nothing to say” fear
  • Easy daily habits for stories, posts, and community engagement
  • The 3-part story formula that works (even when you CBF)
  • How batching content saves you hours
  • Why daily social media should be part of your KPIs
  • Tips for engaging with local businesses and ideal clients
  • Why documenting > creating
  • What to do if your socials feel like a ghost town
