LIVE: Let’s Talk About “Good” Content - What Is It, How To Create It & Why We Need it

Here’s the thing about content creation: there is no magic formula but there are ways to make sure that what you’re putting out for whatever reason - business, personal, for the aliens - is categorically good. This week on our Substack Live, we got a bit deeper into what makes content truly good and why it’s a non-negosh for those of us building & running businesses & brands online. We talk about the four elements of quality content: clarity and relevance, authenticity, creating connections, and having a clear purpose. Whether you’re just starting out in content creation or looking to refresh & refocus your overall content strategy, this episode is all about things you can do right now to help you connect with your ideal audience.

LIVE: The Fall Reset - Cozy Clarity, Reconnection & Realignment

I’m not a pumpkin spice Fall girl. I’m a let’s-get-quiet-and-reconnect-with-our-magic Fall girl. So in this house, Fall is when we reset, reconnect and find a bit of forward motion clarity. And this year, coming off a summer of ‘I don’t know [https://insidethehaven.substack.com/p/when-your-only-answer-is-i-dont-know?r=qm1j6]’, I'm sharing the reset I’ve done the last few years - with some new added clarity steps. The Fall Reset Workbook & Guide combines my love for purging what’s not serving us, refocusing on actual self-care, and the concept of 'tiny experiments' over rigid goal setting. (Members of The Haven, let me know what you think of the guide! It was in your email this week ☺️) Click here to get your instant download [https://writer.katiekastner.com/fallreset] Whether it's through spiritual resets, energy audits, imaginative play, or physical space cleanups, this reset guide is designed to help you find clarity and move forward in a way that feels truly right for you. Oh also! I’ve included some awesome cozy playlists and EFT tapping resources to keep your nervous system regulated. Let's lean into the energy of the season and reset for ourselves.
