The Content Retreat: Expand Your Presence + Take Aligned Action

What would it feel like to be in flow with your content creation and to post confidently with ease?

Creating aligned content and sharing it consistently with confidence is the heart of what makes your audience fall in love with you and fully engage with your work. You may not consider yourself a content creator, but if you’re sharing a newsletter, podcast, or posting on social media, you are!

This retreat is for entrepreneurs and small business owners (all industries are welcome) to step away from the frenzy of their everyday lives and step into a transformational accelerator for content creation, brand alignment, and business expansion to leave their mark in a bigger, brighter, and more aligned way (especially, if you’re not tech savvy)!

Join the Content Retreat online on Saturday, 9/21/24 from 4:00-7:00 pm, and Sunday, 9/22/24 from 9:00 am -5:00 pm EST. Yes, there will be recordings!

Learn the Confident Content Framework with Focused & Flow Sprints so you can share your content consistently, strategically, and with intention as the large national brands that I create content for as a food stylist, recipe developer, and content creator since 2013.

This retreat is your moment to pause and create while receiving feedback and support. It's time to step out of the ideation process (and the guilt of “not posting enough”) and get to work.

Maybe you’re focused on the day-to-day and there's barely enough time to create, share, and engage with your content, but you know this is how you and your work are seen. It's time to build sustainable visibility that feels authentic to you.

This is sustainable and nourished content creation without the hustle, pressure, and endless loops of not knowing what to post that fits into your very full life.

You will feel accomplished and supported and leave with a clear action plan of how you will take steps toward creating aligned content for the next 90 days. This goes beyond planning and ideation—you will get to work on at least two weeks of content (with feedback) and have it ready to go at the end of the retreat and if you need more support join The Confident Content Collective

During The Content Retreat here are some ideas to work on in your business and that I can support you with developing:

Content creation & development
Course & community building
Creating freebies & Ebooks
Crafting your IG, LinkedIn, and Pinterest bios
Creative blocks & energetic alignment
Newsletter & Substack building
Pinterest strategy & setup
Podcast building & editing resources
Social media strategy, including creating and editing posts
Squarespace website strategy & design

This goes beyond the latest trends and focuses on what's sustainable for you (also taking into account what will convert and getting you leads and sales).

I know you don't want or need to sign up for another online course or workshop. You want to be in community and support your specific goals, desires, and dreams around your business and content creation plus step into action. I’m here to help!

FAQs

Carla, this feels like a lot for me! I am new in my business or am a seasoned entrepreneur. How can you help me? I have worked with both idea-stage entrepreneurs and those with over a decade or more of experience. Question: What's the cost of showing up in your business the way you are right now? How much longer will you continue on that journey? If you have a poppy seed’s worth of interest, join us for The Content Retreat Preview (Saturday only) here
Do I have to post on Instagram or social media every day? Heck no! This is about finding what works for you and your business. Period. I am here to help you expand your presence in a way that feels aligned for you. That might mean creating a Substack, but that can also mean speaking as a guest on a podcast or something not listed here, depending on your goals.
Who should join? I am not an entrepreneur or a small business. Should I come? I have worked with and created content and creation strategies for large national brands like The Institute for Integrative Nutrition, Evolution_18 by Bobbi Brown, Tadin Tea & Herb Co., and Bumble Bee Tuna. I do this 1:1 for them. Note: Our space is female-forward and for those comfortable in that space.
When does this start? Once you purchase, you will be sent your bonuses, an itinerary for the retreat. If you are joining me in-person you must respond to the email for more details.
Is this retreat worth it? Clients have gone from zero to 250,000 IG followers in one year, made $75,000 in one month, and landed book deals two weeks after their calls with me. If you are ready to step into a fuller and brighter version of your vision and business, this is for you. Get ready to roll up your sleeves. It’s go time! Note: Your results may vary.
Do I have to attend the workshops and collective gatherings? No, you always have the choice and space to work independently. As a mom of two young children, sometimes my vibe is head down and headphones on; trust your own flow.
What should I have with me? Whatever you want to work on plus your laptop, phone, and chargers, and if you like to write things down, bring a journal, pens, or planner. Please have your beverages, snacks, and a nourishing lunch ready. I will send you the details to purchase cacao. Note: If you are joining us in-person there are places to purchase coffee and lunch. Food will not be provided.
Where is the online retreat space? This is wherever you feel comfortable, preferably a quiet space where you can concentrate and focus on you and your content. You will join us via the Zoom link when you are ready!
How many spaces are available? We have a maximum of 20 spaces available to keep this container intimate and supportive for you. You can always book a 1:1 call with me to receive extra support.
Will you do this retreat again? Yes, I am doing quarterly retreats. The next one is being held Saturday 12/7 and Sunday 12/8. If you would like more support, join The Confident Content Collective.
Do you offer discounts? I offer a preview of the retreat. You can also use Afterpay or Klarna to create a payment plan for this offering.
I can only attend part of this retreat. Should I still come? Yes! So many times I have said no to things that deeply resonated with me because of all the moving parts in my life. If you want to join us for a few hours or just one day, you are welcome! Women who joined the last retreat for a few sessions were surprised by how much they got out of joining us for a few hours.
Are the workshops recorded? Yes! All the workshops with be recorded. Join us for all or part of The Content Retreats online live, in-person, or watch on your own time!
