Hi, I'm Jenna

You’re not lazy — you’re just running the wrong race.

If you’re a wedding pro or creative constantly trying to keep up with posting schedules, SEO blogs, Reels, newsletters, and Pinterest pins… welcome to the content hamster wheel.

And if you’re tired? You’re not alone.

The truth is, consistent marketing doesn’t have to feel like a second full-time job. When you align your content with your brand voice — and build from that foundation — you can market smarter, not harder.

Here are 5 copy shortcuts to make your content feel lighter, clearer, and finally you.


1. Create content pillars based on your actual voice, not trends

Forget batching by random topics. Start with 3–5 emotionally aligned content pillars — themes that are true to you and your dream client.

For example:

  • If your voice is poetic and grounded, use storytelling as a pillar
  • If your energy is warm and educational, create client education posts in your own tone
  • If you’re bold and edgy, give behind-the-scenes takes or truth-telling hot tips

Your brand pillars should feel like your voice in motion.
Not a trend. Not a formula.


2. Swipe your own stories for effortless captions

Your voice already lives in your stories — now it’s time to repurpose them.

Look through your voice memos, DMs, or journal entries. Then reframe them into caption starters like:

  • “I’ll never forget the moment when…”
  • “Something I wish more people knew about this work…”
  • “Here’s what I’d say if you were sitting across from me…”

Start writing from that place. Your people want you — not a repackaged hook from a viral post.


3. Turn your About Page into 6+ social posts

That paragraph you poured your heart into? It’s a goldmine.

Break it down into:

  • Your why → IG reel script
  • A core belief → quote carousel
  • Personal anecdote → newsletter intro
  • Favorite client moment → testimonial story
  • Values list → swipe post or checklist
  • Brand statement → bold homepage copy overlay

When you stop treating website copy and social copy as separate worlds, you create content that flows and feels cohesive.


4. Use email and blog cross-promotion wisely

You don’t have to reinvent the wheel every time you write an email. Repurpose blog posts and long-form captions into short, heartfelt emails that:

  • Tease one story or idea
  • Offer a quick tip or shift in perspective
  • Remind your people who you are and why you do this

One blog = 2–3 emails = multiple Instagram prompts.
Efficiency without losing connection? That’s the sweet spot.


5. Batch your copy by vibe, not by calendar

Here’s a secret: batching works better when you do it by energy.

Try this instead of a rigid calendar:

  • Feeling nostalgic or tender? Write story-based posts.
  • Feeling confident? Write sales pages or bold email CTAs.
  • Feeling chatty? Write carousel intros or brand manifestos.

You’ll create faster — and with way more clarity — when you honor how your voice feels rather than forcing it into slots.
