The Creative Juice Podcast

Hey there, I'm Meg!

I’ve built a thriving illustration business in small pockets of time, and now I help artists, makers and creatives grow their business with sustainable systems and intentional strategy.

10 \/\/ Plan Your Social Media with Strategy (and avoid burnout!)

First Published: July 15th 2025

If social media has ever left you feeling creatively drained, inconsistent, or just completely overwhelmed, then this episode is for you!

Today, I'm flipping the script on the way you plan your content and introducing you to a method that actually supports your creative business (and your sanity).

Today we’re diving into content pillars...a beautiful blend of structure and freedom that lets you post with purpose, not panic. Whether you're currently ghosting your grid or stuck in a loop of second-guessing every post, let’s find a new rhythm together.

I’ve been exactly where you are. Let’s reimagine your socials with strategy and sustainability!


What We Cover in This Episode:

Why social media feels so exhausting (and how to shift that)

What content pillars are and why they’re game-changers

Real-world examples you can adapt to your creative business

How to use batching + pillars to plan months of content at once

Why systems aren’t the enemy of creativity


Key Takeaways:

You’re not bad at social media, you’re just missing a strategy that works for you.

Content pillars help you post with clarity, not chaos.

Consistency doesn’t mean constantly - it means sustainability on your terms.
