- Reminder: Your value isn't tied to visibility metrics!
Why It Feels Draining

- Not aligned with how God designed you.
Biblical Encouragement: Jesus' Rhythm of Solitude & Service

- Batch content to minimize daily drain.

- Automate and repurpose content strategically.
- Lean into written formats (blog posts, email newsletters) or whatever feels most natural.
Shift Your Mindset: Visibility as Service, Not Self-Promotion
