What to Post When You’re Stuck
(Because Staring at a Blank Canva Template Doesn’t Count as Strategy)
We’ve all been there—sitting in front of your phone or laptop, blinking at a blinking cursor, wondering what on earth to post today. Or tomorrow. Or for the next three weeks.
When inspiration has ghosted you and your content calendar is looking suspiciously empty, don’t panic. Here are go-to post ideas you can grab right now—no spiral required.
1. A Quick Tip Your Audience Can Use Today
Don’t overthink it—what’s something small but powerful you share with clients all the time? That mindset reframe or practical tool you think is too simple? It’s not.
Try:
“Feeling scattered? Try this 2-minute grounding exercise I use with clients before every session.”
“A reminder: Your to-do list isn’t a measure of your worth.”
2. A Peek Behind the Scenes
Show your audience what your coaching practice really looks like—workspace vibes, session prep, the sticky notes and soul work.
Try:
“Prepping for client sessions today. Here’s what I always have nearby: ✨”
“This is what holding space for someone looks like (and yes, sometimes that includes coffee, tissues, and cheering them on mid-breakthrough).”
3. A Client Win or Testimonial
Showcase the transformation. It doesn’t have to be flashy—it just has to be real.
Try:
“My client went from paralyzed by perfectionism to launching her first offer in two weeks. Here’s how we did it together.”
“‘You helped me believe in myself again.’ — A recent client who made my heart explode.”
4. A Myth You Want to Bust
Let’s lovingly dismantle the lies people believe about coaching, growth, or success.
Try:
“You don’t need to fix yourself to hire a coach. You’re not broken.”
“Productivity tip: Rest is a strategy, not a reward.”
5. A “Start Here” Post
Not everyone scrolling knows what kind of coach you are—or how you can help them. Reintroduce yourself in a way that makes it crystal clear.
Try:
“If you’re new here, I’m [Name]—a coach for high-achieving women who are ready to stop people-pleasing and start showing up fully. Start here ⬇️”
“What coaching with me looks like (hint: it’s not just goal-setting—it’s nervous system-friendly transformation).”
6. Something Personal (But Still On Brand)
Let your people see you. Share your story, your struggles, or even what’s keeping you grounded lately.
Try:
“The reason I became a coach? Because I used to be stuck exactly where you are.”
“Things I do when I feel imposter syndrome creeping in 👇 (yes, even coaches feel it too).”
7. Repurpose an Old Post That Deserves a Comeback
That post that got great engagement 6 months ago? Or that carousel that only got 12 likes but 4 DMs? Bring it back.
Try:
Take your old post about “3 signs you’re ready for coaching” and turn it into a short Reel.
Pull quotes from a past blog or podcast and share them as single-slide graphics.
TL;DR:
When you’re stuck, post:
A tip
A peek behind the scenes
A client win
A myth-buster
A reintroduction
Something personal
Something old but gold
