How to Plan a Month of Wellness Content in One Afternoon

Step 1: Pick Your 4 Weekly Content Themes
Choose 4 core areas you want to be known for.
This keeps your content focused and consistent.
Examples:
- Gut health education
- Mindset tips for healing
- Client wins and testimonials
- Behind-the-scenes of your coaching or self-care
One theme per week = built-in structure for the whole month.
Step 2: Decide on Your Weekly Content Format
Stick to 3–4 pieces of content each week.
Mix and match formats:
- 1 educational post (carousel, caption, short video)
- 1 personal story or lesson
- 1 client-focused post (testimonial, transformation, FAQ)
- 1 reel or live video for visibility
This balance keeps your content fresh but manageable.
Step 3: Brainstorm Post Ideas in Batches
Set a timer for 30 minutes.
Write down 3–5 post ideas for each of your 4 themes. Don’t overthink—just brain dump.
Example for “Mindset tips”:
- 3 beliefs I had to unlearn to grow my wellness business
- Morning routine that keeps me grounded before client calls
- One mindset shift that helped me raise my prices without guilt
You now have more than enough for the month.
Step 4: Draft Simple Captions
Block off one hour.
Write short captions using the ideas you just brainstormed.
Don’t aim for perfection—just clarity and value.
Keep each caption:
- Short and clear
- Focused on one takeaway
- Ending with a call to action (comment, save, book, etc.)
Step 5: Prep Visuals in a Single Session
Use Canva, your phone camera, or screen grabs.
Aim for:
- 4–5 self photos (even selfies work)
- Branded graphics for tips
- Screenshots of testimonials or messages
- Short talking videos
You don’t need a fancy camera—just confidence and clarity.

Step 6: Use a Scheduler or Template
Plug your content into a tool like Later, Metricool, or even Google Sheets.
Seeing your full month at a glance makes things easier to adjust.
Optional: Create a weekly email that mirrors your content themes.

Bonus: Go Live Once a Month
Plan one Instagram Live or webinar per month.
Keep it casual but valuable—Q&A, tips, or storytime.
It helps your audience connect with the real you.
