      <image:title>Blog - Stop Creating Content Pillars: A Simpler Approach for Busy Estheticians - We started the way I always do…</image:title>
      <image:caption>coffee, comfy couches, life stuff first. Then we got down to business, and she hit me with the question: “What ARE content pillars? Everyone keeps telling me I need them.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Stop Creating Content Pillars: A Simpler Approach for Busy Estheticians</image:title>
      <image:caption>This pillar was all how-to content. Frameworks, strategies, tutorials on staying consistent, using tools like Metricool, writing better emails. But my audience didn’t engage. Because busy solo business owners don’t care about learning a new tool.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Stop Creating Content Pillars: A Simpler Approach for Busy Estheticians</image:title>
      <image:caption>This pillar was all about sharing different types of AI prompts, tool reviews &amp; capabilities. I posted about AI because I’m genuinely fascinated by it. I’d share a prompt that helped me write an email in five minutes, or a tool that could transcribe client calls. Stuff I thought was game-changing.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Stop Creating Content Pillars: A Simpler Approach for Busy Estheticians</image:title>
      <image:caption>This was the hardest pillar for me to create. I felt awkward filming myself. I worried people would think “who cares what you’re doing?” But that content… me getting lunch and talking about my mindset. Me sharing in the car about what I do and don’t do (boundaries). That’s the stuff that connected with my audience. People didn’t want my best tips. They wanted to see ME. The person behind the business. The thinking behind the work.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Stop Creating Content Pillars: A Simpler Approach for Busy Estheticians - See the difference?</image:title>
      <image:caption>One is CREATING content to fill a bucket. The other is DOCUMENTING what you’re already doing—and explaining the why behind it. One feels like homework. The other feels like conversation.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Heart of the Work Beauty Cult isn’t just a supplier, they’re a trusted partner for estheticians looking to grow their knowledge and their business. But that relationship wasn’t being reflected in their communication. We wanted to create an email strategy that felt helpful, not salesy. That prioritized education, clarity and consistency. And that made people want to stick around, not just for products, but for the support and insight that came with them.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Heart of the Work This project was rooted in community. Each partner brought something different—arts-based workshops, Treaty 6 education, and inclusion sessions led by Muslim women—offering participants different ways to engage in meaningful conversations about racism and belonging. More than just a series of events, this was about building relationships, honouring lived experience, and helping communities imagine what anti-racism could look like at the neighbourhood level.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Heart of the Work This business is all about independence. Giving beauty professionals a space of their own to grow their business on their terms. But the website didn’t reflect that. It lacked clear messaging, had limited information about renting a studio and didn’t showcase the experience or success of current tenants. We knew that if we wanted the right people to find them, and take action, we needed to tell the story in a more intentional way.</image:caption>
