Ever blame yourself for procrastinating or having ‘no motivation' to post content for your business?  You might be pretty hard on yourself because you “just can't do it”.  There could be more to it than you think. There could be a lot of belief in your subconscious holding you back from posting and showing up online for your business.  An underlying fear or trauma. It sounds deep, but it could be! On episode 233 of The Content Queen Podcast we are joined by Gabby Pavlovic an Emotion Release Technique (ERT) Practitioner and Naturopath (and content creator herself) to share with us what this all means and how we can potentially move forward from these emotions.  If you LOVED this episode, make sure you share this on your Instagram stories and tag us @contentqueenmariah and @revitalising.health. ⁠⁠⁠ ✨ ⁠⁠JOIN CONTENT BOOTCAMP if you want to work on the strategic part of your marketing⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠✨⁠ KEY EPISODE TAKEAWAYS
