I also walk through how to organize your ideas, create evergreen content you can reuse all year, and use monthly themes to make content creation feel easier and more focused.We also talk about why consistency matters more than ever in today’s algorithms, how to time-block your content creation, and what tools can help you stay organized and avoid burnout.If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start with your 2026 plan, this episode will help you reset, refocus, and move forward with confidence.Links Mentioned in This Episode2026 Planning Masterclass#GetSocialSmart AcademyLet's connect! @katielance

As the year comes to a close, I’m recording one last, completely unscripted podcast - from my driveway. With no notes, no studio, and no filters, this is a messy, honest year-end reflection on business, life, and everything in between.In this episode, I share what this past year really looked like behind the scenes, why consistency doesn’t always mean perfection, and how I’m thinking about community, connection, content, and in-person experiences moving into the new year. We’ll talk about social media, AI, handwritten notes, face-to-face conversations, and why relationships matter more than ever in a noisy world.If you’re ending the year feeling proud, tired, hopeful, or unsure - you’re not alone. Consider this a reminder that it’s okay to give yourself grace and that done is better than perfect.Links mentioned in the episode:#GetSocialSmart AcademySmall Group CoachingLet's connect on Instagram @katielanceGet free stickers hereWould love to hear your feedback and what you would like to see in the new year - email me katie@katielance.com.
