Do you feel stuck — circling the same mountain of ideas, waiting for clarity, and never gaining momentum? I’ve been there too. The turning point for me came when I committed to a challenge. What happened next completely changed my YouTube channel, my business, and even the way I think about creating content. In this episode, I’m sharing: My story of posting daily for 21 days (and what it taught me). The surprising ways challenges bring clarity about what you want to talk about and who you’re serving. How consistency sparks creativity and helps you come up with fresh ideas. Why challenges create return + binge viewers (and why YouTube LOVES that). How challenges send the right signals to the algorithm so your YouTube channel grows faster. The role faith played for me in staying consistent, even when I wanted to quit. If you’ve been waiting for the “perfect time” to start, this episode will show you why momentum comes after you take the first step. 👉🏻 Be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss what I’ve got coming later this fall — a new way for us to walk through a challenge together! 👉🏻 Grab my FREEnVideo Ideas Guide: https://thisisvideoschool.mykajabi.com/opt-in 👉🏻 Email me and tell my what you'd like me to include in the challenge: virginia@thisisvirginiakerr.com

But instead of giving up, God used this season to teach me lessons I really didn’t want to learn…but desperately needed. And today I want to share them with you—through the lens of my own struggles—because if you feel delayed, stuck, or like your YouTube channel just isn’t growing, maybe these are the exact lessons He wants you to hear too.   Learn more about my coaching program, This Is YouTube School here.
