What happens when your content calendar makes you want to set your business on fire?
In this episode, Megan Dowd joins Aggressively Human to talk about what it actually looks like to build a business that respects your creative cycles—and what happens when you don’t. From the pressure to always be visible to the collapse that can follow, we explore what it’s like to build a business while also being a human with a nervous system.
We talk about the performance trap of “consistent content,” what to do when you’re no longer interested in your own work, and how to use data and systems to support you.
This is a conversation about honoring your capacity without disappearing, how to say no to content you resent, and why creative rest is not a threat to your business—but often the reason you stay in it at all.
