Are you exhausted from creating content that feels forced?
Do you doubt whether what you're making actually matters?
Have you tried every productivity hack and content strategy out there, but still feel stuck in a creative rut?
If you've been creating content for about a year and find yourself constantly drained, questioning your work, or feeling like you're just going through the motions – you're not alone. And more importantly, it's not your fault.
The Problem Isn't Your Content Strategy – It's What's Happening Inside You
Most creators think they need better scripts, more efficient workflows, or the latest growth hacks. But here's what I've learned after creating over 700 YouTube videos (most getting zero views) and helping dozens of creators transform their careers:
The real issue isn't your content. It's the internal barriers keeping you from creating with confidence, joy, and presence.
You've probably tried:
- Following every "proven" content formula
- Copying what successful creators do
- Pushing through the exhaustion with more discipline
- Telling yourself you just need to work harder
But you're still here, feeling burned out and wondering if maybe you're the problem that needs fixing.
Good news: You're absolutely right. And that's exactly why there's hope.
Hi, I'm Shawn – And I Know Exactly How You Feel
I'm a Certified High Performance Coach through the High Performance Institute, and I've been where you are. Since 2015, I've created over 700 YouTube videos, run a podcast, and built a coaching business. Most of those early videos? Zero views. I know what it feels like to question everything you're doing and wonder if you should just quit.
But here's what changed everything: I stopped focusing on the "what" of content creation and started focusing on the "who" – the person behind the content.
From Frustrated Teacher to Thriving Community Builder: A Real Transformation
Let me share what happened with one of my clients – a teacher who was completely burned out in their day job. Despite trying everything to make their position work, they felt stuck and frustrated. They knew something had to change, but didn't know what or how.
Through our coaching process, we didn't focus on job-hunting strategies or resume tips. Instead, we explored what was truly great about their current role and what they genuinely wanted to create in the world.
The breakthrough came when they realized they valued experimenting with teaching methods, but their current school district didn't support that creativity. As we dug deeper into what their ideal work would look like, something exciting emerged: the vision of building a community to help at-risk and marginalized kids learn creative skills.
We then worked together to clearly articulate what this community would look like, identify what needed to happen to make it successful, and map out the practical steps to transition from teaching in a traditional school district to running their own online community.
The initial steps happened within our 3-month coaching relationship. Within a year, they had created a passion-focused community they absolutely loved – one that gave them both the freedom of time for family and a successful, fulfilling business.
This wasn't about learning new tactics. This was about uncovering what was already inside them and removing the barriers that kept them stuck.
What You'll Walk Away With From Your Free 30-Minute Strategy Session
This isn't a sales call disguised as coaching. This is a real strategy session where you'll get immediate value, whether you ever work with me again or not.
By the end of our 30 minutes together, you'll have:
✓ Crystal-clear understanding of what's actually keeping you from progressing (hint: it's probably not what you think)
✓ Specific habits and actionable ideas to get past your biggest current struggle
✓ A shift in perspective about what's possible when you focus on developing yourself as a creator, not just your content
This isn't about teaching you how to write better scripts or optimize your posting schedule. This is about addressing the internal blocks that make creating feel like a struggle instead of a joy.
Why This Works When Everything Else Hasn't
I use the Certified High Performance Coaching (CHPC) process, which has an average client satisfaction rate of 9.4/10 across hundreds of thousands of sessions. But more importantly, I understand your world because I live it too.
Here's what my clients say:
"Shawn has a knack for getting me out of my comfort zone simply by asking the right questions. I often finished our sessions with excitement to get to work on the plan we crafted as I worked towards a better me." – James H.
"High Performance Coaching helped me clarify my purpose in life, not just in a big dream kind of way but also in a concrete daily practice way. It forced me to look at the things in my way and gave me strategies to overcome them, personal strategies that work for me. I honestly wouldn't have weathered this pandemic so well without them!" – Dara B.
"But Wait... Is This Actually Going to Help My Situation?"
I get it. You might be thinking:
"This sounds too salesy" – I promise this isn't a high-pressure sales call. You'll get real value whether you ever hire me or not. My goal is to help you see what's possible and give you tools you can use immediately.
"I don't see how this applies to my content creation struggles" – Here's the thing: this isn't coaching on how to write better hooks or produce podcasts more efficiently. This is personal development that makes creating those things feel natural and energizing instead of draining.
"I should focus on content strategy, not myself" – I thought the same thing for years. But here's what I learned: all the best content strategies in the world won't help if you're burned out, doubting yourself, or creating from a place of exhaustion. When you fix what's happening inside, the external strategies actually start working.
"I don't have time to focus on myself" – The creators who think they don't have time for this work are usually the ones who need it most. Thirty minutes now could save you months of spinning your wheels.

"What makes you different from other coaches?" I'm not just a coach – I'm a creator who's been in your shoes. I've felt the exhaustion, the self-doubt, and the frustration of creating content that doesn't connect. I combine professional coaching certification with real-world creator experience.
"Is this really free?" Yes, completely free. No credit card required, no hidden costs. This is my way of serving the creator community and showing you what's possible.
Don't Let Another Month Go By Feeling Stuck
You became a creator because you had something important to share with the world. That vision is still inside you – it's just buried under burnout, self-doubt, and exhaustion.
The solution isn't another content strategy. It's becoming the confident, joyful, present creator you were meant to be.
