In your head your Instagram content is aesthetic, professional, and totally on-brand.
But then you open Canva, start playing around, and after an hour the design on your screen looks nothing like what you pictured.
It’s frustrating, it wastes time, and it makes you wonder if you’re even “creative enough” for this whole social media thing.
Here’s the truth: Your creativity isn’t the problem.
The real issue is that you don’t have the right tools to bring those ideas to life.
Why your content doesn’t look the way you imagined
There are a few common reasons this happens, and let me tell you: It’s not because you’re bad at Canva or lack ideas.
1) You’re starting from scratch. Every time you open a blank design, you spend ages experimenting with layouts and fonts… and end up with something that doesn’t feel right.
2) Canva’s free templates don’t fit your brand. Maybe you’ve collected a bunch of freebies or use the library in Canva to something suitable. But often the problem with these templates? They’re too generic, made for other niches, or just don’t work with your style.
3) Design isn’t your job. You didn’t start your business to be a designer, and you also don’t want to get a design degree just to make your content look professional.
When you add all that up, no wonder content creation feels heavy.
A simple way to make content you actually like
If you want your posts to look the way you imagine them in your head, you don’t need more creativity — you need a better system.
Here’s what works:
1. Stop starting from scratch
Give yourself a strong starting point with templates that are designed for online business owners and service providers (not ecommerce, hobby projects or influencers).
2. Use templates that are easy to customize
The best templates aren’t cookie-cutter. You can swap in your own colors, fonts, and brand elements so the final design feels unique to you.
3. Choose templates designed with conversion in mind.
This is the game changer for most creators.
In your feed, it’s not about looking “pretty.” Your content also needs to stop the scroll, get saved, get clicked, and move people closer to buying.
When you shift your focus from “making it look nice” to “using templates that work strategically,” content creation finally becomes easier.
What changes when your content finally matches your vision
✅ You start posting with confidence because your feed looks consistent and professional.
✅ You save hours every week because you’re not stuck tweaking fonts and layouts for every post.
✅ And your content actually does its job — building trust, growing your audience, and helping you sell more.
That sounds amazing, doesn’t it?
Now, how do you get there? Here’s the shortcut:
That’s exactly why I created the Template Membership.

Plus, every month you get new content calendars with done-for-you ideas, so you always know what to post and how to connect with your audience.
So you can create content that looks the way you want it to (and actually sell more!).
