From Prompt to Personal

Behind the Scenes Edition

AI can draft the skeleton—but your voice brings it to life.
This week, we’re walking through 3 steps to take any prompt and make it personal, powerful, and proudly yours.

Anyone can generate content.
But content that actually sounds like you? That’s what cuts through the noise, builds trust, and makes your audience feel like they know you.

In a feed full of formulas, we’re choosing something more human.
More honest.
More you.

Let’s turn structure into soul, one post at a time.

AI | Susan Balding

You’ve got the tools, the AI. The drafts almost sound right, but not quite. Let’s be real. Prompts are helpful, but they don’t know your stories. They don’t hear your voice or feel your timing. Prompt to Personal is about taking that rough first draft and shaping it into something that sounds like you with your quirks, your heart, your point of view. That’s the difference between content that fills a feed and content that actually connects.

Here’s the good news. You don’t have to start from scratch every time. With a few small shifts, like swapping in your own experience, anchoring it to a moment that mattered, or adding just one strong opinion, you turn something generic into something that sticks. That’s the art of going from prompt to personal. It’s not about doing more. It’s about showing up with more you.

Let the sparks fly | Susan Balding

Every great post starts with a spark.

It could be a thought you scribbled in your notes app, a voice memo you recorded in the car, or a Bold Content Kit prompt. Whatever it is, that spark is where the real you live and where your content should begin.

From there, it’s just three bold steps to turn that little flicker into a full post that sounds like you, connects with your people, and carries your voice all the way through.

Here’s how to go from Prompt to Personal in 3 simple steps:

💡 Step 1: Start with a Spark

Pick a story-first prompt, not just a topic.
Instead of: “Share a productivity tip”
Try: “Tell us about a moment when everything went wrong and how you bounced back.”

🗣 Step 2: Layer in Your Voice

Don’t edit your tone to sound like a corporate robot. Keep the rhythm of how you actually talk.

  • Add the words and phrases you use in real life

  • Use sentence fragments, pauses, or a little sass if that’s you

  • Cut the fluff. Keep the flavor.

🛠 Pro tip: Read it out loud. If it doesn’t sound like something you’d say, rewrite it until it does.

Where to find it: 📝 Plug + Post caption templates make it easy in the Bold Content Kit.

🔁 Step 3: Tie it Back to the Brand

Every story can lead somewhere.
A lesson. A shift. A moment of clarity.
This is where you bridge the gap between personal and purposeful.

  • Link the story to your offer, your service, or your mission

  • Give your audience a takeaway

  • Make it clear why it matters

🛠 This is where your story turns into content that converts.
Where to find it: ➡️ Story-to-Offer Bridges in the Bold Content Kit.

🧰 Quick Tip

Use one prompt → create a post → voice note your edit → turn it into a video later.
(Your story = repurposable gold.)

Story Work | Susan Balding

🧱 Mini-Stack Repurposing Tip

One prompt. Three pieces of content.
Let your story work harder (not you). Try this content stack:

  1. The post:
    Use the story as your caption—hook, heart, and takeaway.

  2. The voiceover:
    Turn it into a short video or voiceover Reel. Keep the same story just speak it.

  3. The carousel:
    Break the post into slides:
    Slide 1 – Bold headline
    Slides 2–4 – Breakdown of the story or value
    Final slide – Takeaway or soft Call To Action

🔁 Same idea. Different formats. More reach.

🔥 Bold Challenge

Pick one post you’ve written (or half-written).
Now run it through this 3-step process and bring it to life.
💬 Then share it and tag me. I’d love to see the “you” behind the post.
