If I could wave a magic wand right now and give you one of two things: tomorrow morning you wake up and your Instagram account has 50,000 new followers, or tomorrow morning you wake up with an additional $100,000 in revenue for your business.
Which one would you choose?
Today I am sharing two stories that illustrate exactly what I mean, and I am answering the question every business owner is really asking: how does Instagram actually make me money?
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE
- 06:35 Why you do not need a huge audience to make serious money on Instagram and what actually determines whether followers convert into revenue
- 08:26 Meet Martine: a Pilates studio owner with fewer than 1,000 followers who made $3,000 in a single day from two clients who had been quietly watching her content for months
- 11:18 Meet Amber: a burnout recovery coach and former veterinarian who built a marketing system that turned her Instagram visibility into consistent leads and a $12,000 client
- 15:57 The framework Elizabeth teaches inside Hot Reels: visibility leads to trust, trust leads to action, action leads to revenue
- 21:22 How the $12,000 client found Amber, what the funnel looked like, and why it felt like the easiest sale she had ever made
- 26:27 Why every interaction with your content is a deposit into the trust bank and how that compounds into predictable revenue over time
- 31:05 Why you do not get an award for doing it by yourself and what Amber says about the real value of coaching and implementation
CLIENT SUCCESS STORIES
Martine
Martine owns a Pilates studio in Seattle. When her breakthrough moment happened, she had fewer than 1,000 Instagram followers. No viral video, no influencer status. Just a business owner who consistently showed up and shared content that resonated with her ideal Pilates client. Two potential clients reached out on the same day after quietly watching her content for months. Between those two sales, she generated $3,000 in a single day entirely from her Instagram marketing efforts.
Amber
Amber is a burnout and stress recovery coach and former veterinarian of 17 years who helps high achievers, creatives, and vet med professionals heal from burnout. When she came to Elizabeth, she was speaking to everyone and seeing no traction. Together they refined her messaging and audience specifically toward veterinarians, built out a masterclass funnel, and Amber closed a $12,000 client from the very first time she ran it. Since recording her podcast interview, she ran a second masterclass that drew over 150 sign-ups. The funnel is working.

Have you ever spent 20 minutes writing the perfect Instagram caption, carefully choosing every word, making sure you sounded knowledgeable, only to post it and hear crickets?
Then five minutes later, someone posts a reel that feels almost ridiculously simple, and somehow it takes off. People are commenting, sharing it, booking with them. And you find yourself wondering: how is that content outperforming mine? Mine is so much more valuable.
After coaching hundreds of entrepreneurs across dozens of industries, I've noticed something fascinating — the people with the most expertise are often the ones who struggle the most to communicate it. Not because they aren't brilliant, but because they've forgotten what it feels like to not know what they know. Today I'm sharing the story of my Hot Reels client Christa Rypins, and the messaging shift that completely changed how she creates content.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE
- 07:28 What the "curse of expertise" is and why the more experience you have, the more likely you are to fall into this trap
- 10:55 Why people don't hire the smartest expert. They hire the person who makes them feel understood
- 12:16 Meet Christa Rypins: chronic pain specialist, Hot Reels client, and the messaging shift that changed everything
- 18:23 Why bite-sized educational tips aren't enough and the courage it takes to speak to the problem instead of the solution
- 21:14 Your homework: how to find your next five hooks using the exact words of your ideal client
- 25:45 The client who quietly watched Christa's content for months and what finally made her hire
- 33:27 Three lessons to take away from Christa's story

Have you ever looked at your Instagram and thought — I'm doing everything I'm supposed to do. I'm posting consistently, I'm showing my face, I'm making reels. People even comment that my content is helpful. So why isn't anyone actually converting into a paying client or customer? If that's you, you're not crazy and you're not alone. Today I want to challenge one of the biggest misconceptions floating around the online business world: that if you just create enough content, the sales will eventually come. And today I'm sharing the story of one of my Hot Reels graduates who learned that lesson firsthand. She went from feeling completely defeated by Instagram to getting 7x more reel views and attracting clients directly from her content.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE
- 04:03 Why consistency alone isn't enough and the real reason content isn't converting into clients
- 05:26 The most important question to ask before you film anything: what is the job of this piece of content?
- 08:11 Meet Caroline Hull: podcast strategist, Hot Reels graduate, and someone who had the expertise but couldn't get Instagram to work for her business
- 12:43 Why attention without clarity rarely becomes revenue and the four things your profile must communicate instantly
- 18:43 Caroline's client story: thousands of podcast downloads, zero conversions and the content shift that changed everything
- 21:33 Caroline's Hot Reels results: 7x reel views, increased engagement, and her highest revenue month since her brand pivot
- 24:28 Why a million views on the wrong message produces less revenue than 5,000 views to the right person

If you posted content consistently for five straight months and your follower count barely moved, would you keep going? Would you keep showing up every week if it felt like nobody was watching? Today I'm sharing the story of one of my Hot Reels clients who did exactly that. She joined my program with about 2,500 followers and a totally dormant account she hadn't posted on for years. She spent the first few months of Hot Reels wondering if any of it was working. By the end of our year together, she grew to more than 70,000 followers. If you've ever felt like you're posting, trying, learning, showing up, and still wondering if Instagram is even worth it anymore for your business, this episode is for you.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- 01:36 What this new 5-part series is all about (real client stories, real strategies, real data)
- 06:34 The yellow pages analogy: why Instagram is the greatest marketing opportunity small business owners have ever had
- 13:41 The mindset that allowed me to post every day for over a year with little to no growth and keep going anyway
- 17:21 Meet Asli Wade: seven-figure Etsy seller, handmade gift creator, and Hot Reels graduate
- 22:27 The truth about what Asli's growth actually looked like — five months of almost nothing
- 28:34 Why the viral reel revealed the foundation she spent months building, not the other way around
- 30:02 Why I cap Hot Reels at 20 business owners and what close-proximity coaching actually changes

I am so excited to bring on one of the leading Instagram strategists for business owners — Michelle Gifford. She helps six and seven-figure brands grow their audience, sell out their offers, and generate real revenue through Instagram.

Today I'm pulling back the curtain and sharing seven ways I've been using AI behind the scenes every single week to market my business, generate leads, increase sales, and save hours of work.

Today I'm sharing something that sounds a little boring on paper but has changed everything about how I use AI. It's not a funnel, it's not a sales page, and it's not a complex system. It's a single living document. And it has become one of the most valuable marketing assets I've built in the last two years. If you've ever felt like AI gives you generic, forgettable content, this episode is going to show you exactly why that's happening and what to fix in your strategy moving forward.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE

- 06:24 The exhausting mistake most business owners are making with AI: starting from zero every single time
- 07:49 What an AI Thought Partner document actually is — and why it's a living, breathing asset
- 10:00 Category 1: High-level business overview — who you are, what you do, what makes you different
- 11:51 Category 2: Your target audience — what keeps them up at 2am, what they desire, what they fear
- 14:14 Why being a paid user of both Claude and ChatGPT means this document goes everywhere with you
- 14:44 Category 3: Your offers — what you sell, who it's for, what objections people have before buying
- 18:27 Category 4: Your brand voice — why a list of adjectives isn't enough and what to do instead
- 19:24 Category 5: Your stories — your founder story, client wins, lessons learned, and the moments that shaped your perspective

Every reel, every caption, every time you show your face on camera — you're building something you can't fully see yet. You never know where all of this will lead until you get into action and start finding your voice.
This is part two of my four-part series on how to use AI to market and grow your business on social media without losing what makes you you. Last week I covered the three biggest AI mistakes small business owners make. Today I'm diving into the four things AI actually needs from you if you want your content to stand out instead of blend in.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE
- 01:19 Why Elizabeth is speaking to 150 people in Cincinnati — and what it proves about content compounding over time
- 02:44 Why most small business owners are under-leveraging AI even though everyone is using it
- 03:36 A quick recap of Part 1 — the three biggest AI mistakes (and how to avoid them)
- 04:32 The missing ingredient in most people's AI content strategy: the human element
- 05:00 Thing #1: Your stories — why your lived experience is the raw material of your brand
- 06:52 Thing #2: Your opinions — where thought leadership actually lives
- 09:34 Thing #3: Your client stories — what AI will never know unless you tell it
- 11:50 Thing #4: Your perspective — the differentiator AI can't replicate
- 13:44 Your homework this week: how to build your Story Vault in a Google Doc
- 15:34 What's coming in Part 3 — the exact document Elizabeth built to train AI on her brand
- 15:59 About the live workshop: Build Your AI Thought Partner
YOUR HOMEWORK: BUILD YOUR STORY VAULT
Open a Google Doc this week and create a document called My Story Vault. Add these four headings:
- Stories from my life (mistakes, wins, pivotal moments, childhood memories that connect to your work)
- Client success stories (transformations, results, things clients have said to you)
- Things I believe (your hot takes, opinions, frameworks, things you'd push back on in your industry)
- Questions my audience asks (the same questions you hear on sales calls, in DMs, in emails — every week)
Add five items under each heading. That's it. Once you start feeding this into your AI conversations, the quality of everything it creates for you will shift dramatically.

Instagram is filling up with AI-generated content. And as more small business owners and creators start using these tools, one thing is becoming really clear — everyone is starting to sound the same. So how do you use AI effectively without losing what makes you you? That's exactly what we're tackling today. This is part one of a four-part series on how to use AI in your marketing as a small business owner. We're going back to the basics, laying the right foundation, helping you avoid common mistakes, and making sure you have what you need to stand out instead of blend in.
*INSTAGRAM UPDATE WORTH KNOWING
Instagram just rolled out the ability to reorder your grid posts. To access it, go to your profile, long press on any post, and select Reorder Grid from the menu that appears. You can then drag and drop your posts to change the order they appear on your public profile.
This matters because those first nine posts on your profile often determine whether someone follows you or not. My advice: don't overthink it and don't spend three hours rearranging your feed like it's a living room makeover. But do think strategically about what someone sees within the first five to seven seconds of landing on your profile, and make sure it's positioned to attract your ideal client or customer.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE
02:17 Instagram update: how to reorder your grid posts and why it matters
05:24 Why we're in the "Summer of AI" and the perspective I'm bringing to this series
07:16 The real conversation happening around AI in 2026 (it's not "should I use it" anymore)
07:45 Why using AI is quickly becoming the baseline and what the actual competitive advantage is now
08:39 What AI-generated "slop" looks like and why it's hurting the people posting it
09:36 Why AI is making thought leadership more valuable, not less
10:33 Mistake #1: Waiting until you figure it out (the fear and avoidance trap)
13:50 Mistake #2: Using AI to replace your thinking instead of amplify it
15:37 Mistake #3: Giving AI zero context and why this is the biggest reason outputs feel generic
18:49 The mindset shift that changed everything: treating AI like a strategic thought partner
19:17 One action step to take this week: ask AI to interview you before it creates anything

I am sitting down with Austin Armstrong, author of Virality, keynote speaker, founder of Syllaby AI, and someone who has generated billions of views across social media through short-form video strategy.
We talked about what's actually working on Instagram in 2026 including how Austin uses trial reels to test content, his strategy for repurposing videos across platforms, and why collaborations are still one of the fastest ways to grow your audience organically. But we also went deep into AI.

You already know that strong hooks are one of the biggest things separating content that gets ignored from content that gets watched, shared, and remembered. But today I want to take this a step deeper because most business owners think a hook is only the text at the beginning of a reel. And honestly, that's just one piece of it. There are actually four different places you can hook someone inside of one piece of content. And once you understand this, you'll start seeing viral content completely differently.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE
01:56 The reel Elizabeth posted that hit 86,000+ views and the content strategy lesson inside it
03:18 Why timely, relatable content outperforms polished educational content (and how to use this in your business)
07:06 Hook #1: The text hook — why specificity beats everything
09:22 Hook #2: The visual hook — why most people process your visuals before they read a single word
10:43 Hook #3: The audio hook — your opening words, tone, pacing, and music choice all count
13:42 Hook #4: The caption top line — the most overlooked hook placement of all four
15:06 How to use all four hooks together to create content that stops the scroll AND drives business results
16:52 Next week: how Elizabeth uses AI to reverse engineer viral hooks

Last week we talked about how to grow your account without posting more — strategic commenting, leveraging your warm audience, and repurposing your content. Today we're going deeper into the content itself. If your posts are consistent but not getting shared, reposted, or reaching new people, this episode is going to be a game changer. I'm sharing three strategies, including a newer Instagram feature you should absolutely be using and a simple tool that turns the content you're already creating into more followers.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE
- 02:30: POV-driven content — why having a clear point of view is the #1 thing separating brands that grow from brands that get ignored in 2026
- 04:26: A real-world example of POV content that got 77,000 views for an independent record store
- 08:37: How to use Trial Reels as a safe space to test bold opinions before posting to your main grid
- 09:08: Creating shareable and repostable content — why reposts are one of the fastest growth tools on Instagram right now
- 11:00: How to create content for a cold audience (not just the people who already know you)
- 13:46: DM automation — how it drives engagement, reach, and growth all at once
- 15:37: How comments triggered by DM automation increase your content distribution

I'm sitting down with one of my beloved Hot Reels clients, Christa Rypins — a chronic pain relief specialist, Franklin Method practitioner, and former professional figure skater — to pull back the curtain on her incredible transformation.
When Christa first came into Hot Reels, she was dealing with deep resistance to showing up online. Marketing her business felt emotionally overwhelming and, at times, completely shut her down. Now? She's signing clients directly from her Instagram content, and that one client covered her entire investment in Hot Reels.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- 00:15 Why emotional resistance to posting is more common than you think and how to move through it
- 27:56 How Christa went from complete shutdown around marketing to signing a client whose investment covered her entire Hot Reels enrollment
- 24:42 The messaging mistake most experts make (and how Christa fixed it)
- 19:54 Why Instagram marketing is a long-term play and what "30 leads in 30 days" actually looked like for Christa
- 30:16 How DM automation (ManyChat) turned her content into a lead funnel
- 36:11 What it's like inside Hot Reels — straight from a client who's been in it for 18 months

Have you ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” on Instagram and still seeing no growth?
In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on my own journey. I spent over a year stuck at 1,000 followers while posting reels every single day with almost no traction. Eventually, five specific shifts completely changed the trajectory of my growth.
Those same shifts helped me grow my personal brand to over 35,000 followers, scale my brick-and-mortar dance studio account to more than 60,000 followers on Instagram, and reach over 40,000 followers on TikTok.
What You’ll Learn
01:23 – Why growth on Instagram often takes longer than people expect
04:14 – The first shift that changed everything: making a clear marketing decision
06:33 – Why talking about too many topics confuses the algorithm and your audience
11:06 – How clarity around your niche unlocks growth and visibility
12:28 – Why speaking directly to your ideal client dramatically improves engagement
13:55 – The power of storytelling and specific hooks in your content
14:25 – What real consistency looks like (without burnout)
17:19 – Why hiring mentors can dramatically shorten your growth curve

Two weeks ago, I shared a trial reels strategy that was working beautifully.
In real time, Instagram adjusted.
In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly what changed, what it means for your content, and how to adapt without spiraling. I’m also answering your questions straight from my DMs, including how to know if a trial reel is actually performing well and how to duplicate content the right way.
But this episode is bigger than a feature update.
I’m sharing a powerful lesson from Olympic gold medalist Alysa Liu that completely reframes how we approach Instagram. Because the real key to sustainable growth is not gaming the algorithm. It’s how you hold your worth while you create.
What You'll Learn:
01:33 – Why Instagram shut down the duplicate trial reel loophole
02:51 – What trial reels actually are and how they differ from regular reels
04:42 – Why reposting the same reel within days will now get flagged
06:06 – How to know if your trial reel is truly performing well
08:27 – The exact way to duplicate a reel inside Instagram drafts
09:51 – Why you should always save your videos to your camera roll

I sat down with YouTube marketing strategist Jamar Diggs to talk about how coaches, consultants, and service providers can use long-form video as a strategic top-of-funnel engine. This is not about going viral. This is about visibility that converts.
Jamar breaks down the difference between content created for views and content created for leads. He shares how to build an organic YouTube funnel. We also talk about how YouTube and Instagram can work together to build trust faster and move people toward buying.

02:07 – Why YouTube is powerful for business owners (not influencers)
09:11 – The shift from corporate marketing to building your own lead engine
10:34 – How showing up authentically unlocked more alignment and income
13:21 – Why niche clarity matters on YouTube
16:44 – How evergreen YouTube content becomes a long-term asset

25:29 – The mindset shift business owners must make about YouTube
30:29 – What it really takes to get started (without burnout)

Evergreen content compounds.Videos you post today can generate leads years from now.
Every video is an asset.Each piece of content should guide viewers to a next step, typically a lead magnet that moves them into your email ecosystem.
Long-form builds authority. Short-form builds proximity.YouTube establishes depth and trust. Instagram builds connection and conversation. Together, they create momentum.

Showing up online can feel vulnerable, awkward, and emotionally exhausting.
If you have ever questioned your confidence, your relevance, or whether social media is even worth it anymore, this episode is for you.
In this conversation, I’m joined by Chelsea Peitz, keynote speaker, author, and one of the most thoughtful voices in personal branding and human-centered marketing. We talk about why visibility feels so uncomfortable, what is actually happening in your brain when you post online, and how social media has quietly shifted from connection to consumption.
What You’ll Learn
00:00 – Why showing up online feels vulnerable and emotionally charged for most creators
02:19 – How Chelsea accidentally built a personal brand without trying to be an influencer
07:30 – Why the brain builds trust through screens the same way it does in real life
10:24 – The most common limiting beliefs that stop people from posting consistently
18:35 – How Instagram shifted from connection-based content to entertainment and discovery
21:54 – Why traditional engagement metrics are no longer reliable indicators of success
27:55 – How long-term growth comes from consistency, relationships, and not quitting
33:57 – Why Instagram works best as a relationship-building tool rather than a content machine
Key Takeaways
- Visibility is not neutral and often triggers fear and self-doubt.
- Your discomfort with social media is a human response, not a personal failure.
- Trust can be built through a screen when communication is human and consistent.
- Engagement has changed because people consume content like television.
- Silent viewers still build connection over time.
- Traditional metrics can undermine confidence and motivation.
- Creating your own success metrics builds self-trust.
- Long-term growth comes from relationships and consistency, not trends.

Instagram feels harder than it used to. Your views might be down. Your reach might feel inconsistent. Your content might feel like it is disappearing into the void.
This is not your fault.
In this Strut It episode, I kick off a four part series on Instagram Marketing Trends and Predictions for 2026. I break down what is actually happening on the platform using real data from two massive studies that analyzed more than 44 million posts and nearly 2 million accounts.
You will learn why reach is down, why competition is up, and why this shift is secretly the best opportunity small businesses have had in years.
What You’ll Learn
00:00 – Why Instagram feels harder right now
03:02 – What two major studies reveal about reach, Reels, and competition
08:10 – Why more content means less average reach
09:27 – How the algorithm has shifted toward recommendations and DMs
12:21 – Why small accounts are growing faster than big ones
16:06 – What resonance over reach really means for your business
17:01 – Why views and income are not the same thing
15:09 – How I grew my business by 300 percent with lower average views
20:11 – Why niche content now beats broad content
20:41 – How shareable content wins in 2026
24:00 – Why community matters more than ever
24:56 – Why Reels still matter and how to think about them differently
25:51 – The three strategic takeaways you need to focus on this year

Marketing in 2026 looks nothing like it did even a few years ago. The traditional funnel assumes people move in a straight line from awareness to purchase. That assumption no longer holds.
In this Strut It episode, I sit down with internationally known marketing consultant, speaker, and educator Becca Pountney. Becca works primarily in the wedding industry, but her strategies apply to every business and every niche.
We unpack why attention is harder to earn, why trust is harder to build, and why customers now take multiple paths before buying. Becca introduces her Marketing Theme Park concept and walks through her S.C.R.E.A.M. framework, a practical way to rethink visibility, pricing, experience, and conversion in today’s landscape.
What You’ll Learn
[00:00] Why the traditional marketing funnel is outdated
[01:32] How the marketing theme park reflects modern buying behavior
[02:28] What it actually means to stand out in a crowded market
[04:44] Why transparent pricing builds trust faster
[07:05] How word-of-mouth still cuts through digital noise
[08:59] Why experience now drives conversions
[09:29] How to capture attention in a short attention economy
[21:46] Why customers need multiple ways to buy from you
Key Takeaways
- Visibility alone no longer converts
- Differentiation matters more than perfection
- Clear pricing builds confidence
- Small experience upgrades create big impact
- Attention is earned in seconds
- Simplicity increases sales
- Customers choose their own buying path

As 2025 comes to a close, I pause to reflect on what this year truly taught me about business, visibility, and growth. Instead of another strategy-heavy episode, I share five unexpected lessons that reshaped how I think about success, consistency, and confidence as a business owner and leader.
These lessons did not come from viral moments or overnight wins. They came from staying in the game, planting seeds, and learning how trust, safety, and clarity compound over time. My hope is that this episode helps you feel steadier, more grounded, and clearer about what deserves your energy moving into 2026 and beyond.
This episode is an invitation to put the yardstick behind you and recognize how far you have already come.
What You’ll Learn
[00:00] Why this episode is a reflection, not a strategy lesson
[02:32] Putting the yardstick behind you and measuring real growth
[04:55] Lesson one: Why trust outperformed virality in my business
[09:14] How Instagram stories became my strongest conversion tool
[11:36] Lesson two: The work I resisted most expanded my future
[15:42] How the podcast created growth I could not predict
[17:31] Lesson three: Why safety matters more than hustle
[21:49] Lesson four: How visibility grows when you stop performing
[26:02] Lesson five: Why consistency is about staying the course
[29:18] Final encouragement for anyone feeling behind or tired
Key Takeaways
- Trust builds businesses faster than chasing attention.
- Long-term consistency creates compounding visibility.
- Resistance often signals meaningful growth ahead.
- Safety supports sustainable success better than hustle.
- Authenticity outperforms perfection in visibility.
- Growth happens beneath the surface before it becomes visible.

Most people lose their ideal audience in the first two seconds of a video. That tiny moment determines whether someone keeps scrolling or thinks this message is for me. If your content feels ignored or flat, the issue usually starts with your hook.

[00:00] Why the first two seconds decide whether your content works
[00:29] The reason hooks fall flat and how to fix them
[01:32] Why hook creation is a learnable skill

[22:17] Why implementation drives results more than information

What if one year from now you could double your prices, expand your brand, grow your Instagram from under 2,000 followers to more than 22,000, and add more than $100,000 in revenue to your business.
That is exactly what happened for my client, Dani Alvarez.
When Dani and I first met, she was a homeschooling mom of three running a small farm in Northern Colorado and posting the occasional photo on Instagram. She did not know how to post a reel. She felt stuck and overwhelmed. She wondered if Instagram was even worth her time.
Fast forward twelve months, her videos have hit millions of views. Her business has transformed from the inside out. Her brand is clear, elevated, and profitable. And she has added an entirely new revenue stream because of her visibility on Instagram.

[00:26] Why she almost quit Instagram
[00:56] How we doubled her prices

[07:05] When she saw she needed a real strategy

In this episode, I go deeper into the visibility work we started last week. I explore two blocks that show up for every entrepreneur I know: imposter syndrome and perfectionism. These patterns often present as hesitation, overthinking, procrastination, or feeling like you need everything perfect before you show up online. I share how they show up in life and business, how they have shown up in my own journey, and how you can move forward with confidence even when doubts and fears are present. I also talk about the power of DM automation and how it keeps your business running even when you step away from your phone.
What You'll Learn
[00:00] Why visibility work matters and why hesitation usually comes from deeper blocks
[00:28] Introduction to imposter syndrome and perfectionism
[00:59] My mission to help entrepreneurs get visible and monetize on Instagram
[02:07] How DM automation allows your content to drive leads while you are offline
[03:03] How keywords in comments or DMs trigger links and next steps automatically
[08:43] How imposter syndrome signals growth rather than weakness
[10:12] The emotional journey leading up to speaking at Wedding MBA
[14:04] How perfectionism shows up through planning, delaying, and waiting
[15:00] How writing my book has challenged my own perfectionism
[20:30] Why sustainability matters more than hustling in every direction
Key Takeaways
- Imposter syndrome and perfectionism are not signs that you lack readiness. They are signals that you are growing.
- You do not need to eliminate doubt. You need to learn how to move forward with it.
- Confidence comes from taking action, not waiting for perfection.
- Visibility and results come from consistency, not flawless execution.
- DM automation helps your business continue to sell and serve while you rest or focus elsewhere.

If people do not know you exist, they will not buy from you. It sounds simple, but visibility requires more than hitting publish on a post. It requires you to show up as your real self. It requires you to let your audience connect with your humanity. That means being honest. It means being a little messy in public. And that is where the fear kicks in.
In this week’s episode, I share the first two visibility blocks that keep entrepreneurs stuck, silent, or overthinking every word they publish. I walk you through fear of judgment and self doubt. I share stories from my own journey, from speaking on the biggest stage of my life to blocking real life people on Instagram so I could create freely again. You will learn how to find evidence that you do know what you are doing and how to support your nervous system as you grow.
This is part one of a two part series. Today we explore fear of judgment and self doubt. Next week we explore imposter syndrome and perfectionism.
What You’ll Learn
[00:00] Why you must be seen to be paid and why visibility requires honest humanity
[00:29] Why sharing your struggles matters for connection and sales
[00:58] How appropriate vulnerability builds trust with your audience
[01:15] Why visibility feels scary and how to navigate those emotions
[01:52] My prep for speaking at the Wedding MBA and how perfectionism shows up
[02:46] Why caring deeply often looks like anxiety and high standards
[04:07] How visibility triggers self reflection and inner growth
[05:30] The first two visibility blocks you must understand
[10:17] Understanding the self doubt block and where it comes from
[16:53] What my clients seek in Hot Reels and why it works
[17:50] How Instagram reflects your inner world and leadership
[18:20] Why confronting your inner blocks creates long term success
[18:46] How Hot Reels helps you build visibility, messaging, and funnels
[19:11] Why you need an intentional content system that sells for you

[30:23] How to protect your culture and surround yourself with the right people

This week, I challenge you to reflect on how you’re showing up as a leader in your business. Ask yourself: Am I leading with heart? Am I communicating clearly? Am I making small, consistent improvements every day?

If your content isn’t converting, it’s not your strategy, it’s your messaging.
In this Strut It episode, I’m breaking down one of the biggest shifts we’re seeing on Instagram right now: moving from generic to personal and specific content. The truth is, broad, how-to posts like “5 Ways to Grow Your Instagram” no longer perform. What’s working now are personalized, story-driven posts that speak directly to your ideal clients.
What You’ll Learn

[03:56] Why specific, story-driven hooks outperform generic how-tos

[09:34] What Adam Mosseri says about shareable content and DMs
[11:53] How to write posts that get shared—and why people share them
[13:44] Coaching example: rewriting a burnout coach’s hook for clarity and impact
[15:40] How to transform a generic idea into a personal, scroll-stopping hook
[18:59] The difference between “I/me” hooks and “you” hooks (and how to use both)
[20:53] A simple storytelling prompt to create relatable, magnetic content
[22:20] How to get feedback and mentorship inside my Hot Reels content lab
This Week’s Challenge
Create one piece of content that feels personal and specific. It could be a Reel, carousel, or post that shares a true story or insight from your journey. Use the prompt: “What I wish I knew before…” and fill in the blank with a meaningful moment or decision from your business or life.
Then tag me @elizabethmarberry on Instagram—I’d love to see it and cheer you on.

If your content isn’t converting, it’s probably not because you need a new strategy, it’s because your messaging isn’t connecting.
In this episode of Strut It, I’m joined by marketing expert and wedding business strategist Heidi Thompson, the founder of Evolve Your Wedding Business and author of Clone Your Best Clients. Heidi breaks down exactly how to uncover what your audience really wants, thinks, and feels so you can write content that actually converts.
Whether you’re a wedding professional, creative, or service provider, you’ll walk away with practical tools to strengthen your message, attract the right people, and boost your ROI without reinventing your entire marketing strategy.
What You’ll Learn
[02:17] Why truly knowing your audience is the foundation of every great marketing strategy
[03:45] The psychology behind effective marketing and what most business owners get wrong
[05:35] The biggest mistake creators make when identifying their ideal client
[08:27] Why old-school demographic worksheets don’t actually help you sell more
[10:51] The “Clone Your Best Clients” method and how to identify your dream customers
[14:36] The most effective way to get real audience insights (and it’s not guessing)
[17:27] How to ask for and conduct client interviews that reveal the gold in your messaging
[20:19] The key questions that uncover what truly drives people to buy
[27:17] Why refining your messaging by just 5% can completely change your results
[31:58] How to apply what you learn across your website, Instagram bio, and all content
This Week’s Challenge
I want you to identify one or two of your favorite clients. The people you wish you could clone, and reach out to them. Ask if you can hop on a short call to learn what really motivated them to work with you. Use their exact words in your next piece of content or Instagram post. You’ll be amazed at how it changes your results. Then DM me @elizabethmarberry and tell me what you discovered.

If you’ve ever spent hours creating a reel you thought would crush it, only for it to flop, this episode is for you.
I’m pulling back the curtain on one of my favorite Instagram growth hacks: trial reels. This is the exact method I use (and teach my clients) to A/B test hooks and uncover what kind of messaging actually stops the scroll, grabs attention, and converts.
I’ll also share how one of my clients tested three versions of the same reel and tripled her views just by tweaking the first line. You’ll walk away knowing exactly how to implement this in your own business this week.

People buy people, not products. That’s why your story isn’t just a “nice to have”; it’s the heartbeat of your visibility strategy.
Today you’ll learn the art and strategy of storytelling, how to share your truth in a way that connects, inspires, and builds trust on Instagram. I even take you behind the scenes of my own story—my life as an actual showgirl (yes, with feathers and rhinestones!) — and what it taught me about visibility, perfectionism, and finding confidence in authenticity.
If you’ve ever wondered how to share stories that truly connect with your audience, not just sell to them, this episode is your guide.
What You’ll Learn
[01:21] Why your story, not your content calendar, makes your brand magnetic
[03:13] My past life as a professional showgirl and how it shaped my visibility journey
[05:06] The hidden struggles behind “living the dream” and how perfectionism shows up in business
[07:28] Why storytelling is the heartbeat of an effective Instagram strategy
[08:54] The real currency of social media (and it’s not likes or followers)
[10:22] My simple three-part storytelling framework: setup, shift, and takeaway
[12:46] How to turn your vulnerability into connection without oversharing
[14:39] How to use AI and the CRIT Framework to craft emotional, relatable stories
[16:05] This week’s Emotional Storytelling Challenge—share one story that connects
[17:33] How to tag me in your storytelling post so I can cheer you on
This Week’s Challenge
I’m calling this the Emotional Storytelling Challenge.
Create one piece of content. A Reel, carousel, or post, where your only goal is connection. Don’t try to sell or promote. Just share a real piece of who you are or why you do this work. Then tag me @elizabethmarberry. I’d love to see it and cheer you on.

You’ve got followers, you’re posting consistently, and people are engaging with your content. But here’s the million-dollar question: are those followers actually becoming paying clients?
I’m teaching you how to build an Instagram sales funnel that turns engagement into revenue. You’ll learn how to design a clear customer journey, use lead magnets to grow your email list, and set up automations that nurture your audience while you sleep.
Plus, I’m sharing my exact CRIT framework prompt that lets AI map out your funnel, from follower to paying client, so you never have to wonder what your next step should be.

If you’ve ever wanted to show up on Instagram but found yourself paralyzed by “what should I post today?”, you are not alone. Even seasoned creators get stuck in overthinking, comparison, or falling out of rhythm.
You’ll learn how to differentiate between internal intentions (like practicing being on camera, finding your voice, or building the habit of consistency) and external intentions (like growing your waitlist, deepening connections, or driving sales). Once you know what you want your content to do for you, posting becomes easier, measurable, and way less stressful.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
- [04:48] The most common struggle creators face: “I don’t know what to post.”
- [05:46] Why falling out of rhythm makes posting 10x harder (and how to reset)
- [06:44] The trap of overconsumption and comparison that kills creativity
- [07:44] The big truth: clarity doesn’t come before action—it comes from doing
- [08:42] Why unclear intentions keep you spinning in circles
- [09:57] The difference between internal intentions vs. external intentions
- [13:18] Real examples of external goals (like building a waitlist or growing your email list)
- [15:32] A Hot Reels client story: why knowing your goal is everything
- [16:31] How to ask “what is my intention here?” before creating content
- [16:58] Why practicing, even if messy, is still success
Key Takeaways
- Clarity doesn’t come before action—clarity comes from doing.
- Without clear intentions, you can’t measure success. Likes and views alone don’t tell the whole story.
- Internal intentions (practice, building consistency, finding your voice) are just as valid as external intentions (sales, sign-ups, growth).
- Falling out of rhythm makes it harder to get started again—commit to showing up consistently.

If you’re posting Reels without seeing growth, you’re not alone. Reels are still the #1 driver of reach on Instagram, but most business owners are missing a few key steps that make the difference between content that falls flat and content that attracts clients.
I’m walking you through the three non-negotiable steps to creating Instagram Reels that grow your business. You’ll also hear how the newest Instagram updates—Trial Reels, reposts, and deeper analytics—impact your strategy in 2025.
If you want to stop wasting time on content that doesn’t convert and start creating scroll-stopping Reels that bring the right people into your world, this episode is for you.
What You’ll Learn:
[02:12] Why Reels are still the #1 driver of visibility in 2025
[04:01] Step 1: Clarity and focus—why niching down is the foundation of growth
[06:45] Step 2: The 3 E’s of high-value content (educate, entertain, engage)
[10:20] Step 3: The mindset shift that makes Reels easier and more effective
[13:32] How Trial Reels work—and how not to get penalized by the limits
[15:08] New analytics that show exactly when people drop off and engage
[16:40] Why reposts are on the rise and how to leverage them for visibility
[19:27] Behind the scenes of Hot Reels—how members are applying this system
Key Takeaways:
- Clarity wins on Instagram. If your niche and message aren’t clear, your content won’t connect.
- The three E’s (educate, entertain, engage) make your Reels binge-worthy and shareable.
- Reels are still the most powerful visibility tool on IG, but they only work when tied to your business goals.
- Trial Reels, reposts, and analytics give you more tools than ever—if you use them strategically.
- Growth doesn’t come from being “viral” or funny—it comes from content that connects with your dream clients.

If you're tired of creating content that goes unseen, this one’s for you. With Instagram posts now showing up on Google (yes, that’s a thing), it’s never been more important to use the right keywords. But what does that actually mean? In this quick-hit solo episode, I’ll walk you through a simple, actionable strategy for discovering what your ideal clients are already searching for, and how to use those exact words in your content.

If you want to grow on Instagram or TikTok, your content has to be shareable, and that starts with better storytelling. Today I’m sitting down with Britney Crossan, queen of scroll-stopping, story-first content. Britney grew her following by over 57,000 people in less than a year using the exact storytelling techniques we talk about in this episode.
We break down how to structure your short-form videos, what kinds of stories hook people immediately, how to move past perfectionism, and the #1 shift that makes content more likely to be saved and shared.
If you’ve ever felt stuck staring at the “Add Caption” screen or wondering why your video isn’t landing, this one’s for you.
What You’ll Learn:
[02:23] The surprising way Britney grew her account by over 57K followers in under a year
[05:08] Why storytelling is the missing link for most short-form content
[06:19] How to come up with story-driven content even if you think your life is boring
[08:31] Britney’s 3-part storytelling formula that hooks people instantly
[10:44] A common myth that’s keeping you from sharing personal stories
[12:06] The mindset shift that changed how Britney showed up online
[14:18] Why your content needs to connect emotionally, not just educate
[17:05] Tips for creating consistently, even when you feel like you’ve “run out” of stories
[20:20] The difference between a personal brand and just “being online a lot”
[23:34] What Britney does when a post flops
[25:57] Why storytelling builds trust faster than educational posts alone
[29:14] How to batch storytelling content so it doesn’t take over your life
Key Takeaways:
- Your content isn’t boring, your storytelling just needs structure.
Use Britney’s 3-part framework to shape your stories: start with the moment of tension, reflect back, and end with a human truth or learning. - You don’t need a dramatic story to be memorable.
The “small” stuff like feeling awkward on a Zoom call or forgetting to hit record can connect deeply when shared authentically. - Storytelling content builds emotional connection faster than educational content.
People might forget your tips, but they’ll remember your stories. - The most shareable content is usually the most specific.
Don’t water down your stories, lean in. The more detailed and emotionally resonant, the more people will share. - Batching storytelling content is possible (and freeing).
Use prompts, keep a story bank, and repurpose stories across platforms with slight tweaks.

Today I’m calling out the single biggest mistake that’s keeping your Instagram stuck: treating your account like a glossy portfolio instead of starting real conversations. I know this mistake well because I made it, too.
Once I shifted my content to speak in the language of my dream client, everything changed, my reels popped off, my audience grew fast, and my content finally converted into leads and sales.

[07:08] How to flip your mindset: speak in their language, not yours
[08:03] Real example of a viral reel built around your ideal client’s emotional reality
[09:59] Why good content is always rooted in empathy (and how to do it)

[13:22] How real Hot Reels students used this shift to explode their following & revenue
[14:12] How to join the Hot Reels waitlist (and why you want to get in early)
Key Takeaways:

This month, Instagram dropped a game-changing update: your content can now appear directly in Google search results. What does that mean for your small business?
- More visibility
- A longer shelf life for your posts
- And a brand-new, organic traffic channel that doesn’t rely on the algorithm alone.
I’m walking you through why this matters, how to take advantage of it right now, and five practical steps to fully optimize your Instagram for search, including how to find your best keywords, where to put them, and why speaking your dream client’s language is critical.
Plus, you’ll learn why this shift is about so much more than hashtags… and how it can help you finally build visibility that compounds over time (not just for 24 hours).
What You’ll Learn:
[02:41] Why your content can finally show up in Google (and why it matters)
[05:04] The simple setting you must toggle on to get indexed
[08:52] Three big reasons this is a massive win for small businesses
[14:11] What keywords actually are and how to find yours
[20:21] How Instagram’s algorithm now reads captions, voiceovers, and text on screen
[23:55] Real-world example: turning vague “elevated modern bride” messaging into SEO gold
[25:53] Five key places to put your keywords (and what not to do)
[29:34] Why this makes Instagram more like Pinterest, YouTube, and blogs (and why that’s awesome)
[30:00] How I support clients in implementing this inside Hot Reels, my 12-month content lab
Key Takeaways:
- Instagram isn’t just an app anymore. Your content can now show up in Google, reaching people who aren’t even on Instagram.
- Keywords = the phrases your dream clients actually type into Google (think “Hollywood waves Denver” vs. “elevated modern bride”).
- Use your keywords strategically in your name field, captions, hashtags, text on reels, and even alt text.
- Instagram’s algorithm has evolved: it now “reads” captions, on-screen text, and even your voiceovers to decide who sees your posts.
- People who find you via Google search have higher intent, they’re actively looking for the solution you offer.
- This isn’t just about visibility. It’s about turning traffic into sales. Your sales funnel, DM automations, and optimized bio all matter.

If you’re still telling people to “click the link in bio,” it’s time to upgrade your Instagram strategy. I’m joined by Heston Roberts, a true wizard when it comes to building DM automations that actually move people from your Instagram content into your email list (and eventually, into paying clients).
We go beyond the basics: how DM automation reduces friction, why it can outperform link-in-bio by 60% or more, how to keep things personal and scalable, and what common mistakes to avoid. Plus, Heston shares how to build direct DM-to-email funnels, so your followers never have to leave Instagram.
What You’ll Learn:
[03:22] Why DM automation is a game changer for content that works while you sleep
[08:34] The problem with “click the link in bio” (and why it lowers conversions)
[13:41] How DM automations help grow your following through better engagement
[16:57] Step-by-step: turning DMs into an email funnel without leaving Instagram
[21:40] The truth about small accounts: why it still works with low engagement
[26:17] Mistakes to avoid: over-general keywords, automations that feel spammy, and more
[31:06] Using deep links to drive traffic directly into apps like YouTube
[39:45] How to keep it personal (and still scalable) with voice notes and custom automations
[45:58] Heston’s subscription for creators who want to master ManyChat and chat funnels
Key Takeaways:
- DM automation reduces friction: instead of making followers stop scrolling, visit your profile, and figure out your links, it meets them right where they already are—your DMs.
- You can build email funnels inside Instagram: ask followers for their name & email in the DMs, sync to your email platform, and send them your freebie without them leaving the app.
- ManyChat (our favorite tool) is a Meta business partner, which means it’s approved and safe to use directly with Instagram.
- Even small accounts can see ROI: you don’t need thousands of comments—sometimes one new subscriber or client makes the whole system worth it.
- Use specific keywords like “getpod” or “hotguide” to trigger automations and avoid accidental triggers. And yes, keep it fun, like clickable buttons!

Still relying on “click the link in my bio”? There’s a better way. I’m breaking down how to use DM automation to grow your email list, increase engagement, and drive leads from your Instagram content, all without being glued to your phone. You’ll learn why this strategy works better than traditional link-in-bio methods, how I use it in both of my businesses, and exactly how to get started (even if you’ve never heard of ManyChat before).
What You’ll Learn:
[04:48] Why “link in bio” is dead (and how DM automation works better)
[07:36] The step-by-step breakdown of what actually happens when someone clicks your bio
[10:27] Why Instagram prefers links in DMs vs. external traffic
[13:13] How keywords boost engagement and reach (and why your caption matters)

[19:17] The power of sending links, freebies, and lead magnets in the DMs
[21:40] What to do if you’re not getting comments — and how Hot Reels can help
[23:32] Why now is the best time to get on the Hot Reels waitlist for fall 2025
Key Takeaways:
- Click the link in bio? Nope. It adds friction and kills your conversion rate. DM automation converts 46% better on average.
- Your content can work for you while you sleep. DM automation makes your Instagram content do double-duty, building your list and growing your audience without extra effort.
- You don’t need a huge audience for this to work. Even one comment can bring in one perfect-fit lead. It’s not about volume, it’s about alignment.
- Your followers are on Instagram. Keep them there. The more you can reduce steps, the more people will take action. DM automation keeps them in-platform and gets you results.
- Still not seeing results from your content? It might be time for support. Hot Reels is where I help entrepreneurs create content that actually converts, consistently.

Reels are still your best friend in 2025 when it comes to reach, impressions, and visibility on Instagram, and I’ve got the stats to prove it. In this final episode of our 3-part growth hacks series, I’m walking you through exactly how to make Reels work for you and your brand, even if you feel awkward on camera.
I’m sharing how to reverse engineer Reels to plug directly into your sales funnel, the one thing Reels do better than any other format, and why short-form storytelling isn’t just about “going viral” — it’s about helping your dream clients feel seen.
If you’ve been resisting video, this is your permission slip to show up imperfectly, get strategic, and let Reels do the heavy lifting in your marketing.
What You’ll Learn:
[01:51] Why Reels still dominate reach and engagement in 2025
[04:41] The remix strategy that’s outperforming other formats
[06:05] How storytelling makes your content more human and more effective
[09:58] Why raw, imperfect content builds more trust than polished videos
[12:48] How to reverse-engineer Reels to plug into your sales funnel
[18:31] The DM automation tool that builds your email list while you sleep
[19:57] A sneak peek at next week’s episode with a DM automation expert
[22:49] How to use Reels to connect, serve, and sell without burnout
Key Takeaways:
- Reels still give the highest reach on Instagram. With 2x the impressions of static posts and 30.8% average reach, Reels are your fastest path to visibility — if you know how to use them.
- Remixes are an underrated engagement strategy. Reels with collaborators see 41% more engagement, and remixing trending content with your own spin can massively expand your reach.
- Short-form storytelling = brand trust. You don’t have to be funny or go viral. You just have to be real. Stories help your audience feel seen, understood, and connected to your brand.
- You don’t need a video team. You just need to start. Raw, low-lift Reels filmed on your iPhone are performing better than polished content. The goal is to connect, not impress.
- DM automation is the visibility upgrade you didn’t know you needed. Want to grow your list and deliver free offers without lifting a finger? This episode gives you a sneak peek of the automation tool I use every week.

If your Instagram growth has stalled or you’re creating content that no one’s seeing, this episode is for you. In part two of our three-part growth series, I’m breaking down five underused Instagram strategies that are working right now in 2025 — including the truth about collabs, remix reels, outbound engagement, and how to use your platforms to boost IG followers (without sounding desperate).
What You’ll Learn:
- [01:52] Why collaboration is still one of the fastest ways to grow your audience
- [05:17] How to use Instagram’s collab feature properly (and what Meta recommends)
- [09:34] How remixing reels got my studio account 14 M+ views
- [12:41] Going live with aligned creators to build relationships and visibility
- [15:26] Why outbound engagement still works (when you do it right)
- [18:09] The “invisible ask” most people forget — and how to do it with heart
- [21:20] How to boldly ask for visibility without sounding cringy
- [22:49] Behind the scenes of my Hot Reels program and private mentorship offers
Key Takeaways:
- Instagram collabs aren’t just cute, they’re conversion tools. Learn how to use Instagram’s collab feature strategically and why the account with the bigger following should host.
- Remix reels are still one of the most powerful visibility hacks. Use them to ride existing engagement, but add your own spin.
- Instagram Lives still work — especially when done with aligned brands. Local businesses? This is a missed opportunity you need to explore.
- Outbound engagement is free visibility. Leaving thoughtful comments in your niche can attract ideal followers (and create real relationships).
- You’re probably forgetting the easiest CTA: ask for the follow. Your email list, Facebook audience, and other platforms can be powerful amplifiers, if you remember to ask.

Welcome to Part One of my three-part mini-series on Instagram growth hacks that work right now in 2025. Instagram has changed a lot since I first recorded this episode last August, from new features like trial reels to essential updates in strategy and messaging.
We’re kicking things off with a back-to-basics reminder of what’s still working, plus new insights to help you grow faster and more strategically. If you’ve been frustrated with slow growth or content that’s not converting, this one’s for you.
What You’ll Learn
[01:11] The 3 timeless pillars of Instagram growth that still matter most
[03:59] Why narrowing your focus makes your content stronger and more effective
[07:11] Why you are the it factor behind your brand (not the algorithm)
[08:29] How to do market research that actually improves your messaging
[12:40] What trial reels are and why they’re a must-use growth tool in 2025
[14:32] The surprising mindset shift trial reels unlock for overthinking creators
[15:57] A real-life example of A/B testing a hook and what it revealed
[17:22] The truth about redundancy in your content (hint: it’s a good thing)
Key Takeaways:
- Consistency is still queen. The more reps you put in, the better your content (and results) get.
- Niche down your content. Narrowing your focus doesn’t box you in, it makes content creation simpler and more strategic.
- Market research is non-negotiable. If you want engagement, you need to speak in your clients’ words, not your expert language.
- Trial reels = your new BFF. Use them to A/B test messaging and visuals before posting to your main feed.
- Redundancy isn’t a problem, it’s a strategy. Don’t be afraid to reuse hooks or test different stories with the same message.

Sure, Instagram strategy matters, but what about the energy behind the content? This week, we're hitting pause on the tutorials and getting real about the inner work and journey behind my biggest visibility win: Getting invited to speak on the Social Media Marketing Podcast hosted by Michael Stelzner.
This didn’t happen by chance. It happened because I became the version of myself who could handle it, and I’m teaching you the exact 3 steps I followed so you can start manifesting your bold business dreams, too.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
[00:00] Why strategy isn’t the only ingredient in long-term success
[02:58] What prompted this mindset-focused episode
[03:53] The "impossible" dream I whispered to myself two years ago
[06:15] The email that changed everything: getting invited by Social Media Examiner [08:07] Three steps that helped me manifest this dream
[10:05] Step 1: Claim the vision out loud (no more “maybe someday” energy)
[11:59] Step 2: Take action before you feel ready
[15:46] Step 3: 1% upgrades every day to become a ready person
[18:34] The quote that guided me: “Participate relentlessly in the manifestation of your blessings.”

Key Takeaways:
- The dreams that feel far away aren’t impossible, you just haven’t grown into them yet.
- You don’t need permission to take bold action. Pitch before you’re “ready.” Create before you have it all figured out.
- Micro moves matter. 1% upgrades every day will carry you further than you think.
- Consistency compounds. When you show up relentlessly, the right people will start to find you.
- The biggest opportunities don’t show up randomly, they show up when you’ve done the inner work to be able to hold them.

[04:06] How to “Seed” ChatGPT With Your Voice and Goals

[17:18] Real Client Example: From Rough Draft to Polished Lead Magnet
[20:05] Why ChatGPT is a Daily Tool in My Two-Business Workflow

- You can use ChatGPT for more than captions: launches, sales pages, research, strategy, and more.
- The better you train your AI, the better your results, just like with a team member.

What if your next high-ticket client was already watching you on Instagram?
I'm chatting with Paula Newlands, a business coach for personal stylists, about how she turned her content into real sales. Before working together, Paula had a vision for her program but needed help turning that vision into actual sales. She shares how she refined her content, nailed her messaging, and most importantly, closed a high-ticket client straight from her Instagram content.
We’re breaking down the exact strategy she used to build trust, nurture her audience, and confidently sell her offer, without chasing leads or cold DMing. This is a behind-the-scenes look at what it's really like to work with me inside my private mentorship.

[12:15] Why Investing in a Mentor is a Game-Changer – How guidance led to faster results
[15:50] Your Next Steps – How to apply this strategy to your own business
Key Takeaways:
- Your audience is watching. Keep showing up and making offers.
- Clear, confident messaging is the difference between content that converts and content that gets ignored.
- Your Instagram DMs are a goldmine—learn how to nurture relationships without feeling salesy.

Carousels have always been a valuable way to engage followers, but with Instagram’s latest update, they’re an even bigger opportunity to reach new audiences. Plus, this format gives you the chance to be more creative and tell a story in a single post, making it a powerful tool in your Instagram strategy.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- [01:29] New Instagram Update: Carousels can now appear in the Reels tab when you add music, meaning more opportunities to get discovered by new audiences. I’ll explain why this matters and how to make the most of it.
- [04:33] Why Carousels Work: Carousels give you multiple chances to engage your audience because they allow for multiple slides in a single post, which can be shown repeatedly in a user's feed if they don’t swipe through all slides the first time.
- [05:54] Pro Tips for Carousel Content: How to create attention-grabbing slides, including the importance of using a strong hook on the first slide and adding text within the Instagram app to keep your content relevant and engaging.
- [07:15] How to Use Instagram’s New Features: From adding trending audio to carousels for better reach to leveraging Instagram’s new in-app tools for creating carousels quickly.
Key Takeaways:
- Hook Them in 3 Seconds: Just like reels, the first slide of your carousel needs to grab attention fast!
- Leverage Trending Audio: Adding music to your carousel posts makes them more engaging and increases the chances of getting featured on the Reels tab, expanding your reach.
- Experiment with In-App Carousel Tools: Take advantage of Instagram's new in-app tools to create text-heavy carousels directly within the app.

Are you struggling to get sales from your Instagram content? It might be because you’re focusing too much on promotional content and not enough on attracting your ideal clients! I’m breaking down the key differences between promotional content and attraction content, and why finding the right balance is the secret sauce to growing your audience and landing your dream clients.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- [00:25] Understanding Promotional Content vs. Attraction Content:
Discover why too much promotional content can make your feed look like a spammy sales pitch and turn off potential clients.
- [04:15] What is Promotional Content?
Promotional content is when you're directly selling your products or services—think Canva slides showcasing your offers or reels listing your products. While this is important, it shouldn't be your main focus.
- [05:37] What is Attraction Content?
Attraction content is all about serving your audience by providing value. It’s designed to build trust and establish you as an authority in your niche. Think helpful tips, behind-the-scenes peeks, or solving small problems for your followers.
- [09:25] Why Attraction Content Works:
Learn how shifting your focus from "me, me, me" to "you, you, you" builds a relationship and trust with your audience. When people feel seen and supported, they’re more likely to engage with and share your content.
3 Steps to Shift from Promotional to Attraction Content:
- Give Before You Take:
- [10:50] Start with value-packed content that solves a problem or answers a question for your dream client.
- Tell Stories, Don’t Just Sell Products:
- [12:39] Share the "why" behind your offers. If you’re a jewelry maker, take your followers behind the scenes of your creative process. Create an emotional connection instead of just listing products for sale.
- Hook Them from the Start:
- [13:06] You only have a few seconds to capture attention. Focus on compelling hooks in your content that speak directly to your ideal client’s pain points or desires. The more specific you are, the better!

How Would It Feel to Have a Sales Funnel Bringing in Clients on Autopilot?
I’m pulling back the curtain on my exact multi-six-figure sales funnel that runs on autopilot. This system ensures that my content works for me 24/7, so I can step away from my business, knowing everything’s still in motion. Whether I’m on vacation, at yoga, or just stepping away from the hustle, this system has my back—and now, it’s time to set yours up too.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
[02:59] - The Power of Your Voice Inspired by my mom’s current struggle with speech, I’m asking you to step out of your comfort zone and speak up.
[04:20] - Multi-Six-Figure Funnels: I’ll show you how a well-structured funnel can make your content work for you, rather than stretching your energy across platforms.
[07:08] - Clients Come from Conversations: Your content should always invite dialogue. Posting on social media? It’s not a monologue. Engage your audience, and watch your conversations turn into clients.
[09:22] - My Sales Funnel Strategy: At the top of my funnel: Instagram and this podcast. They attract my ideal clients and set the stage for deeper connections. You don’t need to be everywhere. Pick the platform that feels most aligned with you!
[11:28] - The Magic of Lead Magnets: I’m sharing my lead magnets and how they’ve racked up thousands of downloads. From my free first dance checklist to my Monetize Your IG guide, these freebies work like a charm!
[14:52] - Nurture and Convert Through Email : Once they’re on your email list, it’s time to deepen the relationship. I’ll explain how my email welcome sequence builds trust and leads to sales. You need an email list—don’t let social media be your only game!
[16:52] - Turning Subscribers Into Clients: Now that they’re on your list, it’s time to make the offer! I’ll walk you through how I use masterclasses, private sessions, and group programs to bring clients deeper into my funnel.

Ready to explode your Instagram growth? I’m re-airing one of the most popular episodes from 2022 with the exact strategies that helped me gain 20K followers in just 30 days!
Whether you’re struggling with engagement or unsure how to stand out, these three powerful keys will transform your approach. The best part? These strategies are timeless and algorithm-proof!
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- [04:12] Key 1: Get Crystal Clear on Your Niche
Narrowing down your focus is everything. I share how focusing exclusively on dance content helped me establish myself as an expert and led to massive growth. I can’t stress enough how important it is to really hone your messaging. - [09:34] Key 2: Consistency as an Energy
It’s not just about how often you post; it’s about how you show up. I talk about the energy behind consistency—making sure your content feels aligned with you. Posting at least one reel a day worked for me, but finding what feels sustainable for you is key. - [15:45] Key 3: Show Up Authentically
Authenticity is what sets you apart in a crowded space. I dive into why it’s so important to show your humanness and share your story. This helps you connect with your audience on a deeper level, turning followers into loyal clients.

I’m diving deep into the mindsets and energetics that are absolutely critical for long-term business success on social media. Sure, strategies and hacks are helpful, but let’s face it—what really makes or breaks your business is your mindset. After 14 years in the game, I’m sharing key lessons I wish I had known when I started, and the mindset practices you’ll want to implement right now.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- [02:29] Mindset #1: Embrace Experimentation & Testing: Growing a business means being willing to experiment. Even after 14 years, I’m constantly testing things out.
- [06:19] Avoid Perfectionism: One of the biggest mindset shifts I had to make was letting go of perfectionism. I started to get curious about what was working instead of obsessing over getting it right. Pay attention to your analytics, like on Instagram, and use those insights to refine your approach.
- [09:33] Mindset #2: Create Your Own Metrics of Success: Success isn’t defined by likes and follows. I share how you can set your own metrics for success—metrics that you can actually control.
- [12:57] Mindset #3: Play the Long Game: Success doesn’t happen overnight, and that’s okay. I talk about why resilience is crucial and how important it is to stay committed to your goals, even when things don’t go your way.
- [15:35] Stay Consistent: Even When Growth Feels Slow: I get real about my own Instagram journey, where follower growth was painfully slow. But staying consistent was the key to hitting breakthrough moments that attracted my ideal clients.
- [17:53] Convert Your Current Audience: Instead of always chasing growth, I share why it’s essential to focus on converting the audience you already have by refining your messaging and giving them the nudge they need to take action.

This is part two of a four-part mini-series focused on Instagram Reels. If you’ve been feeling frustrated with the ever-changing Instagram updates, this episode will provide clarity and actionable tips to help you create more effective and engaging Reels.
In this episode, you’ll learn…
[00:28] Understanding the Instagram Algorithm:
- The Instagram algorithm functions like a super picky pizza party host, showing content (pizza) to users based on their past interactions and preferences.
- User interactions such as likes, comments, shares, views, and watch time determine the priority of your Reels in the algorithm.
- The algorithm aims to keep users engaged on the app by showing them more of the content they enjoy, thereby increasing Instagram’s revenue through ad consumption.
[06:46] Optimizing Your Reels:
- Be Specific: Create Reels that are tailored to a specific client avatar. The more niche your content, the better it will perform.
- Use Hashtags: While not as effective as before, hashtags still help in categorizing your Reels. Use very niche and specific hashtags.
- Hook and Call to Action: Use strong visual or text hooks to capture attention. Always include a clear call to action at the end of your video to guide viewers on what to do next.
[08:11] Lead Generation and Audience Growth:
- Reels are a powerful tool for reaching new audiences and generating leads for your business.
- Optimize your Reels to ensure they are shown to the right audience, thus increasing engagement and conversions.

What is Yin Leadership, why is it important and how do we embody it as CEO's and business leaders?
As the seasons change, the leaves start to fall and the days get longer and darker, it's a great time to turn inward and determine what's working for us and what's not (in business and life).
This thought provocting interview with Executive Coach, Michanda Lindsey invites you to soften your focus on the outer power and strength (yang), and tune into Yin Leadership -- a paradigm shift about who we are, what determines success, and how we live our lives. Instead of measuring, competing, and feeling like we are not enough, Yin Leadership is a path home to sustainable peace and harmony. By nourishing ourselves and embracing wellness as a lifestyle rather than a box to check, we tap into the unlimited reservoir of creativity and courage already within us. We also create a culture for those we lead to flourish and thrive inside out.
ABOUT MICHANDA LINDSEY:
Michanda Lindsey believes that each of us is already magnificent and that our true essence is whole, perfect and complete. As an Executive Coach she holds space for her clients to access the answers to our deepest questions. Under the umbrella of Presence and Transformation, Michanda brings her eclectic perspective as both a yogi and a priest. She also has created The Flow coaching certification program to help more coaches make space for ease, breath and harmony
in guiding people to live inside out and honor their heart and soul. It is Michanda’s passion to help people face their fears, disillusionment and pain so they connect to their own reservoir of peace, power, light and love.

Dr. Nicole E. Williams is a native of East St. Louis and board certified Obstetrician and Gynecologist. With the philosophy of marrying both alternative and traditional medicine, Dr. Williams opened The Gynecology Institute of Chicago in July 2013. Since that time, she has expanded the GIC to 3 locations and has cared for thousands of patients (and their vaginas). Dr. Williams has a degree in English Literature and Biochemistry from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and an MD from Loyola University Chicago.
She is a tireless advocate for women's health issues, especially maternal issues, and has successfully lobbied Congress on behalf of her patients, having her formal remarks on maternal health entered into the public record. Dr. Williams also travels the world extensively, educating and operating on those who need it most in the most far flung places. She has worked in Haiti, Rwanda, Ghana, the Philippines, and Cambodia, to name a few. In her new book, "This is How You Vagina", Dr. Williams seeks to dispel all the myths she still hears from patients every day about their vaginas, and to empower them with vagina knowledge. She lives in Chicago, IL.

On Novemeber 20th, 2000 my beloved Father took his own life. I was 20 years old.
In this episode I read a post I wrote last year on the 20th anniversary of his death about my experience with grief and the choice I had to make to move forward.
I believe that when we share our stories (no matter how dark and hard they are) we free ourselves and others.
My father's suicide isn't a shameful secret I keep. It's one of the many crucial events in my life that helped to shape me into the woman I am today.
We need to talk about suicide (and sucidal thoughts) so WE CAN SAVE LIVES.
Our shadows can't find the light if we keep them locked inside our heads and hearts.
Find support in friends and experts you trust and let the darkness pour out of you so you don't get lost in it.
The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is available 24 hours. Call 1-800-273-8255.
The Lifeline provides 24/7, free and confidential support for people in distress, prevention and crisis resources for you or your loved ones, and best practices for professionals.

I am pumped to announce that we are launching another round of our 21 Day Movement and Mindset Immersion in November 2021.
This is for you if you are looking to create a consistent sacred movement practice you can do every single day that will boost your mental, emotional, physical and spiritual health.

Let’s face it. Whether you are a parent or not, you have probably had these thoughts:
“No matter what I do, it’s never enough”
“Maybe I shouldn’t have been a parent? I feel so unequipped.”
“I’m not a good enough parent.”
“This is hard for me but easier for others. There must be something wrong with me.”
If you can relate to any of the above statements, know that you are NOT ALONE. We all have experienced these thoughts and feelings before.
You are not broken, you are simply human.
In today’s new Confident Feminine Body Podcast episode I chat with Cher Kretz. She’s a mother, business owner, podcaster and school counselor who has developed the Focused Mindset.
We cover:
- Why you’re stuck in feeling never good enough and HOW to shift it
- What the focused mindset is and how to start implementing it in your life & parenting
- A MINDSET SHIFT that will support you when you are feeling like a “not good enough parent”
- How Cher went from NO fitness routine (and thinking she was horrible at working out) to a consistent movement practice that she LOVES
- How feeling good in your body impacts your mind
- Why how you THINK about your fitness routine is the reason why you’re struggling with consistency
- Key mindset shifts to lock in a fitness routine you love
AND MORE!

We are coming out of the spiritual closet today with Spiritual Life Coach Jennifer Lonnberg!I believe we all have a 6th sense and a divine gift of intuition. The problem becomes when we stuff it down, don’t listen and don’t trust ourselves.

Sit with these questions (they are game changers!).
In today’s episode you will learn:
- 3 Magic Keys to tapping into (and embracing) your Spiritual Gifts
- How to build your intuitive muscle

Meet Natasha -- a mother, business owner, podcaster (Waiting For Margo) living in Paris, France! She is passionate about breaking the taboos of having (and not having) babies.
In today's interview she shared her mother's journey with cancer, how she discovered she was a BRCA1 mutation carrier and her plan for a double mastectomy to reduce her high risk of getting breast cancer.
She also openly shared her heartbreaking story of pregnancy loss (she's had 3 miscarriages) and the diagnosis that finally gave her some answers.
We discussed why it's so critical to be your own health advocate and ask for what you need & want with no apology when it comes to your body!
We also both shared a bit about our birth story -- which was so special. :)
What I love about Natasha is not only her authenticity and vulnerability -- but also her attitude and mindset despite experiencing great hardship.
This was a heartfelt, moving and vulnerable conversation!
May we continue to normalize conversations about pregnancy loss and ALL that women’s bodies move through on their fertility journey.

My conversation with Graeme Seabrook hit close to home. I am a mother of two kiddos (5 & 8 years old) who puts a lot of pressure on myself to be the “ideal mom” and who often gets overwhelmed by the demands of working full time, parenting and just being a human on this earth. Who else can relate?
Here’s a peek inside our conversation:
- How the “Motherload'' is much more than just the "mental load" of motherhood that is beginning to be talked about now or the "invisible labor" of motherhood.
- The power of micro-revolutions in our lives (how small changes can ripple out to affect systems).
- Why the way we're approaching motherhood now takes us out of our bodies and away from ourselves - it's dehumanizing.
- How to handle the voice of your INNER CRITIC as a mother
Graeme Seabrook is a writer, maternal mental health advocate, and community leader who helps moms learn to embrace their own humanity. As a certified life coach and founder of The Mom Center, an online community exclusively for moms, she’s coached over 3,000 moms on how to place their names at the top of their priority list, without guilt or shame.
Graeme's 10-week course, Motherload Liberation, is now OPEN for Enrollment Till August 5th! You save 10% OFF with code CFBPODMotherload Liberation will help you let go and shift the weight of family life off of your shoulders to where it should be—shared by both of you.

Get ready to BE INSPIRED as you hear Jenny’s story about how she was able to overcome obstacles and turn struggles into success stories!
In today's episode Jenny Siegle shares how she was paralyzed at nine months of age from Transverse Myelitis. She is an incomplete C4/C5 quadriplegic and uses an electric wheelchair for her daily mobility.
She takes us on her journey of how she took every opportunity given to her (along with her exceptional upbringing, attitude & mindset) and built a successful career as a sports producer, writer, public speaker and disability advocate.
My hope is that your heart & soul will be deeply served by her story and unique life perspective. She’s truly a POWERHOUSE and her story inspires me to live with more courage and confidence.

Meet Jenni, successful lawer, busy mama of 2 and recent grad our Confident Feminine Body Program - “After struggling forever even to like exercise (let alone do it consistently), I went from NO fitness routine to locking in a joy-filled 30-minute movement practice 7 days a week, even though I work long hours as an equity partner in my law firm and have 2 young kids.” Jenni T.
THIS is a real result from one of my 12-week Confident Feminine Body graduates. How freakin’ inspiring is Jenni?!
And who relates to the STRUGGLE of having a consistent (and pleasurable) movement routine? It's easy for exercise to fall into the “should” category and often lands at the end of our overfilled list.
Empowering my clients to heal their relationship with their body and finally lock-in a joy-filled movement practice is just ONE life-changing step in my 12-week Confident Feminine Body Program (CFBP) methodology.
And in case you were worried, I won’t make you throw on your leotard and dust of your sexy Shake Weights as you jazzercise around your living room (although that actually sounds super fun), rather we go inside to assess YOUR ENERGY, your mindset and your blocks -- so we can identify where you are lodged in programming that is no longer serving you.
And by doing so you can not only heal from past wounds (which instantaneously feels like a shot of FREEDOM) but you start to cultivate healthy behaviors & mindsets that are sustainable, pleasurable and activating to ALL the beautiful layers of you (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual bodies). Just like my graduate Jenni did!
When you step into the inner circle that is the CFBP, not only do you cross the threshold of next level accountability, support and expertise but you really have the opportunity to rewire (and refresh) your connection to your body’s divine wisdom. It’s pretty magical over here.
I’m excited to share that I just opened up enrollment for my Confident Feminine Body Program and I only have 3 spots available this month.

Here’s to more heart-centered movement medicine in your future!

ORGANIZING YOUR WAY TO SELF-LOVE with Jenn DePauw
The clutter or organization of all the “stuff” around us impacts our energy and how we show up for our day. In today’s show I got to chat with organizational queen, Jenn DePauw, about how we can alleviate decision fatigue and gain clarity in our spaces & lives.
We dished on:
- What is the connection between organizing and self-love
- How to create a personal process to help with automating decisions (so you won't burnout)
- Why decision fatigue can derail us so quickly and keep us stuck in the trap of self-sacrifice and always be last on our list
- What your closet might be saying about your life (and what to do about it)
- The exact steps you can take when you are not sure where to begin your decluttering process
You can find out more about Jenn's work here: https://organizedpriorities.com/
If you were served (and motivated to clean out your closet) by this episode, we ask that you subscribe/rate and review our podcast! This will help us to reach the ears (and hearts) of women all over the world.

I thought I’d share Jenelle’s story this week about her triumph over her loud and relentless INNER CRITIC, and how that win has radiated into every corner of her life.
Before Jenelle came into the CFBP she had always had body confidence issues and problems with extreme self-criticism. Her default was always a negative inner voice, which continually knocked her down no matter how hard she tried to silence it.
“I always knew what “I should” be doing and struggled to stay consistent. I always envisioned myself one way (thin, beautiful, perfect), and didn’t feel like my actual self measured up to the (awesome) me that I had in my mind,” Janelle confessed early in our collaboration.
Jenelle had to confront her fears and make novel choices around food--namely to take away all the RESTRICTION and GUILT, and learn to listen to and trust her body’s messaging. She discovered something super important:
“I never realized that I give up easily because I’m afraid of failing. If I chose to quit, it was my choice-I was in control.”
She learned that she didn’t have to do a 1.5-hour workout at the gym every day to see progress or to be successful!
Instead, Jenelle took her most hated activity (cardio at the gym) off of the table and did only the activities at the gym that she enjoyed. And she kept going because the idea of training no longer filled her with dread and loathing.
She learned that setting boundaries in all relationships is a good thing. In her words, “setting a boundary protects the relationship because it keeps the connection healthy and keeps me out of resentment, self-criticism, or overwhelm.”
“I’m not as hard on myself as I used to be and even if I am, I catch it and reset my thinking quickly. The biggest change for me was feeling happier because I was being more productive and making better choices for my self-care.”
“I never prioritized self-care before because it always overwhelmed me. I would go hard and strive for perfection and burn myself out--which is NOT self-care. I’m still going to the gym and seeing progress by doing the movements I LOVE.”
