This Mum Loves Tech Episode 41: Why Your Instagram Strategy Needs a 2026 Refresh with Sarah Donoghue

In this episode, I’m chatting with Instagram marketing expert Sarah Donoghue about why so many business owners are feeling frustrated with Instagram right now and what actually needs to change as we head into 2026.

We talked about how Instagram has evolved over the years, why constant platform updates aren’t there to make your life harder, and how small business owners need to know the essential Instagram updates to keep growing their accounts without overwhelm. 

In this episode, we chatted about:

✅ Why Instagram looks so different to how it did a few years ago

✅ Why business owners need a different content strategy to creators

✅ How to stay visible without posting constantly

✅ What to rethink about your Instagram strategy for 2026 

Sarah will also be delivering a masterclass inside the This Mum Loves Tech Membership, where she’ll be breaking down her top Instagram updates for 2026 and showing how to adapt your content strategy in a way that feels realistic, sustainable and effective.

If you don’t want to figure out Instagram (or your tech) on your own in 2026, the membership is there to support you. Inside, you get weekly tech support from me, monthly masterclasses, guest experts and a growing library of practical training to help you move forward with confidence.
