Episode Summary:
If your Instagram posts feel like they’re disappearing into the void lately—you’re not imagining it. In this episode, I’m breaking down the just-revealed 2025 changes to Instagram’s algorithm and content strategy, based on a brand-new interview with Instagram Head Adam Mosseri on the Build Your Tribe podcast with Brock Johnson.

From why hashtags aren’t helping anymore, to why Reels still matter (but only if you do this), to how Lives have lost their edge—this is your updated playbook. I’ll also share the one thing Mosseri didn’t say out loud, but every creative business owner needs to hear.

Interior designers, content creators, and creative entrepreneurs—this episode will shift how you show up on Instagram moving forward.

What You’ll Learn:

• The truth about hashtags in 2025 (spoiler: they’re not helping your reach)
• Why Lives aren’t being prioritized—and what to do instead
• The new “content ecosystem” approach to Reels, Stories, Posts & Carousels
• The strategy shift Instagram wants from you—and how to deliver it
• How to use “Trial Reels” to test what works and grow smarter
• The real reason your content isn’t getting seen—and the fix

Mentioned in the Episode:

• Build Your Tribe Interview with Adam Mosseri
• The McClain Method on Instagram
