Text me your content win!

Today I'm breaking down the biggest lie social media ever sold us: that high numbers are the only thing that matter. Spoiler alert—they're not.

Whether you're a new content creator, a seasoned travel influencer, or just wondering how to grow on Instagram without losing your mind, this episode will help you reconnect with the humans behind the numbers. You’re probably doing way better than you think—and I’m here to prove it.

💡 What You’ll Learn:

  • Why 47 likes is not a failure—it’s a whole restaurant full of people.
  • How to reframe your metrics using “the living room rule.”
  • The mindset shift that will help you stop chasing the algorithm and start creating for actual people.
  • Why smaller engagement often means deeper trust (especially in travel content).
  • Practical perspective shifts to get you out of your engagement rut—fast.
  • The surprising power of word-of-mouth growth (yes, it still exists!).

🧭 For Travel Creators Who Want To:

  • Understand how to grow on Instagram without burnout
  • Get out of a creative slump and back into aligned content creation
  • Focus on real impact over vanity metrics
  • Build deeper relationships with their existing audience
  • Learn the difference between chasing viral trends and building sustainable influence
