In this episode of Call Her Creator, we’re talking about a shift so many ambitious women are feeling right now: leaving traditional corporate paths and building careers that actually feel good to live. My guest is Brianna Doe, CEO of Verbatim and a creator economy strategist who has seen both sides up close, from corporate marketing rooms to creators building real businesses online.

We unpack what modern professionalism really looks like today, why so many women are rewriting success, and how to build a career that aligns with your life instead of draining it. Brianna shares the mindset shifts behind a corporate exit, how to avoid burnout while staying ambitious, and what it takes to build sustainable success as a creator or entrepreneur.

We also dive into creator economy strategy, what makes a creator attractive to brands, the biggest mistakes creators make when pitching partnerships, and how to start building multiple income streams before you make the leap.

Welcome back to The Weekly Scroll! This week we're talking about Instagram’s BIGGEST 2026 Update: Mini-Drama Reels & Anonymous Stories.

Instagram is officially leaning into mini-drama storytelling, prioritizing emotional hooks, serialized Reels, and longer watch times over trend-only content. If you’ve been wondering why educational posts aren’t hitting the same, this shift toward storytelling explains everything.

We’re also unpacking Instagram’s anonymous Story viewing test and what it means for engagement, replies, and measuring performance in 2026. If passive viewers increase, conversations will matter more than ever.

The Year of the Horse: How to Align Your Life and Business for Your Most Successful Year Yet

Have you been feeling stuck, burnt out, or like you’re falling behind in your life or business? You’re not alone — and the truth is, it might not be about working harder. It might be about understanding your season.

In this episode of Call Her Creator, Katelyn Rhoades breaks down the powerful symbolism behind the Year of the Horse and how ambitious women, entrepreneurs, and creators can use this season as a framework for clarity, alignment, and sustainable success.

You’ll learn how the transition from last year’s “shedding” energy into a new season of forward movement can help you refocus your priorities, rebuild momentum, and move toward your goals with intention instead of burnout.

Katelyn also shares practical strategies for aligning your life and business, including how to identify what’s weighing you down, how to build stamina instead of hustle, and how to confidently take imperfect action toward the next level of your growth.

Plus, she explains how to calculate your personal year numerology number as a simple reflection tool to better understand the theme of your current season.

This episode is perfect for creators, entrepreneurs, and ambitious women who want to stop feeling scattered, regain clarity, and make this their most aligned and successful year yet.

Want to know exactly how I grew my Instagram to 200K+ followers without guessing what to post every day?

In this episode, I’m breaking down the exact system behind that growth: the Core 5 Framework. This is the simple, repeatable content strategy I’ve used for years on my own account and with clients to build audiences, create engagement, and turn Instagram into a real sales machine.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed trying to figure out what to post, chasing trends, or posting randomly and hoping something works, this episode is for you.

I’ll walk you through the CORE 5 types of posts every business needs:

You’ll learn how these five categories work together like a social media sales cycle, how often to post, and how to create a weekly plan you can follow without burning yourself out.

This isn’t about trends or viral hacks. It’s about a proven framework that actually works long-term.

Plus, I’ll share how you can take this strategy even further inside Social Media Sales School, where I teach the full step-by-step system, caption formulas, content calendars, and tools to make Instagram feel easy instead of overwhelming.

And don’t forget — the Dare to Post Challenge is happening now. Post once a day for 30 days, grow your account, and earn a share of the $100K prize pool. I’m doing it too, and I want you in it with me.

If you’re ready to stop overthinking Instagram and start posting with confidence, press play.

This week on Call Her Creator, I’m getting personal.

For a long time, I believed success meant constant hustle, endless availability, and always being “on.” From the outside, my business was thriving. But behind the scenes, I was exhausted, overwhelmed, and missing moments with the people I love most.

The wake-up call came at my son’s baseball game when I realized I was so focused on work that I missed one of his biggest moments. That day changed everything.

In this episode, I’m sharing my honest story of stepping into my “soft girl era” as a business owner and mom. Not soft as in giving up. Soft as in calm, intentional, and no longer wearing burnout like a badge of honor.

I’m walking you through the 10 practical changes I made to slow down, protect my peace, set boundaries, and redesign my business so it supports my life instead of consuming it.

If you’ve ever felt torn between wanting a big, successful business and wanting to be fully present for your family, this episode is for you.

You don’t have to choose between ambition and presence. You just have to build differently.

And if you’re ready for your own reset, check out my 6-Week Reinvention Challenge. It’s designed to help you slow down, get clear, and realign your goals with the life you actually want to live.

In today’s episode of Call Her Creator (powered by Stan), I’m sitting down with the incredible Shannon Gillette. She’s a wife, boy mom, one of the top Realtors in Arizona, founder of The Gillette Group at Real Broker, and she’s been featured on HGTV. Oh, and she’s built an Instagram brand that’s closing real business with nearly 100,000 followers.

But here’s what I love most: Shannon didn’t start with a platform. She started from scratch in 2015 with no money, no clients, and zero followers. Now she leads a top-producing team selling hundreds of homes a year, and she credits one thing more than anything else.

Instagram stories.

This is not a fluff conversation. Shannon breaks down the systems, decisions, and behind-the-scenes effort that helped her build a personal brand that converts attention into income. We talk about how she treats Instagram like a reality show (not a commercial), why she posts five stories a day, how she uses video hooks to stop the scroll, and how she creates content that attracts the right people instead of trying to appeal to everyone.

If you’re a creator, entrepreneur, or service provider who wants to grow your audience and actually turn that growth into revenue, you’re going to love this one.

And if you want support building a strategy that actually converts without forcing trends or perfection, Katelyn shares how to join Social Media School at the end of the episode.⁠

In this episode of Call Her Creator, Katelyn Rhoades opens up about the weirdest season of growth she’s ever experienced — a season where nothing is “wrong,” but everything feels different.

If you’re a high-achieving woman, entrepreneur, or creator who’s used to momentum, urgency, and hustle, this episode is for you. Katelyn shares what it feels like to be in the in-between phase before your next level — when you’ve outgrown old patterns, stopped chasing, and feel calmer than usual… even when that calm feels unfamiliar.

Drawing from personal experiences with business growth, faith, health changes, and identity shifts, Katelyn explores why quieter seasons of growth are often the most transformative. She talks about losing urgency without losing ambition, trusting God when the next step isn’t clear, and learning to listen instead of force clarity.

This episode is a reminder that leveling up doesn’t always feel exciting. Sometimes it feels slow, uncomfortable, and deeply internal — and that doesn’t mean you’re behind. It means you’re integrating.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

What it means to be in the in-between before your next level

Why growth can feel calm instead of chaotic

Letting go of hustle and learning to trust the quiet

Faith, discernment, and seasons of becoming

How high-achieving women experience identity shifts before expansion

If your life feels quieter, slower, or different right now — and you’re wondering what it all means — this conversation will help you feel seen, grounded, and confident that you’re exactly where you need to be.
