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.
