At first, trial reels felt like another awkward Instagram feature trying to force itself into our strategy. But in this episode, I’m sharing the exact shift that helped me turn trial reels from “meh” to magnetic. I’m breaking down how I stopped treating them like throwaway content and started using them with intention—not to sell, but to attract the right people into my world.

You’ll learn how trial reels can fit into a full Instagram sales strategy (hello, Step 1: Growth), how to lead with your personality and USP, and what kind of content actually converts new followers into paying clients. Plus, I’m giving you the deets on a $9 limited-time offer for my Trial Reels Guide & Formulas to help you do it yourself—strategically, confidently, and without burning out.

Let’s be real... AI is basically screen time for business owners. It’s fast, it’s easy, and it saves brain power, but it also turns your content into bland, forgettable noise. If you’ve ever scrolled past a post that seemed fine but left zero impact, that’s the AI effect in action. In today’s episode, I’m breaking down why AI-generated content isn’t converting your followers into buyers, and what you should be doing instead to make your content actually work for you.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✅ Why AI posts often blend into the noise (and how to make yours stand out)
✅ The key ingredient missing from AI-generated content that’s crucial for sales
✅ How to use AI without losing your personal touch
✅ Why generic Instagram strategies aren’t cutting it anymore—and what to do instead

Feeling like you’re just posting into the void on Instagram? You’re not alone. 

In this episode, I’m breaking down the exact strategy that helped my client increase her engagement by 3500% in just one week—without adding more work to her already full plate. More importantly, this shift led to dream clients DMing her, ready to buy.

If you’re tired of chasing trends, second-guessing your content, and seeing zero return on your effort, this episode is for you. You’ll learn three key changes that make Instagram work for you instead of feeling like you’re working for Instagram. Get ready to simplify, strategize, and start seeing real results.

📌 Instagram isn’t broken—your strategy might be. If you're posting consistently but not seeing sales, it’s time to shift your approach.

📌 Trends are frosting, not the cake. They can help boost engagement, but they’re not a strategy for sales. You need a solid foundation.

📌 3 simple shifts that changed everything:

1. Clarity: No more posting just to post—every piece of content needs a purpose.
2. Strategic Content Mix: Balance engagement-driven trends with authority-building content that leads to sales.
3. Make Taking Action Effortless: Your audience needs an easy, clear path to buy from you.

📌 You don’t need to post more—you need to post smarter. A clear strategy saves you time AND gets better results.

What if I told you that you could be fully booked with paying clients on Instagram… with less than 300 followers?

Sounds impossible, right? But that’s exactly what I did—while solo parenting three kids under five, creating Canva graphics on my phone in the dark, and navigating deployment life. I was doing everything I thought I was supposed to do… and still, nothing was working. Until I made one simple shift.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain to show you exactly what changed so you can stop focusing on vanity metrics and start seeing real sales—without wasting time or sacrificing family moments.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✅ Why posting more, engaging more, and following trends isn’t the solution
✅ The actual reason your content isn’t converting to sales
✅ How I went from inconsistent engagement to a fully booked business with a small audience
✅ The 5-step strategy that simplifies Instagram and saves you hours each week
