Instagram Isn’t Showing You ‘Likes’ And This is Powerful For You!

As you may know, Instagram is my jam, and it’s what I’m excited to chat with you about here on the podcast today. We’re going to be diving into how Instagram isn’t showing you ‘likes’ and why this is powerful for you!

Because guess what? The fact that your “likes” are out of sight means that the focus is on your content, rather than a number. Which is HUGE!

So, let’s get into it!
