In this episode of Social Media Decoded, host Michelle Thames pulls back the curtain on a powerful client transformation. Meet Neita Wilson, founder of Celebrating You Ministries, who booked a 1:1 Instagram Intensive with Michelle.

In just 60 minutes, Neita went from posting without strategy to showing up with clarity, confidence, and a content plan that reflects her mission. Michelle and Neita discuss the process of revamping her bio, building a seven-day content strategy, and why visibility is about more than posting — it’s about creating intentional, aligned content that leads to real results.
