Feeling like Instagram changed the rules and forgot to tell us? You’re not imagining it. Engagement is down across the board, audience behavior has shifted, and what used to work just… doesn’t.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why your old content isn’t hitting anymore and how to refresh your Instagram strategy so your posts actually drive DMs, list growth, and sales in 2026.

You’ll learn:

→ the 5-step Instagram self-audit every educator needs to do now

→ how to use analytics for your business, not your ego

→ what to stop posting (and what to double down on)

→ why AI saturation has changed your audience’s attention span

→ how to stay ahead of 2026 content trends and build long-term brand relevance

Whether you’re an established educator or just building your education brand, this is your tactical playbook to cut through the noise, rebuild connection, and make your content convert again.

If you’re ready to create content that feels aligned and performs, hit play.
