In Episode 171 of the Best Coach Ever podcast, Lynette dives deep into one of her favorite topics—Instagram—and unpacks why so much of the platform feels stale right now. If you’ve been doing “everything right” on Instagram (perfect hooks, trending audios, polished B-rolls) but your engagement still feels flat, this episode is your reality check and reset.

Lynette explains how the rise of AI and copy-paste content has created a sea of sameness, why “authentic” now matters more than “aesthetic,” and how showing up as your unfiltered self can actually make your business more profitable. From her viral “Tiny Mic” videos to sharing both her million-dollar wins and vulnerable moments online, she breaks down what kind of content is converting best right now—and it’s not what most coaches think.

If you’ve been stuck in the content hamster wheel, this episode will help you ditch the formula and find your real voice again.
