Your Instagram is your space.
You don’t need permission to protect your peace.
You don’t owe anyone your energy, your replies, or your platform.

In this episode, I’m getting real about boundaries, the block button, and why using it isn’t “dramatic” - it’s actually powerful.

I’ll share what recently happened when a follower crossed the line in my DMs, why I blocked her without hesitation, and why you should never feel guilty for doing the same.

Think the algorithm is out to get you? Think again.

In this episode, I break down the recent Instagram algorithm update and what it actually means for your content in 2025.

Spoiler: the algorithm isn’t working against you - it’s trying to help you win.

You’ll learn:
→ The real reason your content isn’t getting reach
→ How the algorithm works in a nutshell
→ Why engagement from non-followers is a game-changer
→ And how to work with the algorithm instead of against it

If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like Instagram’s playing favourites, this episode is the reset you didn’t know you needed.

🎧 Hit play and start shifting how you see (and use) the algorithm :)

Every week, Adam Mosseri, aka the Head of Instagram, answers questions on his Stories in his weekly AMA.

I’ve been quietly stalking these for ages, but I’ve decided to start bringing the good stuff here to the podcast and breaking it all down for you.

Because let’s be honest... some of his answers are helpful... and others need a little extra explaining :) So each week, I’ll give you the real takeaways and how to actually use them to grow on Instagram.

In this episode, we’re covering 4 topics he touched on this week:

1. The metrics that matter most for Reels
2. How often you should actually post
3. Do inactive followers affect your reach?
4. And the most interesting one: Instagram Search (and why it’s becoming very important)
