Feeling stuck on Instagram despite all your effort? This episode kicks off our summer series on audience growth—and we’re starting with the platform we love to hate: Instagram.

Over the next seven weeks, I’m walking you through platform-specific strategies to grow your audience, and today is all about building an Instagram presence that actually leads to results—without burning out. I break down the difference between just showing up and showing up strategically, and share the exact 90-day framework we teach inside Boldfluence to get creators unstuck and growing again.

You don’t need another “just be consistent” tip. You need a roadmap. Boldfluence gives you the full 90-day plan, a community to support you, and the tools to actually grow your platform with purpose. Let’s build your audience—and your income—together.

The Country Peony

Spoiler alert: the tool isn’t the strategy. If you've been hopping from app to app hoping the next one will unlock your success, this episode is your wake-up call.

Today we're ditching the tech obsession and getting real about what actually moves the needle. From breaking the cycle of tool-chasing to zoning in on what matters most, we’re talking about the clarity, consistency, and alignment that turn side hustles into full-blown creative businesses.

Are you consistent but still not seeing growth? You’re not alone. Every creator has been there. You're posting regularly, checking off your to-dos, doing everything "right," and yet, the needle barely moves. It’s frustrating and exhausting. Here’s the truth: consistency is not a strategy. Listen in as I break down why doing more isn’t the answer and what actually moves the needle when you feel stuck.

This episode is brought to you by a seven-day tension headache—and the powerful business lesson it gave me. After nearly a year of investing in my health, strength, and consistency, I hit a wall. What started as a migraine, turned into a wake-up call.

In this episode, I share the messy, honest story of what happens when we ignore the signals our bodies (and business) give us, and how easily this business we love can push us past our limits. Listen in as I share what it really means to run a sustainable business as a creator, how to create long-term plans that work, and why your creativity can’t survive on scraps of leftover time and energy.
