244 - Back on Instagram after 3 years: Month 1 recap + Month 2 plan

We’re one month into our return to Instagram after a 3-year break, and in this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on what’s working, what’s not, and how we’re approaching Instagram in a way that actually feels good (and sustainable). 


Spoiler: we’re not here to growth-hack, we’re here to experiment, stay aligned with our business, and TRY to enjoy the content creation process.


We cover:

  • What our first month back looked like (formats, topics, opt-ins, and spaghetti-throwing)
  • Surprising lessons from low-effort Reels and a spur of the moment carousel
  • Why we’re pivoting to a focused content series, 40 Days of Launch Prep, and how we’re using storytelling as strategy
  • A behind-the-scenes update that we’re already a bit behind on our Month 2 plan, but we’re moving forward!
  • How to reflect on your own content strategy and find what fits your season

If you’ve been thinking about returning to social or just want to create in a way that’s more creatively fulfilling, this one’s for you.
