    48. The Instagram Reset: What to Do If You’ve Been MIA (Without Apologizing)
    Jan 6 2026

    Been a little MIA on Instagram (especially after the holidays)? Same. And no—you don’t need to crawl back online with a 7-paragraph apology.

    In this episode, I’m giving you a zero-guilt Instagram reset:

    1. How to come back without “sorry I’ve been gone”
    2. The best first post to make after a break (low-pressure, high-connection)
    3. Fun re-engagement story ideas that don’t feel like a chore
    4. A simple 3-post/week rhythm to ease back into consistency without burning out
    5. Plus: how to rebuild the habit without going “post daily for 2 weeks then disappear again”

    And if you want me to literally tell you what to post (hooks, captions, stories, all of it), I’ll also share how my Plug & Post membership fits into your comeback plan.

    47. Our Most Viral Posts of 2025 (And the Exact Hooks You Can Steal for 2026)
    Dec 30 2025

    It’s the last week of 2025 (what?!), so I’m doing a year-end viral post breakdown—mine and my clients’. But we’re defining “viral” differently: yes, views matter… but I care way more about followers per post and comments (especially if it was a ManyChat-style post meant to drive sales).

    In this episode, I’m walking you through:

    • The real way to measure virality (and why a million views doesn’t always mean anything)
    • The exact hooks behind our top-performing Reels, carousels, and even a single graphic post
    • The psychology that made them work
    • Universal prompts you can steal and try this week going into 2026

    And your homework? Pick one prompt, post it, track the right metrics, and DM me your results on Instagram @nicoleialeggio so I can hype you up.

    46. The “No-Brainer” Content Strategy for Service Providers in 2026
    Dec 23 2025

    If selling your services on Instagram feels like a full-time job… this episode is about to make you exhale.

    You don’t need 30 pieces of content a week. You need a repeatable system that builds trust, answers buyer questions before they ask them, and makes hiring you feel like the obvious next step.

    In this episode, I’m breaking down my no-brainer content strategy for service providers going into 2026 including the 4 content categories you should rotate through, how to show proof without sounding braggy, and tons of niche examples you can steal.

    Want to implement this fast? Pick ONE of the four categories and post it this week (or right after the holiday chaos).
