I've been getting heaps of frustrated, panicky DMs about a particular post that has been circulating Instagram over the last few weeks.

This particular carousel, posted by two well-known Instagram coaches, said that Instagram post sizes have changed.

For one second I panicked too: "did I miss something!?" 😳

You know it's my mission as an Instagram coach to keep you up to date on the latest, and I wouldn't want to miss such an important update...

But soon I found out I didn't miss anything, and that there was actually something else going on that smells a little bit... fishy.

In this podcast episode I'll tell you all about it ❤️

A few weeks ago here on Talk Insta to Me, we talked about five simple ways to increase your reach.

In today’s episode, I want to go a lot deeper.

Because if you really want to understand why some posts take off and others completely flop, you need to understand what actually drives reach, aka the signals the Instagram algorithm looks at.

In this episode, we unpack why beautiful videos don’t automatically get reach, and what creators & business owners often misunderstand about reach.

I’ll be honest: I thought Facebook was dead 😵

I hadn’t posted there intentionally in years, and I definitely didn’t see it as a platform for growth or income anymore.

But then something unexpected happened...

In this episode of Talk Insta to Me, I’m sharing how I gained over 27,000 followers and made over $2,000 in 45 days on Facebook, mostly by repurposing content I already had living on my phone.

If you’ve ever wondered whether Facebook is still worth your time… this episode might surprise you 🤗

There’s something I’ve been sitting with for a while now...

Something I’ve gone back and forth on sharing… because it’s personal, a little uncomfortable, and I wasn't sure if I wanted to talk about it publicly.

But the more I thought about it, the more I realised that not sharing it would be doing a disservice, especially to those of you who are in a similar place, feeling the same things, or quietly questioning certain parts of your business or yourself.

So in this episode, I’m opening up.

Not with a polished lesson or a “here’s the answer” kind of episode, but with honesty, reflection, and a conversation I think a lot of people need to hear right now ❤️

I won’t spoil it here, but if you’ve ever:
– felt a shift happening
– questioned what you’re building
– or had something on your mind you weren’t sure you were allowed to say out loud

This one’s for you.

After the crazy success of Season One (thank you thank you thank youuuu!), Talk Insta to Me is back for Season Two, and we’re taking things up a little notch.

In this season, we’re doubling down even more on what actually matters for Instagram growth as the platform becomes more crowded, AI can no longer be ignored and reach will be harder to earn.

In this first episode of the season, The Future of Instagram, we zoom out and look at where the platform is really heading. Inspired by a recent statement from Instagram’s CEO, Adam Mosseri, we unpack what the rise of AI, synthetic content, and abundance means for creators, and why trust, human connection, and point of view are becoming the real differentiators.

If Instagram is part of your business or brand, this episode will give you clarity, reassurance, and a very clear sense of what to focus on next 🙏🏼

Instagram just limited hashtags to five, and no, this isn’t a bad thing.
It’s actually a massive signal for where Instagram growth is heading in 2026.

In this episode, I break down why this update isn’t really about hashtags at all, and what it does tell us about the one non-negotiable you need if you want to grow on Instagram next year.

We’ll talk about:

• why Instagram is moving away from generic signals
• what is becoming essential for growth
• how search is now one of the biggest drivers of discovery
• how your Instagram posts can show up on Instagram search AND Google
• and what this means for creators, coaches, businesses, and local brands

If you want sustainable growth in 2026, not just spikes, this episode will change how you think about Instagram strategy.

🎧 Talk Insta to Me will be back in the new year after a short break.

As we wrap up the year, let’s talk about the real secret to Instagram success in 2026 👀

Spoiler: it’s not about setting massive, unrealistic goals you’ll abandon by the end of January.

In this episode, I break down:

• why huge follower goals don’t work anymore
• how Instagram user behaviour has changed
• why small, achievable milestones create real momentum
• the difference between number goals and process goals
• and the simple 2-step goal-setting exercise I want you to do before the new year

If you want 2026 to be the year you actually stay consistent, stay motivated, and finally grow in a way that feels good… this episode is your roadmap.

Tune in, take notes, and let’s set you up for your best Instagram year yet ✨
