Upped the game to five Reels a week. Things started to pick up a bit more.

Went all in with twelve Reels and a couple of Carousels. The engagement started to show but growth was still slow.
Month 5 – 551 followers – 12 Reels, 2 Carousels a week
Kept pushing with lots of Reels and Carousels. Was starting to see steady growth.
Month 6 – 20k followers – 12 Reels, 2 Carousels a week
Boom! Hit 20k! Stuck with the same posting frequency, and started riding the wave of virality.
Month 7 – 33.3k followers – 10 Reels a week
Cut back a little to ten Reels a week. Focused more on quality over quantity.
Month 8 – 80k followers – 8 Reels a week

Closed in on 100k by posting just five really engaging Reels each week.

Balanced out with a mix of Reels and Carousels, keeping things fresh and while also nurturing current audience.
Month 11 – 125k followers – 5-8 Reels, 2-3 Carousels a week

How We Did It:
✨ Kept Posting: Stayed consistent with our content.
—> put a heavy focus on reels to reach new audiences
—> showed ourselves on camera and backed up our expertise with real stories and experiences
—> kept our trending reels short to inspire replays
—> used hooks that tapped into psychographics instead of demographics
It’s been a Wild ride, but totally worth it and doable.

Your environment shapes your results more than you might think 🌺🌸🌿
We brought home a fresh bouquet of peonies, vibrant and full of potential. Yet, one stem broke off and found itself in a completely different environment. While the others bloomed beautifully, the broken one didn’t flourish at all. 🌷
The same goes for us and our Instagram journey. Look around you – is your environment nurturing your growth or holding you back? Is it fostering your creativity or stifling your potential? ✨
Think about what might be preventing you from blooming. Is it a mindset, a routine, or perhaps something external?
You have the power to change it all.

Truly never been so shook over a hack before. We will NEVER shoot content the same again - okay that’s a bit dramatic but you get our point hahah.
For real though, we were today years old when we realized we could record content for reels, take pics and videos HANDS FREE using your iPhone and voice in seconds.
*things to keep in mind when setting this feature up:
—> it only works when voice control is turned ON
—> your settings will save permanently, so if you have it set to the command, “take a photo” turn it off when you’re done so it doesn’t randomly take photos every time it hears you say those words unintentionally (or do hehe)
—> however many taps you make for your gesture to take a picture is the amount of times it’s going to “snap a photo” and it goes quick - so be ready to have fun!
What do you think? Were you as shook as us? Loll

NEVER recording on the instagram app again without doing this first!!
Okay that’s a bit hardcore hahah but for real it’s a total GAME-CHANGER when it comes to creating content- especially within the app.
It’s so easy too and adds such a better effect to your stories and reels 🤗
*while you’re in the app
—> drag on the left hand side to reveal your iPhone navigation bar
—> tap video effects (top corner)
—> portrait mode blurs the background behind you to give a professional, crisp look to your videos while you record within the Instagram app
—> studio light adds light to your face like a mini ring light (yes please)
—> and reactions add effects to gestures like a thumbs up 👍
Heads up - when we first tried this we had to swipe a couple of times to see it pop up so don’t be discouraged if it doesn’t work on the first try.
The coolest part is tho, once you have it clicked it keeps the setting every single time even if you close out of the app.
What do you think?

The reason your content going viral on Instagram…
Isn’t because you’re not doing crazy skits or hopping on trends. It’s because you’re making this one crucial mistake.
As humans, we’re drawn to narratives, order, and structure.
Your reels should tell a story in a clear format: start, climax, and end.
End your reel at the climax, not 20 seconds later to guarantee more likes and engagement✨
When viewers hit that peak moment, their brains release dopamine, making them feel excited and satisfied. This rush makes them more likely to double-tap, comment, and share your content.

Can we be honest with you for a sec?
Changing gears, pivoting and transitioning in life can literally feel like wearing wet clothes - UNCOMFORTABLE AF.
But here’s the deal - it’s necessary if you want to tap into the highest version of yourself.
On a coaching call the other day we spoke about how in the process of becoming a butterfly, caterpillars actually turn into a gooey goop while in the chrysalis phase.
It’s gross but necessary for its transformation.
So just remember, when you want to bail and step back into safety, you’re only depriving yourself of becoming the butterfly you were always meant to be.
