And then there were 2 🥰 Today we have a bittersweet announcement for our podcast.
The bitter part 🥲 decided to step aside being 1/3 of the podcast, because of reasons we all know too well: boundaries and prevent burnout (can anyone relate?). We want to extend a big thank you to Steph! We will miss her and will continue to collaborate with her in other ways. ❤️
The sweet part 🍰 Laura .social and Manu are taking this opportunity to change things up a bit around here and are super excited. We will have shorter and more dynamic episodes, covering only the things that are helpful for you to know.
We also did a visual revamp by mixing our two brand colors together, simply to allow us to collaborate between our accounts without being off-brand (don't worry, the fun memes and insightful quotes aren't going anywhere!).
You can catch our first episode of this new phase on Monday!❤️

When Reels first dropped we felt the collective eye-roll of every social media manager.
But over time, we’ve seen the kind of engagement that can be had when we harness the power of Reels to boost our brands and businesses in a way that feels authentic to us.
But why brave it alone?!
Listen to us give our two cents on Instagram Reels (it's episode 2!) as well as some of our favorite advice.
We even spill some hot tips from Laura .social-- our very own Reels Queen 👑 on how she turned Reels videos into real dollars.
You’re not going to want to miss this episode. For Reel!
