Today’s episode is a bit extra special, because I’m recording from our very own beach house at the Outer Banks! I’m sharing the wild, emotional journey of how I was able to buy the lot next to my grandmother’s original cottage and how content creation made it all possible.

We’ll also talk about why the best content these days looks and feels like it’s coming from a real person, and I’ll break down strategies for simple, relatable posts that make you the friend people want to follow, no matter your business size or follower count. Plus, I’ll highlight real examples as inspiration so you can create easy, authentic content that fits right into your life.

In this episode we’ll be covering:

• The power of posting authentic, relatable content rooted in real life.
• A huge follower count does not necessarily equate success.
• Instagram’s new Blend feature and creative ways to use it for marketing insights.
• Why posting like a person, not a brand, connects and resonates better with audiences.
• Creating low-stress, effective content by simply documenting moments from your daily life.
