Today I'm breaking down the biggest lie social media ever sold us: that high numbers are the only thing that matter. Spoiler alert—they're not.

Whether you're a new content creator, a seasoned travel influencer, or just wondering how to grow on Instagram without losing your mind, this episode will help you reconnect with the humans behind the numbers. You’re probably doing way better than you think—and I’m here to prove it.

💡 What You’ll Learn:

• Why 47 likes is not a failure—it’s a whole restaurant full of people.
• How to reframe your metrics using “the living room rule.”
• The mindset shift that will help you stop chasing the algorithm and start creating for actual people.
• Why smaller engagement often means deeper trust (especially in travel content).
• Practical perspective shifts to get you out of your engagement rut—fast.
• The surprising power of word-of-mouth growth (yes, it still exists!).

🧭 For Travel Creators Who Want To:

• Understand how to grow on Instagram without burnout
• Get out of a creative slump and back into aligned content creation
• Focus on real impact over vanity metrics
• Build deeper relationships with their existing audience

Ever found yourself spiraling into perfectionism and letting a perfectly good idea sit in your drafts for way too long? Same.

But today, I'm breaking down a major mindset shift I had... all thanks to painting the walls of my new apartment (yes, your girl has an actual address now—who knew?!).

In this episode, I’m sharing the real, messy, imperfect metaphor that turned my content strategy mindset on its head: The First Coat Rule. It’s all about just getting it done and making it better later—because let’s be honest, that draft sitting in your phone isn’t helping anyone.

Here’s what we dive into:

• Why done is better than perfect when it comes to content creation
• How overthinking kills momentum (and how to get it back)
• A little pep talk for my fellow people-pleasers
• Why your content doesn’t need to be a masterpiece to be profitable
• The difference between real feedback and made-up problems

Whether you're a seasoned travel content creator or just getting started as a digital content creator, this episode is your permission slip to take messy action and build momentum. Because your audience doesn’t care about perfect—they care about connection, consistency, and YOU showing up.

🔥 Episode Challenge:
Dig up one of those dusty drafts, give it a once-over, and POST IT. Then go do something fun while your brain panics and realizes the world didn’t end. You got this.

Hey guys, we need to talk. This week, I’m walking (literally) through why this* overused line just doesn’t cut it anymore for building a real business as a travel creator.

This one's for my fellow travel influencers, travel content creators, and digital nomads who are ready to move from vague inspiration to real impact. I’m breaking down:

• Why “inspiring travel” has become the most generic (and useless) mission in the creator space
• What your audience actually needs instead (hint: it’s not another sunset pic)
• How to define your real "why" and build content that solves actual problems
• Tangible examples of shifting from inspiration to intention
• My personal process for refining your niche and creating purposeful content

💡 You’ll Learn How To:

• Attract better brand deals by solving real travel problems
• Turn your DM questions into powerful content pillars
• Audit your content like a strategist (not just a scroller)
• Develop a clear message that makes you stand out in a crowded feed

If you’re ready to stop posting just to post, and start creating content that actually helps your audience move from stuck to soaring, book a 1:1 strategy session with me. We’ll dig into your specific audience, your magic sauce, and how to translate that into real business momentum.
