Starting (or Restarting) Your Instagram Account - Tips to Grow with Confidence in 2025

In this episode, we’re diving into one of the most common questions I get in my DMs: “How do I get started or restart my Instagram account?” Whether you’ve got a shiny new profile, an account that’s been gathering dust, or you’re staging a comeback, I’ve got you covered with practical tips, mindset shifts, and actionable strategies to grow your Instagram with ease in 2025.

Here’s what you’ll learn:
✅ Why niching down is your secret weapon for standing out in a crowded space.
✅ How Instagram is evolving into a search engine—and how to optimize your captions with keywords.
✅ The power of building a community vs. chasing followers.
✅ Why personal branding always wins (and examples from Oprah, the Kardashians, and more).
✅ My go-to content ideas to help you connect with your audience, including:

  • A reintroduction post to connect authentically.
  • Fun “This or That” carousel ideas.
  • Reel ideas like “Three Fun Facts About Me” and “A Day in My Life.”
  • Myth-busting posts to educate and engage.
  • How to create an Ask Me Anything post to drive engagement.
