Ep 276. Building A Business Beyond the Algorithm
Mon Feb 02 2026
A few weeks ago I shared why I'm taking my business off Instagram. That episode opened up a lot of relief, resonance, and honestly… a big question:
Okay… if social media doesn't work the way it used to, then what do we do now?
In this episode, I'm talking about what business growth actually looks like in 2026 when:
• the algorithm keeps changing
• engagement and followers don't mean what they used to
• and social media can't be the only place your business lives
We'll talk about:
– why putting all your eggs in one platform is no longer sustainable
– how creativity (not perfection or hacks) becomes the real driver of growth
– what it means to let social media be a channel, not the channel
– how intimacy, relationships, and service matter more than metrics
– and how to simplify without shrinking
This episode is for the woman who feels ready for something more honest, more creative, and more aligned than chasing an algorithm.
Not louder.
Not more posts.
More self-expression.
More intention.
More real connection.
My Private Partnership spaces are open for the woman who is already leading meaningful work, but wants high-level, personalized support as she refines her strategy, her identity, and the way she shows up. Not hustle. Not pressure. But more clarity, creativity, and aligned expansion.
