🎙️ Social Media Success in 2026: Creating Valuable Content
🎙️ Social Media Success in 2026: Creating Valuable Content
Hey bestie 🤍
Today we’re breaking down the very loud conversation around 2026 being “the era of value” and the rise of the so-called intellectual influencer. Spoiler: this isn’t new, but there is something important to learn from it.
✨ In This Episode
• Value isn’t trending, it’s returning
Educators, strategists, and thought-leaders have always existed. What’s changing is what people are paying attention to.
• Your algorithm shapes your mindset
What you consume influences what you create. If your feed is all entertainment, you might miss the creators who are building depth and longevity.
• Audiences are more aware than ever
People can spot clickbait and shallow content quickly. As more creators and consumers focus on wellness, growth, and the future, educational and thoughtful content feels more aligned.
• Community over clout
Instead of asking “How do I get more views?” try “How do I increase my impact?” Depth builds trust. Trust builds longevity.
• What counts as valuable content?
Value can look like:
Educating
Entertaining
Inspiring
Every piece of content should have a clear goal, whether that’s teaching something new, making someone laugh, or helping them feel seen.
• Depth is available to every niche
Even lifestyle, fashion, and beauty creators can go deeper through values, opinions, and real conversations. Substance is what makes content memorable.
🎧 Final Thought
Before you post your next piece of content, ask yourself:
How can I make my audience’s life, brand, business, or mindset just 1% better today?
That’s the real formula for social media success in 2026.

🎧 DIY Your Content Plan With Intention (Not the Algorithm)
If you’ve ever downloaded a content calendar, tried to follow someone else’s posting routine, or felt overwhelmed by all the “you should be doing this” advice… this episode is for you.
In this solo episode, we break down how to DIY your own content plan so you’re creating with clarity, confidence, and intention, not chaos, burnout, or algorithm anxiety.
✨ What You’ll Learn In This Episode
• The difference between a content plan vs a content strategy and why confusing the two keeps creators stuck
• Why creating for the algorithm sets you up for inconsistency and frustration
• How to choose a sustainable posting cadence you can actually maintain
• What content pillars really are (and why “educate, inspire, entertain” isn’t it)
• How to build a simple weekly content schedule that removes decision fatigue
• How to review your content monthly and pivot intentionally using real data
• The difference between your creative brain vs CEO brain and when to let each one lead
• Why repetition is not boring, it’s strategic
• How to lean into what’s working instead of constantly chasing new ideas

🎧 Episode: Creating Your It Girl Agenda for 2026
Welcome to the first episode of the Inspired Media Podcast of 2026 🤍
We’re kicking off the year with our annual tradition: creating your IT GIRL AGENDA!!!!
2026 isn’t about burning everything down or starting from scratch.
This is a refinement year. We’re building on what already works, learning from 2025, and stepping into a more intentional version of ourselves.
In this episode, I walk you through my updated It Girl Agenda framework so you can plan the year without overwhelming yourself.
✨ What We Cover
• Why you should plan for the year but focus on the quarter
• How to do a real audit of 2025 (results and feelings)
• The four categories every It Girl Agenda needs
• Why identity matters more than goals
• How to set one focused goal per category without burnout
• A simple system to stay consistent all year
🧠 The It Girl Agenda Framework
Rule #1: Plan the year, but hyper focus on the quarter
Step 1: The Audit
Review your calendar, camera roll, finances, and notes
Audit how things felt, not just what happened
Step 2: Set goals in four categories
Business
Socials
Finances
Personal
Step 3: Identity first
Start with “I’m the type of person who…”
Goals follow identity, not the other way around
Step 4: One goal per category
Attach one to two realistic weekly action items
🤍 Final Thoughts
Your value is not defined by what you accomplished in 2025.
Ambition is honorable. Wanting more is honorable. Planning is honorable.
But the pressure doesn’t have to come from you.
Give it to God and let 2026 show you how good it can be.
📌 Pro Tips
• Film yourself creating your It Girl Agenda in January
• Make a phone folder titled “2026” for ideas, milestones, and memories
• Share this episode with a friend who needs a fresh start

Hey Bestie 🤍🫶
If you watched the last episode or you’ve been tuning into my content, you know I’m all about unselfish content — but today, we’re talking about unselfish selling and how the two actually come from the same place. I’m currently in a soft launch (July 2025 vibes), and I figured this would be the perfect time to give you the real behind-the-scenes on what it actually looks like to launch a course that connects, converts, and doesn’t make people roll their eyes.
This episode is a mix of storytelling, live lessons, and strategy — no gatekeeping, just real tea from the trenches. If you're planning to launch your own digital product or you’ve been side-eyeing the course world wondering if it’s still worth it... this one’s for you. 💻
🖊 WHAT WE'RE COVERING: 
Why courses have been getting canceled on social media — and why that’s kind of fair
The exact numbers from my soft launch: 50+ sales in 2 days, 80+ in 6 days, $8K+ in revenue
What I focused on to make the course actually valuable — content, structure, delivery
My IG-first marketing approach: what worked, what surprised me, and what I’d do differently
A breakdown of the entertaining vs. inspirational vs. educational content angle
How I built trust and prepped my audience before launch without being annoying
Lessons in selling through serving (and why your offer isn’t about you — it’s about them)
Tangible tips for building and launching your own digital product in 2025
If you’re in your course era, or even just thinking about it, this episode is your permission slip to do it ethically and intentionally — while still getting paid. 💸 Let’s normalize launching without scamming, shall we?
