What no one tells you about success, is that once you start building momentum, you’ll be copied.

At first, it’s smaller accounts. But eventually, it’s the big names, the ones who once felt miles ahead, echoing your work without credit.

In this episode, I gets real about what it means to be the one they watch. From content theft to quiet imitation, I share what it’s like to be first… and then see others take your ideas and run.

We talk:

• Why being copied hits harder than you expect
• The shift from “flattered” to frustrated
• What trailblazing actually looks like (and why it’s not always fun)
• And how to protect your energy while staying original

If you’ve ever seen your words, ideas, or strategies show up in someone else’s voice, this one’s for you 💖

If your growth on Instagram has slowed, or never really started, this episode might be the clarity you’ve been missing.

We’re taking 10 steps back and are going to talk about the absolute foundation of ALL Instagram growth: your niche. Because if you get this wrong, all else doesn't even matter.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:

• Why a vague, broad, or constantly shifting niche makes the algorithm work against you
• How “being the niche” is often misunderstood, and why it’s not enough
• Why even good content can flop if the algorithm (and your audience) can’t figure you out
• What to focus on instead of just thinking about "your niche".

If you’ve been posting consistently but your growth feels stuck, this could be the reset you need.

🎧 Listen now and walk away knowing whether your niche is helping you grow, or quietly holding you back.
