The Nourished CEO Podcast How to Make Instagram Fun Again (and Still Attract Clients) With Jenna Harding
If Instagram has started feeling like a stressful full-time job instead of a creative way to make more money as an online coach or practitioner, this episode is your permission slip to have fun again.
I sit down with Instagram strategist Jenna Harding, who helps coaches and service-based business owners have more fun on Instagram while growing more effectively at the same time, so they can get more clients without burning out or losing their authenticity.
We dig into the mindset shifts and practical strategies that make Instagram enjoyable and effective as a coach or service provider. From breaking free of perfectionism to creating content that feels natural, Jenna shares how to stop overthinking, start showing up as yourself, and still grow your business.
If you've ever caught yourself obsessing over reach, algorithms, or even your camera angle, you're going to love this conversation.
