#231: Instagram Content Tips For Life Coaches (2026 Algorithm Update)

from Make It Visible Hosted by Michelle Kuei

With AI doing more of the heavy lifting and the Instagram algorithm giving users more control over what they see, your dream clients can now literally tell the app, “Nope, don’t show me this kind of post again.” Which sounds great as a user. As a life coach trying to get clients? That hits differently. In this episode, I break down what the 2026 Instagram algorithm changes really mean for life coaches and how to create content that still gets seen, saves you from shouting into the void, and actually leads to paying clients. We will talk about: How AI and the Reels algorithm decide what content gets pushed out What high value content actually looks like for life coaches in 2026 Why vague messaging like “I help women feel more confident” is not enough anymore.
