The Creator Who Grew 300K Followers by Saying She's "Not the Expert" | Instagram Growth Strategy What if the fastest way to grow on Instagram right now isn't looking more polished… but more human? In this episode, Michelle Gifford breaks down the explosive rise of Jessie Jane Hom, a creator who gained over 300,000 followers in just a few months by doing the opposite of what most creators are taught to do. No guru energy. No overly polished content. No pretending to have it all figured out. Instead, Jessie built a personal brand around "yapping videos," emotional connection, strong hooks, audience research, and showing up in the middle of the journey instead of waiting until she had all the answers. Michelle unpacks the 7 Instagram growth strategies Jessie is using right now, including: The "I'm not the expert" hook How to use audience polls for viral content ideas The power of hot takes in Instagram Reels Emotional content that gets shared How captions increase Instagram watch time Why creators should teach from the middle of the climb How to create Instagram content series that keep followers coming back If you're trying to grow on Instagram in 2026, build a personal brand, create better Reels, or figure out what's actually working with the Instagram algorithm right now, this episode will give you practical strategies you can start using immediately. This episode is especially for creators, business owners, influencers, and personal brands who want to grow faster on Instagram without sounding like everyone else online. https://substack.com/@michellegifford

AI is here. It's coming faster than you want it to. And if you're feeling behind, overwhelmed, or like you'd rather just sit this one out — this episode is for you. After a few months off the podcast, I'm back with a long-form conversation about AI, what our place is in it, and why women especially can't afford to stay on the sidelines. In this episode: The dinner-party whisper conversation that's happening in every neighborhood right now Why women have been in this exact spot before — and what happens when we wait The Reese Witherspoon post (and stat) that stopped me in my tracks The reframe that changed everything for me: this isn't happening to me, it's happening for me How I'm using ChatGPT, Claude, and Cowork in my business right now What I learned when I uploaded six years of audience questions into Claude Why you don't need to be an expert — you just need to start Mentioned in this episode: Michelle AI (my custom GPT trained on my frameworks): https://iammichellegifford.com/michelleai My YouTube tutorial walking through ChatGPT, Claude, and Cowork: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izWGsMgIf3o&t=1s Join the conversation on Substack: https://michellegifford.substack.com/ Let's keep talking.

Do you feel like you finally find your rhythm on Instagram, only for the app to go and change the song? It is so easy to feel like you're constantly playing catch-up, but friend, I have some news: The roadmap for the future is already here. Today, we are diving deep into a game-changing update from the head of Instagram himself, Adam Mosseri. We aren't talking about "predictions"—we're talking about the literal shift happening in 2026. Instagram isn't trying to ruin your business; it's trying to survive. And if you want your business to survive (and thrive!) alongside it, you need to move from being a "content creator" to a thought leader. Your Mosseri-Inspired Action Plan: Define Your Authenticity Rules: Instagram doesn't deserve 100% of you. Write down 3-5 things you will share and a firm list of what is off-limits. Your authenticity is an intentional identity, not an emotional expose. Create the "Un-fakeable": As AI gets better at mimicking "messy" aesthetics, the bar is shifting. Stop asking "Can I create this?" and start asking "Can I create something that only I can create?" Move to Thought Leadership: People don't want just another "quick tip"—they want your perspective, your tested results, and your unique "why." Focus on the DMs and Community: The feed is for entertainment, but the connection is happening in the DMs. Build a community that stands for something, not just an audience that watches something. Stop being a victim of the algorithm and start owning the power of your own voice! We need more moms with influence, and that starts with you taking the first step today.

Let's flip the script on traditional bucket lists and create something far more empowering: your Reverse Bucket List—a celebration of everything you've already lived, built, survived, and crushed (yes, even the tiny wins you usually gloss over). We'll walk through five soul-fueling categories to help you finally give yourself the credit you deserve. Get ready to honor your growth, validate your resilience, and spotlight the risks, boundaries, and breakthroughs that shaped you this year. And when your list is complete, you'll finish with one powerful reflection: "Looking at this list, what does this prove I'm capable of doing next?" Tune in, celebrate yourself, and let's make confidence contagious. Want my ChatGPT Reverse Bucket List prompt?

Let's hang out on Instagram!    The prompt: Create a personalized Reverse Bucket List for me. Follow these instructions exactly: A reverse bucket list is NOT future goals. Only list things I've already done, lived through, survived, or accomplished. Include both the big things and the small, "I never give myself credit for this" things. Include moments of growth, hard seasons I made it through, risks I took, habits I built, boundaries I set, and things I'm proud of but rarely say out loud. Do NOT let me downplay anything. If it mattered, include it. Organize my reverse bucket list into these categories: Identity & Personal Growth Work, Creativity & Achievement Relationships & Family Hard Things I Survived Fun, Adventure & Unexpected Wins After listing them, write one reflection sentence answering:  "Looking at this list, what does this prove I'm capable of doing next?" Before you create my reverse bucket list, ask me 5 clarifying questions about my year so you can make it accurate and meaningful.

Please do the following: Ask me deep follow-up questions instead of just agreeing with me. Poke holes in my assumptions and challenge my thinking. Help me identify the ONE thing I should be known for in the next 12–24 months. Help me separate my platform strategy (Instagram, YouTube, podcast, blog, etc.) and clarify what belongs where. Help me design a long-term identity arc—what I'm known for now vs. what I want to be known for in 2–3 years. Help me build a clear 6–12 month plan for my content, offers, and positioning. Help me create a revenue roadmap that matches my goals. Make sure your questions and your advice align with my actual goals—not what you think they should be. Throughout the process, continually ask: • "Why this?" • "Is this aligned with your real goals?" • "What would feel light, joyful, and sustainable?"Help me create a final strategic plan broken into: • Identity & positioning • Platform roles • Content cadence • Offer suite • Revenue plan • Next 6 months • Year 2 vision Start by asking me: "What do you want to be known for 12 months from now, and what do you want to be known for 3 years from now?" Then continue coaching me through the rest of the process, one question at a time. Want to save more time creating content? Get my Chat GPT Prompts!

Get ready, friend—2026 is right around the corner, and big shifts are coming to Instagram, social strategy, and the way businesses grow online. In this episode, I pull out her crystal ball and share my top predictions for the year ahead: from the rise of storytelling content and search-driven discovery to live selling, community-building, in-person events, and the continued surge of carousels and long-form content. I also break down what you should be doing now—tightening your systems, getting serious about content strategy, leaning into Stories, using AI the right way, and finally letting go of "the way Instagram used to be."

Ever wonder how truly confident people got that way? Is it a gift? A switch they flipped? Or something they just are? In this eye-opening episode, we're challenging the common—and often misleading—definition of confidence. I share my personal journey and reveal a powerful truth: building self-assurance is a process of becoming, not an event. What You'll Discover: Why instant results are a myth and long-term, disciplined commitment is the real magic bullet. The danger of sitting on the "fence of decision"—and how to finally get off it and start moving your business forward. Why you need the willingness to be bad at something (like creating new content) to eventually become great. The game-changing importance of having a fun, compelling vision for your goals. Practical, actionable systems to reduce friction and boost your consistency in showing up for your business. The critical role of finding a supportive community (and how to stop letting "mom guilt" sabotage your ambition). Confidence isn't given; it's earned through consistent action. If you're tired of waiting to feel ready, this episode gives you the exact steps to start becoming the person and business owner you know you're meant to be, inch by inch, win by win.
