Your Instagram is not broken because of the algorithm. It is broken because of what is underneath your content. Syd is back after Hyrox and she came in hot. This episode is a real-time masterclass in the Instagram strategy she uses with clients, from carousels and trending audio to crafting content that sounds like you instead of everyone else.

There is a version of you that built everything around being palatable. Around being easy. Around making sure nobody was ever uncomfortable with who you were becoming.

In this episode: -- How low self-worth hid the quality of her brand work for years -- The real cost of people-pleasing as a business owner -- Shedding identities that were never yours to begin with -- Why she stopped being palatable and embraced being powerful -- From hiding to owning: the agency growth story nobody saw coming -- Her vision for 29 and what "no more hiding, just power" actually means Your brand cannot outgrow your self-worth.
