This week on Call Her Creator, I’m getting personal. For a long time, I believed success meant constant hustle, endless availability, and always being “on.” From the outside, my business was thriving. But behind the scenes, I was exhausted, overwhelmed, and missing moments with the people I love most. The wake-up call came at my son’s baseball game when I realized I was so focused on work that I missed one of his biggest moments. That day changed everything. In this episode, I’m sharing my honest story of stepping into my “soft girl era” as a business owner and mom. Not soft as in giving up. Soft as in calm, intentional, and no longer wearing burnout like a badge of honor. I’m walking you through the 10 practical changes I made to slow down, protect my peace, set boundaries, and redesign my business so it supports my life instead of consuming it. If you’ve ever felt torn between wanting a big, successful business and wanting to be fully present for your family, this episode is for you. You don’t have to choose between ambition and presence. You just have to build differently. And if you’re ready for your own reset, check out my 6-Week Reinvention Challenge. It’s designed to help you slow down, get clear, and realign your goals with the life you actually want to live.

In today’s episode of Call Her Creator (powered by Stan), I’m sitting down with the incredible Shannon Gillette. She’s a wife, boy mom, one of the top Realtors in Arizona, founder of The Gillette Group at Real Broker, and she’s been featured on HGTV. Oh, and she’s built an Instagram brand that’s closing real business with nearly 100,000 followers. But here’s what I love most: Shannon didn’t start with a platform. She started from scratch in 2015 with no money, no clients, and zero followers. Now she leads a top-producing team selling hundreds of homes a year, and she credits one thing more than anything else. Instagram stories. This is not a fluff conversation. Shannon breaks down the systems, decisions, and behind-the-scenes effort that helped her build a personal brand that converts attention into income. We talk about how she treats Instagram like a reality show (not a commercial), why she posts five stories a day, how she uses video hooks to stop the scroll, and how she creates content that attracts the right people instead of trying to appeal to everyone. If you’re a creator, entrepreneur, or service provider who wants to grow your audience and actually turn that growth into revenue, you’re going to love this one. -Follow Katelyn on instagram -Follow Shannon on instagram Thank you to my sponsors: Stan: Join the Dare to Post Challenge-a 30-day challenge designed to help Creators turn their dream into actual momentum.

In this episode of Call Her Creator, Katelyn Rhoades opens up about the weirdest season of growth she’s ever experienced — a season where nothing is “wrong,” but everything feels different. If you’re a high-achieving woman, entrepreneur, or creator who’s used to momentum, urgency, and hustle, this episode is for you. Katelyn shares what it feels like to be in the in-between phase before your next level — when you’ve outgrown old patterns, stopped chasing, and feel calmer than usual… even when that calm feels unfamiliar. Drawing from personal experiences with business growth, faith, health changes, and identity shifts, Katelyn explores why quieter seasons of growth are often the most transformative. She talks about losing urgency without losing ambition, trusting God when the next step isn’t clear, and learning to listen instead of force clarity. This episode is a reminder that leveling up doesn’t always feel exciting. Sometimes it feels slow, uncomfortable, and deeply internal — and that doesn’t mean you’re behind. It means you’re integrating. In this episode, you’ll hear about: What it means to be in the in-between before your next level Why growth can feel calm instead of chaotic Letting go of hustle and learning to trust the quiet Faith, discernment, and seasons of becoming How high-achieving women experience identity shifts before expansion If your life feels quieter, slower, or different right now — and you’re wondering what it all means — this conversation will help you feel seen, grounded, and confident that you’re exactly where you need to be.

Have you ever been misunderstood by someone who never asked for your side of the story? In this bonus episode of Call Her Creator, I’m unpacking a powerful mindset shift that changed how I approach conflict, boundaries, and emotional peace: never explain yourself to people who are committed to misunderstanding you. Over the last year, I’ve experienced two major misunderstandings that taught me a hard truth. When someone doesn’t ask questions, doesn’t want clarity, and avoids conversation altogether, it’s not confusion. It’s a decision. In this episode, we talk about: Why explaining yourself doesn’t always bring closure How to tell when someone is committed to misunderstanding you The emotional cost of over-explaining and self-abandonment When silence is actually the most powerful boundary How to let go without bitterness and move forward with clarity This conversation is for high-achieving women who are done over-explaining, done chasing validation, and ready to choose peace, discernment, and emotional maturity. If you’re navigating a misunderstanding, a relationship breakdown, or a season of letting go, this episode will help you trust yourself and stop auditioning for your own integrity.

Social media marketing in 2026 looks nothing like it used to. In this episode of Call Her Creator, Katelyn Rhoades breaks down The New Rules of Social Media Marketing: 2026 Edition and why raw, real, human content is officially outperforming polished, scripted, AI-generated perfection. This episode was inspired by a real moment. Katelyn posted a Reel, only to realize a HUGE mishap on camera. But instead of deleting it, she left it up. Because in 2026, imperfections do not disqualify you. They differentiate you. If you feel like perfectly edited content isn’t converting anymore, or you’re exhausted from trying to look professional, polished, or “on brand” at all times, this episode will change how you think about content creation. Inside this episode, you’ll learn: Why raw content beats polished content in 2026 The outdated social media rules that are quietly hurting your growth Why humans now outperform AI on social platforms How imperfection builds trust faster than perfection ever could Why being recognizable matters more than being aesthetic How personality has officially become the new niche Why speed beats production when it comes to growth How to use your real life as your best content strategy What actually builds trust in the unpolished middle How to stand out online without trying to look impressive This episode is for creators, entrepreneurs, business owners, and marketers who want to grow on Instagram and social media in 2026 without sounding scripted, looking perfect, or turning themselves into a robot. If you’re ready to stop overthinking, stop re-recording, and start showing up as yourself, this episode will help you rethink everything you’ve been told about social media marketing. And if you want support building a strategy that actually converts without forcing trends or perfection, Katelyn shares how to join Social Media School at the end of the episode. 🎧 Listen now and learn why connection beats polish.

Welcome back to The Weekly Scroll. In this episode, we’re breaking down the most important social media updates from the past week and what they actually mean for creators, business owners, and brands building on Instagram and Threads. This week brought confusion, security concerns, and a wave of new features being quietly tested across Meta platforms. Instead of panic headlines or surface-level updates, this episode focuses on what’s real, what’s noise, and how these changes connect to a much bigger shift in how social platforms want us to show up online. In this episode, we cover: Why so many Instagram users received unexpected password reset emails and what Instagram says actually happened Conflicting reports around a potential data leak and why situations like this create prime conditions for phishing and scams The bigger lesson around digital hygiene for creators whose Instagram is tied to income, leads, or brand deals Instagram’s reported testing of a new “Top 5” Stories feature and what it signals about private sharing and exclusivity Why Instagram continues to push content away from public feeds and deeper into Stories, DMs, and smaller circles Threads testing Live Chat inside Communities and why Meta is prioritizing real-time conversation over passive engagement What this means for creators who teach, coach, or lead communities The content format quietly performing best on Instagram right now and why clarity and connection are outperforming trends This episode isn’t about fear or chasing every new feature. It’s about understanding the direction platforms are moving and adjusting your strategy accordingly. If Instagram or Threads play any role in your growth or income, this is one episode you don’t want to miss.

In this episode of Call Her Creator, I’m sharing five things I’m consciously letting go of in 2026 — not because they failed, but because they no longer fit the version of my life and business I’m stepping into. We’re talking about real alignment. Not the fluffy kind, the kind that comes from subtraction, boundaries, and honest reassessment. Inside this episode, I break down: Why forcing growth, content, and hustle isn’t working anymore How hustle quietly becomes identity if you don’t reassess it Why posting “just to stay consistent” can disconnect you from your audience How comparison disguises itself as research and pulls you off your own path Why saying yes out of fear costs more than saying no How letting go of past versions of yourself creates space for sustainable growth I also share how health challenges, leadership pressure, and scaling a business forced me to slow down — and what that revealed about alignment, energy, and direction moving forward. This is not a “do more” episode. It’s a recalibration. If you’re in a season of reinvention, burnout, or quiet questioning — this conversation will help you release what’s no longer serving you and step into 2026 with clarity instead of pressure. Plus, I’m sharing details about the DARE TO DREAM giveaway and my Free January Reset, created to help you start the year grounded, aligned, and intentional.

I walk you through: How I manage my time when everything feels urgent The systems and routines that help me avoid burnout as a solo creator How to reduce decision fatigue so you’re not mentally drained by noon What to do when isolation starts creeping in How to protect your work-life balance without sacrificing your goals This isn’t a hustle-hard episode. It’s an honest conversation about sustainability, boundaries, and building a creator business that supports your life instead of consuming it. You don’t need to do this alone, and you don’t need to burn yourself out to succeed. Listen in if you’re ready to work smarter, protect your energy, and keep showing up without losing yourself in the process.
