22/1/2026 | 22 mins.
Welcome back to The Weekly Scroll from Call Her Creator, the podcast episode where you don’t have to live on social media to understand what’s actually changing. This week, we’re breaking down the new rules of Instagram and social media marketing in 2026, including a major shift in how Meta is improving Reels recommendations, why emotion and relevance matter more than passive engagement, and what creators should do to stay visible as AI-generated content becomes more common.

You’ll also hear the latest updates to Instagram’s Edits app, including how creators can use new in-app tools to keep viewers on their profile longer, plus the rollout of Instagram’s new Algorithm Control feature and what it means for content clarity, niche signals, and consistent themes.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

What Instagram is prioritizing right now and why “pretty” content is not enough

How to make your Reels more recognizable, relevant, and bingeable

The strategy shift creators need to make if they want growth that converts

The Weekly Scroll is brought to you by Club Enfluence, my monthly membership with weekly viral Reels ideas, prompts, and Canva templates so you can post consistently without chasing trends.

BONUS: Never Explain Yourself to People Committed to Misunderstanding You
21/1/2026 | 9 mins.
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.

119. The New Rules of Social Media Marketing in 2026: 10 Shifts You Need to Make
20/1/2026 | 38 mins.
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.

118. The Weekly Scroll: Instagram’s Quiet Shifts Changing Growth in 2026 (Most Creators Haven’t Noticed Yet)
15/1/2026 | 23 mins.
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.

117. Forcing It Isn’t Working Anymore: 5 Things I’m Letting Go of in 2026 to Create Alignment in Business & Life
13/1/2026 | 32 mins.
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.
