This year has been game-changing for my business in so many ways.

#4: Building a Personal Brand when you Don't Fit the Mold with Cinnamon Wolfe

#1: Best Practices for Instagram Stories

It's not a secret I spend a lot of time on Instagram - I love it! But in case you aren't on the app as much as I am, let's start from the beginning. What is an Instagram story? Simply put, they are stories that live for 24 hours and then go away. That is how they started, but things have changed and they have become much more. Ultimately, they give your people a little behind the scenes into what your life looks like. There are definitely some best practices when it comes to using Instagram stor...
