If keeping up with Instagram has started to feel like a second job with a terrible ROI, this episode is your permission slip to do things differently!

Graphic designer and brand strategist Deanna Seymour joins us to share the strategy she's been using since 2021: turning your Instagram profile into a static 9-grid "mini website" that works for you around the clock—no regular posting required.

Whether you're ready to step back from social entirely or just want to show up less without missing out on clients, this conversation is packed with practical ideas you can implement right away. Deanna also pulls back the curtain on how she's grown her own business through podcast pitching, collaborations, and community.
