  • 1 Easy B-Roll Reel: Girl to girl / Friend to Friend hook

    Have you seen this trend popping up? It’s been going for a while now, but seems to have become an evergreen one that is fab to try every now and again as a way to start your hook! The ‘Girl to Girl’ hook (although could absolutely be ‘Friend to Friend’ if you want to be more inclusive!) is all about speaking directly to your target customer like they are your friend, and dropping some life advice that they really need to hear, at a time when they need it.

    This is absolutely the type of content where people are likely to hit ‘repost’ or send to someone else who might need it, so it is great for Growth content. Although it is a trend that is having a bit of a moment right now, I can absolutely see this format continuing to work at any time. 

    It’s brilliant for Single Message Reels, but I have also seen it where you share more detailed advice. Take a look at some of these examples from other small businesses to show you what it’s all about:: 

    If you want to try this for yourself, here are some of my top tips for jumping on this trend:

    • Pick some B-Roll that is around 6-8 seconds long and use the text hook ‘Girl to Girl/Friend to Friend, and finish with some meaningful/inspirational words of advice

    • Make sure the B-Roll you choose has an interesting visual hook at the beginning to get people to stop mid-scroll! 

    • Think about your brand values as a whole and what advice you can offer that relates to them. For example, if you’re a craft business who encourages mindfulness as one of your core values, your advice could be about reminding people to stop and pause.

  • This is a good hook for making a pots about your values and your taking a stand

    The hidden cost of not feeding yourself breakfast every morning (the hormone edition)

    The hidden cost of masking your ADHD at work

    The hidden cost of staying in a job that’s secretly killing you.

    Example of this content in the wild https://www.instagram.com/p/DU5yWXQDFTI/?igsh=anlxOGNmY3BiNmI1‍ ‍

    A little tip: You want folks here to really see themselves in your content and you do that by calling out the symptoms that they are experiencing in the content. Try and think ‘what does day-to-day actually look like and feel like to the person experiencing this?” not just the surface level stuff. The more specific you are with the symptoms here, the better chance your content has of flying.

  • 2  Carousel dea: [Resourse/tool/plan] I’ve used to [desired goal]

    This hook format works so well because you are giving value to people, and you’re showing them the proof of why said tool/resource works.

    This is the PERFECT format of hook to include a CTA at the end getting people to comment a word so you can send them a link to said resource/tool/plan/your product or service. It also makes brilliant sales content for the grid because you are going to add some value first before you lead them to the CTA.

    Here’s everything you should include in your carousel, step-by-step, if you want to shout about the resource that has helped you the most! 

    Slide 1 - Use the text hook The [resource/tool/plan] I’ve used to [goal you’ve achieved]. Make sure you are clear on what it is you have used so people know what it is you’re going to talk about, and that the results you cite are tangible/quantifiable. For example…

    • (Dog trainer) The puppy routine I’ve used to help over 200 new dog parents have a calm, stress free transition into their new life as pet owners

    • (Wedding Supplier) The exact email template I’ve used to book 50 discovery calls this month.

    • (Handmade gifts) The craft fair strategy I’ve used to double my sales this year

    • (Any business) The exact steps I took to go from hating Instagram to actually enjoying showing up for my business

    Slide 2 - Go into a little more detail and talk about where you were BEFORE you started using said tool/resource. Any problems you were encountering or what life looked like without it.

    Slide 3 - Tell us about the transformation and top tip - be emotive. How has this improved your business/life? What differences has this tool made?

    Slide 4 - Show the proof. This could be client reviews, analytics screenshots, anything that will really hammer your point home. 

    Slide 5 - Reveal the product/resource. Is it something you created yourself, or that you were recommended by a friend? Tell us what it is!

    Slide 6 - Call to action! Get people to comment a word to get hold of the resource/product. If it is something you have created yourself as a lead magnet, get people to sign up to your newsletter first, to be given access to it. 

  • Really useful apps holding my life together as a 30 year old mum with adhd.

    Unsexy things I’ve bought for our kitchen recently that make life with toddlers so much easier.

    Unsexy things I’ve bought from Lidl this week that stop me raging as a perimenopausal gal.

    Example of this piece of content in the wild…

    https://www.instagram.com/p/DUnfUcKDu3v/?img_index=2&igsh=MTZxdmdndXozM3B2Yw==

    A little tip: Try and make this as practical as you can. This would also work really well as a talking head reel and showing the different items or resources that have helped you. This helps your account to truly come across as the no-gatekeeping space that followers can keep coming back to.

    Turn this into an Instagram story.

    First slide: Connect in with your audience. Share an image of something you’re doing / one of the thingd that you’ve mentioned above in action.

    Next slide: *Then: I literally need to share with you these ‘eg unsexy things that have made cleaning my kitchen so mcuh easier’ because XXX years ago I used to struggle so badly when i had to XXX.

    Subsequent slides: show the individual items or things, providing links where necessary.*

  • 5 years of menopause nutrition in 5 sentences.

    5 years of pottery making in 5 sentences.

    5 years of baby sleep surviving in 5 sentences.

    Example of this content in the wild:

    https://www.instagram.com/reel/DU0E7RDjf6X/?igsh=OXB6MXY0cnFyeDI=

    A little tip: It’s REALLY important when you’re doing this one that you’re following the format of the individual clips, not just having one clip with the hook on screen. The reason this works is that it increases watch time and we know that if we increase watch time, we also increase reach.

    How to film it →

    First clip → 3 seconds with the hook above on screen. Subsequent clip → 0.8 seconds with your first statement on screen.

    All subsequent clips doing the same.

    It’s a good idea to have different angles for the subsequent clips. I would just have a dig through your B-Roll folder and add in a different variety of them, trimming them each down to 0.8 seconds.

  • Unpopular advice I give to gals in their 30s to survive the menopause (even if they don’t want to hear it)

    Unpopular job hunting advice I give to new mums who find themselves hating work.

    Unpopular advice I give to women who feel frumpy and hate all their clothes.

    Example of this content in the wild:

    https://www.instagram.com/p/DUYcAGdCY0v/?igsh=MWp0eG5rcmlwaDduZw==

    A little tip: It’s totally your choice here whether you do this as a photo dump carousel, talking head or a b-roll reel. All of those would work. The key again here is that you truly make it no gatekeeping. In the caption, if you’re doing the b-roll style, I would simply list out the different pieces of advice that you’d give, with a CTA to follow.

  • Reel hook: Curious how many XXX are looking for XXX without realising I am right here

    One of my favourite types of hooks, it’s a ‘Find your people’ hook! Amazing for growth content, and really making sure that you are growing a community that aligns with you, your offers and your values. This one is super easy to adapt to any niche, too!

    The hook format is: Curious how many [ideal customers] are looking for [desired outcome or what you sell] without realising I’m right here?

    All you need to do is pop this hook over a B-Roll clip of yourself (5-8 seconds) - ideally one that shows a little bit about what you do, whether that is you making or showing off your product, working with a client or teaching a class - whatever your day-to-day looks like. The more eye-catching the B Roll the better!

    If you’re struggling to adapt the hook to your niche, here are some examples I’ve come up with for a few different niches which might help you:

    • (Hairdresser) Curious how many new mums are looking for low maintenance hair that still looks good without realising that I am right here?

    • (Nutritionist) Curious how many busy professionals are googling ‘easy meal prep plan’ without realising I am right here?

    • (Slow fashion) Curious how many girlies who are tired with overconsumption are looking for their new favourite ethically-made clothing brand without realising I am right here?

    • (Ceramicist) Curious how many people are drinking their morning coffee from a 7 year old secret santa mug they don’t even like without realising I am right here?

    • (Graphic Designer) Curious how many founders are feeling fed up with their tired looking branding without realising I am right here?

    Then use the caption to add in some more context and introduce yourself. These are great to mix in every now and again!

Nicolette Reichl

Somatic Voice, Visibility & Vitality Coach

@createwithnicolette

I am the founder of Algorithm Magic really because I NEED it. Raging ADHD over here and body doubling in coworking spaces has been the way for me to get things done.

Born South African; moved to Germany when I was 12 and studied in Egypt for 3 years when I was 18-21. It was in Egypt that I witnessed refugees doing somatic voice and therapeutic theatre that I knew what I wanted to do with my life.

Dropped out of university, took two years to work and save and left for the States to work with my mentor Kristin Linklater. Did Linklater Voice for 10 years intensely and then moved to France.

I randomly went to a church in a cave up a mountain people kept telling me about. It ended up being Sainte Baume a cave that would change my life. Have since offered Mary Magdalene pilgrimages to this very cave where we do deep somatic voice and sexulality liberation. Wrote about it in a book available. DM me.

I have met hundreds of healers over the years that, like me, know they need to be on Instagram but just dont wanna.. for what ever reason it feels like a drag; massivley activates our witch wound and we lay awake all night fretting about what our cousins’s and exes will think and any numerous other ways we tell ourselves not to do it.

I do not believe socials is the only way to get clients but its one way and if we are doing it, lets do it all the way!!!!!

Viola la Spina

Tea ceremonialist, Intimacy & Burnout Coach

@viola_la_spina

After a decade of teaching yoga and running two studios in Melbourne while raising two young children I met my edge.

Burnout became an initiation, calling me back to presence and truth. My family and I uprooted our lives and returned to my Scandinavian roots toward a quieter, true north.

In a long-term partnership of over twenty years, I have lived the realities of love through seasons of growth, distance, devotion, and renewal experience that deeply informs my work.

Deeply inspired by the ritual of tea, the art of sitting in stillness, regulating the nervous system, and meeting another without distraction, I bring a rare steadiness to the spaces I hold.

Today, I guide individuals and couples back to emotional safety, deep connection, and renewed desire.

Through my women’s journey Rebirth, I support women in restoring vitality and self-trust.

Through private work with couples, I help partners rebuild trust, deepen communication, and rekindle intimacy.

I am also the host of Tea Talks with Viola, where conversations around love and conscious relationship unfold slowly and honestly like tea shared in quiet presence.

For me, intimacy begins with safety and safety begins with presence.

I’m Sarah Ojamae, a Tantric Sex, Love, and Relationship Coach and Intimacy Astrologer who offers support intimately attuned to your body and birth chart.

My intention is to offer coaching that makes tantra feel truly embracing for any, for all, humans, especially those for whom exploring our gorgeous lineage may not feel very safe or very comfortable because they so little see themselves represented in teachers, in photos, in the language used to facilitate—I want to make tantra a beautiful experience for anyone of any body shape or size, sexuality, gender identity or expression, relationship dynamic or status…

Alice Roder

Hey lovelies I’m Alice, I do holistic bodywork and touch process work using methods like myofascial release, dearmouring, and structural movement. @apearlontheroad

I’m from England and growth was quite clear in my work until a year ago when I moved to Estonia for love and then broke my elbow & pubic bone in a bad bike accident. A redirection gift on my 30th birthday.

So much change happened it crumbled my nervous system resilience and the call into somatic education was clear.

So now, I’m integrating somatic coaching into my work with touch wanting to guide somatic self touch sessions with clients online and develop my community to invite people on retreat with us from all over the world.

This, of course requires the internet and there’s been a massive conflict for me about this as my lifestyle becomes more nature oriented. It also calls forward an education piece for many of my friends and clients new to somatics. As bodywork online is not such a simple sell.

So Instagram is calling me to a more devotional return. (I worked in marketing and charity fundraising for most of my twenties) I can’t wait to work on this with you all

Emotions and Sexuality Coach (VITA™️ Certified)

I guide women to reconnect with their bodies and pleasure through somatic, Tantric, and Taoist tools—including breathwork, jade egg, and deep subconscious exploration.

Lisa Candrian

I’m Lisa Humeres Candrian, a Switzerland-based Somatic Sex, Love & Relationship Coach for women and couples.

I support women who appear conscious and capable yet struggle with self-doubt, emotional triggers, intimacy blocks, or patterns of over-functioning and people-pleasing.

With couples, I work when they want to feel more deeply connected,

when sexuality feels misaligned or blocked,

when communication stalls,

when triggers take over,

even though love is still there.

My work is trauma-informed and body-led, integrating emotional bodywork, Tao-Tantric approaches and modern neuroscience, embodiment, and parts work such as inner child work.

I’ve been holding immersive retreats consistently for the past five years, alongside long-term 1:1 online and in person containers and intimate group spaces. (Groups mostly in person and wanting to transition more to online offers.)

Now, why I’m here.

I have ADHD, which means I generate a lot of ideas. And I experience such powerful client breakthroughs regularly I‘m still so amazed by the work, but I often struggle on how to bring those feedbacks & transformations into consistent content.

I’m trying to narrow down my niche further, and I notice I struggle quite a lot with that.

My work is centered around creating multi-sensory, multi-dimensional ceremonial spaces for deep transformation, personal healing, and community-held magic.

I’ve been creating and holding ceremonial containers for over twenty years, weaving together ritual, sound and song, vocal embodiment, creative expression, grief tending, Earth-based wisdom, shamanic journeywork, and sacred psychedelic medicine. ✨🍄🎶

I’m the creatrix of my main soul-aligned offering The Cauldron: You Are the Medicine — a year-long psychedelic initiation through the elements for personal healing, spiritual expansion and community-held transformation! I just opened enrollment for our third year! Feel free to check it out: https://www.fireinthebellyalchemy.com/the-cauldron-you-are-the-medicine

Alongside that, I facilitate seasonal community ceremonies, Hekate guided grief containers, and one-on-one medicine work and integration.

I’m a Leo Sun, Gemini Moon, and Sag Rising…and a 6/3 Manifesting Generator (the role model martyr!) — which means I learn by doing, follow curiosity and inspiration, and lead from the fires I have walked through first! 🔥

I’ve started owning that my approach to life, Spirituality and business is rooted in Spiritual Maximalism! ✨🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜✨

I love bold color, depth, devotion, and creating spaces that feel beauty-filled, welcoming and deeply potent. My hope is always that people leave feeling deeply inspired, resourced, more aligned with self and spirit, and leave carrying something truly meaningful back into their everyday lives. ✨

I’m really grateful to be here and excited to connect, collaborate, and learn alongside you all. This container feels like such a beautiful answer to a prayer! 💫🥰🙏

Sabine Andree

Hello everyone,

Greetings from magical Bali, the island I’ve been calling home for almost 8 years. I’m originally from Germany, where I studied psychology, but then with the beginning of my Saturn return 🪐 my whole life got put upside down and I got redirected to approach healing from more of a holistic and spiritual angle ✨

I’m mainly an energy healer, and also trained in somatic trauma therapy, yoga teacher, meditation teacher, breath coach, women’s circle facilitator and a few other beautiful modalities.

I’m really passionate about empowering others to heal themselves and step back into their own power. I’m currently transitioning more into a teacher role, and potentially less facilitating. I do a lot of in-person events in Bali, but want to grow the online side of my biz, hence I’m here.

I’m still finding and defining my messaging and marketing, learn how to talk to the right people.

Personally, I’ve been diving deeply into tantra for over a year now and going on a training next week, which I’m super stoked about!

My Instagram is @sacred.holistic.healing and I’m very excited to connect and support each other here and get to discover the magic you share with the world ✨🤍✨

Maria Meander

I'm from Austria, I live with my partner and our cat 40km south of Vienna in a house with a huge garden where we grow our own vegetables.

I'm a biologist at heart, forever fascinated with nature and life. I've been studying the Grinberg Method for 2 years (one more to go), which is a form of holistic bodywork and at the center of it it's about pattern recognition and training your body attention to being able to stop limiting patterns.

From the beginning of my education I've been working 1:1 with clients. My dream is to be able to support myself fully with this work and I'm now building my business from the ground. so I'm a baby business owner, trying my steps, finding my messaging... I was ready to throw the towel on Socials many times. So, i'm curious how this will go 😄

Looking forward to getting to know you all and make some magic! 💖✨Maria instagram.com/maria_meander
