☀️August Dates for Your Diary
A couple of freebies PLUS Live sessions included in the Too Much Instagram membership this month (and a sneak peek at what's coming up in September)
Hello everyone - here’s the lowdown on what is coming up in August in the membership, plus what I’ve got planned for September.
As well as these live sessions, members have access to weekly advice check ins and more exclusive content such as post ideas, tutorials, and challenges hosted by me so you can get more out of your time on Instagram. To become a member, upgrade your subscription now!

I’ve started a podcast!!
If you're tired of playing the algorithm's game, especially during the summer holidays, but want to use Instagram to find readers for your work, this is the podcast for you. Listen for Instagram insights, practical tips, and encouraging pep talks, curated especially for writers and authors.
Episode one is about protecting your time while using Instagram, and this week’s episode is about tackling The Cringe.
Episodes will drop every Wednesday until the end of August - it’s a bit of an experiment, and I’m excited to see what happens, so find it wherever you get your podcasts and don’t forget to rate, review, and subscribe as it helps me find more listeners!
If you’re taking a break from Instagram over the summer, you might also be interested in the FREE Wake up Instagram Challenge.
The Challenge is a FREE week-long series of 10 min daily tasks to help you get back in front of your favourite people after you’ve been on a break.
Sign up with your email address below. The challenge starts on Monday 25th August 2025.
This month in the TMI membership 📲
Every Monday we talk about our plans
Where? In the WHAT ARE YOU POSTING? check in chat
Why? It’s an invitation to share what you’re going to post to your Instagram account that week. I’ll share mine, talk you through some of my decision-making, then open the floor up to you.
Come along…
💡to help you stay accountable to yourself. I know if I make public declarations of my intentions I’m much more likely to stick to the plan
💡to inspire one another. Pooling ideas will mean we create a bank of post ideas that you can add your own spin to, or that will spark some ideas of your own.
💡to get advice and encouragement. Have an idea but aren’t sure what kind of post it should be, how to write a hook, or how to find the right audio to go with it, come and ask me! If you’re stuck, I can suggest ways to get the wheels turning again.
*I’m taking annual leave w/c Monday 18th August so there will be no WHAT ARE YOU POSTING chat that week ❤️
🪄Content Create-alongs
🚨The CCAL call schedule is usually the first and third Tuesday of every month at 12-1pm BST but please note a change to this usual schedule as I’m on holiday w/c Monday 18th August 🛫
The CCAL dates for August are therefore:
Tuesday 5th August, 12-1pm GMT
Tuesday 26th August, 12-1pm GMT
Members: scroll down for the link to register and receive the links for the calls.
Thanks for your understanding with the changes to the usual schedule. Normal service will resume from September❤️
If you’re new here you might be wondering what Content Create-alongs are.
For many writers, Instagram posts fall to the bottom of the to-do list. CCAL sessions offer dedicated time to tackle them and get some posts ticked off your to-do list. We start with a quick check-in to set intentions (or you can simply dive straight in), then regroup at the end to review what we’ve achieved.
