Overthinking your Instagram Stories? Or only showing up when you have something to sell? Let's fix that. In this episode of The Creative Bodega, I'm breaking down why Stories are hands-down the fastest way to build trust online—and why they don't need to be strategic, polished, or perfect to work. I'm sharing my exact approach to showing up Monday through Friday without a complicated plan, plus the story types that naturally build relationships, boost engagement, and lead to sales. If Stories feel like a chore or you're not sure what to post, this episode will make them feel so much lighter and easier.

Things I cover inside this episode:

  • Why Instagram Stories are the number one place people connect with me before buying—and how they build trust faster than almost anything else
  • The story buckets I return to over and over (behind-the-scenes, opinion stories, teaching moments, proof) without overthinking every post
  • My philosophy on engagement: keep it simple, easy, and natural (no weird obstacle courses or forced strategies)
  • Why I don't obsess over story views or analytics—and what I track instead to prove Stories don't need to be complicated
  • How showing up as a real human (not a polished brand) makes your audience feel like they actually know you
