Welcome back to The Social Circle and happy 2026!

In this episode, Candace and Jennifer break down what’s actually changing in content this year and what creators need to stop doing if they want to grow.

We’re talking:

Why micro dramas are running social media

What “YOU are the niche” really means (and why it matters more than ever)

How storytelling, POV, and emotional hooks drive retentionWhy content is shifting from “helpful” to felt

How to audit old posts and turn them into stronger, higher-performing content

Why testing, trimming, and rewriting hooks beats posting more

If content feels harder right now, it’s not you...the bar has moved.

This episode is for creators who want to build trust, connection, and growth without sounding like everyone else on the internet.
