September Reset: Instagram Survival Guide for Freelancers September is a natural reset moment - that back-to-school feeling. It’s the perfect time to check in on your Instagram and make sure it’s working for you, not against you.

In this session, we will share the latest updates you need to know in 2025, plus a practical housekeeping checklist to refresh your profile and grid. You’ll leave with 3–5 simple actions you can take immediatly to feel more confident, attract the right clients, and make Instagram a stronger tool for your freelance business.
