Say It With Your Chest

In this podcast episode of Say It With Your Chest (SIWYC) , Tamara Meyer breaks down 7 Instagram hacks that actually work in 2026 and explains what service-based entrepreneurs need to focus on if they want more visibility, engagement, trust and conversions.

Tamara shares why your Instagram feed should act as your shopfront while your Stories create the connection that turns followers into potential clients. She also explains why chasing the “perfect” posting time can hold you back, how engaging before and after posting strengthens your content strategy, and why she believes Trial Reels deserve more attention than Instagram Lives. You’ll also hear the difference between polished talking-head content and more spontaneous “yap” content, how to use short-form B-roll without losing your originality, and why visibility without authority isn’t enough to build a strong personal brand . If you’re a female entrepreneur, coach, fitness professional, personal trainer or service-based business owner looking to improve your Instagram marketing, content creation and personal brand, this episode is packed with practical ideas you can start testing. Tamara Meyer brings her experience in business coaching, branding, marketing and coaching for service-based entrepreneurs to help you find your voice, build authority and become known for what you do best.

Dave Hughes Gets Candid on Australian Politics, Tax, Business & Life | SIWYC Ep. 167 This podcast episode of Say It With Your Chest with Tamara Meyer welcomes Australian comedian Dave Hughes for a raw conversation about Australian politics, government spending, tax, small business, financial freedom, comedy, family and finding the confidence to use your voice. Dave opens up about why he has become increasingly vocal about Australian politics and shares his personal views on government spending, taxation, transparency and the pressure facing everyday Australians and small business owners. But this conversation goes far beyond politics. Dave reflects on growing up in a working-class family, learning to save money, building financial independence and developing the work ethic that helped shape his career across stand-up comedy, radio and television. He also speaks candidly about ADHD, ego, failure and what he has learnt from decades of performing in the public eye. Tamara and Dave explore what happens when you stop worrying about how other people perceive you and start speaking honestly about what you believe. From dealing with criticism online to letting go of the need to appear successful, this episode is a conversation about authenticity, resilience and owning your voice. For entrepreneurs, business owners and anyone navigating uncertainty, Dave also shares his perspective on staying grounded, taking pressure off yourself and remembering that success is about far more than money.

Episode 165: 🎙️ Why 'I'm Still Healing' Is Killing Your Business | Say It With Your Chest with Tamara Meyer You don't need more healing. You need a backbone, a wake-up call, and a plan. I said it — and I'm not taking it back.This one's spicy and I'm not sorry. We went from toxic positivity to toxic "healing culture" in about five years flat, and now every female entrepreneur I know is stuck in the same loop: I'm just healing, I need more time, I can't show up yet. Meanwhile the business isn't building, the content isn't posting, and the excuse just keeps rotating.I'm not dismissing real struggle — I'm the queen of avoidance, I've had the darkest periods of my life this year and I'll say it on camera. But there's a difference between processing something and hiding behind it forever. If you've been "healing" for three years and nothing's moved — not your online business, not your sales, not your content strategy, not your personal brand — that's not healing. That's stalling.In this episode I break down the three things that actually shift you from stuck to moving: owning exactly where you're at (no spin, no filter), communicating it to the people who actually need to know (this is huge if you're scaling a service business and your team or clients are wondering why you've gone quiet), and being prepared for the fallout when you finally say the honest thing out loud. Some people will show up. Some won't. That's information, not failure.This is money mindset, business podcast, and mental health all crashing into each other in one conversation — because that's real life when you're trying to build an empire and stay a whole person at the same time.If you're a coach, a founder, or just someone who's been hiding behind "I'm healing" for way too long — this one's for you.Tam x👍 LIKE if this hit a nerve🔔 SUBSCRIBE for new episodes — we say the thing everyone's thinking💬 COMMENT: what landed for you?↗️ SHARE this with the woman in business who needs to hear it#SayItWithYourChest #womeninbusiness #businesspodcast
