Social media in 2026 feels louder, more curated, and more exhausting than ever. If you’ve been wondering why your content isn’t landing the way it used to, this episode will help you reset with clarity.

On this guest episode of The Offer Mojo Show, Lori Young is joined by social media manager and Showit designer Madelyn Furlong to break down 5 things to stop doing on social media in 2026 and what to do instead. From the rise of obvious AI-generated captions to the pressure to post constantly, we talk about what’s actually building trust and connection now, and how to create content that feels more human and sustainable.

You’ll learn:

  • Why quality matters more than posting frequency (and how to simplify your content plan)
  • How to stop talking “at” your audience and create content that invites real engagement
  • Why chasing the algorithm backfires, and what to focus on instead
  • Simple ways to make reels more dynamic without complicated editing
  • Why waiting for a “less busy season” to fix your marketing keeps you stuck

If you’re ready to market with more alignment and less pressure, press play.
