    Storytelling for Normal People | The Social Circle | Ep 38

    You don’t need trauma, a glow-up, or a blue check to tell stories that actually land online. In this episode of The Social Circle, Candace and Jennifer break down how everyday creators can turn normal life into powerful content. Because storytelling isn’t about having a dramatic life, it’s about noticing meaning in the moments you’re already living. We cover: • Why “normal life” connects better than highlight reels• The simple Moment → Thought → Meaning framework• How to create curiosity gaps instead of over-explaining• Why relatability will outwork expertise every time• How to use transcripts (like in CapCut) to tighten your storytelling• Building confidence on camera through reps, not perfection If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t have anything interesting to say,” this episode is for you. You’re not boring. You’re just too close to your own life to see it clearly.

    Why Your Hooks Aren’t Working (And How to Fix Them) | The Social Circle | Ep 37

    Most hooks don’t fail because they’re bad, they fail because they’re trying too hard. In this episode of The Social Circle, Candace and Jennifer break down how to write hooks that actually work without sounding clickbaity, salesy, or fake. We talk about why most hooks miss the mark, how overthinking kills connection, and why honesty has become the real pattern interrupt on social media. We walk you through a practical Circle Hack where you’ll rewrite old hooks using simple, human frameworks like confessions, realizations, contrasts, and shared experiences. You’ll learn how to talk with your audience instead of at them, how to test hooks without spiraling over views, and why retention matters more than virality.

    The Algorithm Doesn’t Hate You - Your Content Is Just Losing People | The Social Circle | Ep 36

    Everybody loves to say “the algorithm hates me.” We’re here to lovingly call that out. In this episode of The Social Circle, we break down what the algorithm actually does (spoiler: it has zero emotions) and what platforms really reward in 2026: retention, watch time, saves, shares, reposts, and comment conversations. If your views drop, your content isn’t “shadow banned.” Most of the time, one of these things happened: your message was confusing your hook didn’t earn the next second the editing/lighting/audio distracted people you buried the point under fluff We’ll talk through why trends and hashtags won’t save boring content, how to use analytics to see where people drop off, and why “likes” are the most overrated metric on the internet. If you want your content pushed farther, stop chasing the algorithm and start chasing retention.

    Why Your Content Feels Invisible (Even When It’s Good); Awareness vs Trust vs Conversion | The Social Circle | Ep 35

    Ever feel like you put real effort into a post… and it still goes nowhere? In this episode of The Social Circle, we break down why “good content” can still feel invisible — and the real reason most creators get stuck: they’re asking one post to do three jobs. We’re talking: The 3 types of content you need: Awareness, Trust, and Conversion Why views don’t equal growth (and what to watch instead) What stage most creators are actually in (and why that’s normal) How to stop burning out from unrealistic expectations Circle Hack: Do a quick 6-second retention test before you post. Watch your video on mute and ask: Would I stop scrolling in the first 6 seconds? If not, rewrite the hook and simplify the message. If you want us to look at your account, drop “AUDIT” in the comments.
