In This episode of The Kelly Roach Show, Kelly sits down with Natasha Willis, Co-Founder of School of Bots, to unpack what’s actually working on Instagram in 2026: from DM funnels and ManyChat optimizations to ad strategies, content formats, and backend systems that convert attention into revenue.
Natasha and her team have worked with industry leaders, helping generate over $97M in online growth. In this conversation, she breaks down how high-performing brands are replacing traditional funnels with conversation-driven conversions, why one-word CTAs still work, and how to optimize every step from content, to DM conversation, to the sale.
You’ll learn:
The simple ManyChat tweaks that can triple conversions
How to structure content and CTAs for non-followers
How to blend organic content with paid ads for scalable growth
The content formats that are winning in 2026
If you’re posting consistently but not seeing the ROI you want from social media, this episode will fundamentally change how you think about Instagram as a growth engine.

Inconsistency is one of the fastest ways to lose trust, credibility, and high-level opportunities.
In this episode of The Kelly Roach Show, Kelly breaks down how chronic overcommitment shows up in subtle but damaging ways - from “posting and ghosting” online to constantly moving meetings, showing up stressed, or being hot and cold in relationships.
These behaviors quietly signal disorganization, lack of boundaries, and unpredictability: all things that cause clients, collaborators, and partners to hesitate before investing their time, money, or reputation with you.
Kelly walks you through the five biggest signs you’re overcommitted, why high performers often mistake busyness for excellence, and how raising your personal standards around time, energy, and boundaries will directly elevate the quality of clients, relationships, and opportunities you attract in 2026.

Most entrepreneurs believe that if they just work harder, push longer, and sacrifice more, success will finally bring peace, happiness, and fulfillment.
But what if tying your happiness to your business success is the very thing preventing your business from growing?
In today’s episode of The Kelly Roach Show, Kelly breaks down the 3 B's that quietly derail entrepreneurs who emotionally attach their worth and happiness to business performance, and why learning to separate the two is essential for long term growth, health, and leadership.

This episode is a powerful reminder that your worth is not measured by revenue, and that becoming a resilient, four-season CEO is the key to building a sustainable business and a meaningful life.

Why being happy outside of business makes you a stronger CEO

In today’s episode, Kelly tears down one of the biggest myths in the online business world: that revenue is the ultimate marker of success.

In this powerful episode of The Kelly Roach Show, Kelly is joined by longtime industry leader, bestselling author, and money + nervous system expert Kate Northrup.
From early blogging days, to million-dollar digital courses, to her signature wealth transformation programs, Kate has been in the online space since 2009, witnessing firsthand how the industry has evolved through multiple eras and continuing to grow in spite of it.
Why?
Because she successfuly built the internal safety and capacity required to sustainably hold abundance.
In this conversation, Kelly and Kate explore:
Why strategy alone can’t solve money problems (and what actually does).
The nervous system “thermostat” that determines how much wealth, success, joy or opportunity you feel safe receiving.
How to expand your capacity for abundance without hustling harder, so you can stay in the game for decades
Living and working in a way that honors your family, your energy, and the bigger reason you’re here.
If you’ve ever:
Reached a goal and immediately felt unsafe, overwhelmed, or stressed…
Built success only to see it slip through your fingers…
Felt like “more” shouldn’t require sacrificing your peace, presence, or health…
Or wondered why doing everything “right” doesn’t always lead to more abundance…
