What is Happening on Social Media?

Hello Reader,

2025 Sprout Social Index: What Coaches Need to Know

Social media these days is basically that friend who barges into your house uninvited, eats all your snacks, monopolizes your time — and then ghosts when it’s time to clean up.

But the 2025 Sprout Social Index? That report just dropped a big ol’ truth bomb on how we’re all using (and misusing) social right now — and I couldn’t stop scribbling notes.

So if you’re a coach trying to stand out without dancing awkwardly on Reels or feeling like you’re yelling into the void… this is for you.

Let’s decode the insights and turn them into an actual plan — one that feels like you and works for you. Especially if you’re trying to build a brand that connects and converts without selling your soul to the algorithm gods.


Insight #1: Salesy Is Out. Social Is Actually Social.

Let’s be honest: no one logs into Instagram hoping to get pitched. People are there for vibes, for connection, and yes, to feel seen.

Sprout Says:

93% of consumers think brands need to stay in tune with culture. But being in tune ≠ jumping on every trend.

Coach Moves:

  • Share stories and values — not just offers.
  • Show the why behind your work.
  • Be a person first, a business second.

Insight #2: Polished ≠ Powerful. Relatable Wins.

If you’ve got half-finished carousels chilling in your drafts because they’re not “perfect” — this one’s for you.

Sprout Says:

Relatability beats polish. Always.

Coach Moves:

  • Post that behind-the-scenes mess.
  • Talk about the ugly-cry mid-launch, not just the shiny testimonials.
  • If Canva is draining you, pause. A 15-second “thinking of you” video can do more than a quote square ever will.

Insight #3: Engagement > Volume

Repeat after me: You are not a content machine. You’re a coach. The algorithm is shifting to reward connection, not content for content’s sake.

Sprout Says:

Relationship > Reach. Brands that respond = brands that win.

Coach Moves:

  • Block time to respond to comments and DMs.
  • Use those convos like mini-coaching moments.
  • Ask questions. Use polls and Stories to listen before you create.

Insight #4: Trends Are Optional. Context Is Non-Negotiable.

Here’s your permission slip: you do not have to hop on every trend. You’re not a meme account. You’re building a brand with purpose.

Sprout Says:

Only 27% of consumers think trend-hopping is effective and only for the first 48 hours.

Coach Moves:

  • Be aware of trends, but not ruled by them.
  • Only remix trends that actually fit your message.
  • If it’s already 3 days old and stressing you out, let it go.

Final Thought: Show Up Like a Human, Not a Headline

If you’ve been burned out trying to keep up with algorithms, trends, and aesthetics, here’s your sign to stop.

Your dream clients aren’t looking for perfect. They’re looking for someone who gets them. Who speaks their language. Who shows up instead of just showing off.
