Honing Social Coaching
Meet your Coach
Hi there – my name is Montana, founder of Honing Social! You may know me as the creator and face behind Honing Home, where I share everything from DIY tips, thrifting advice, and all things home! I left my corporate job in March of 2021 after realizing content creation was calling my name to go full time. Although a scary leap, it’s been the best I’ve ever made.
With a corporate background of sales and management, I’ve been able to approach social media with a business mindset and turn a hobby into income. Becoming a social media marketer is a journey! I’ll share what I’ve learned along the way, the mistakes I’ve made, and tips to run your account like a business.
So if you’re feeling overwhelmed on Instagram, and want help taking your account to the next level..keep scrolling and lets get your next session or audit scheduled!

Client Reviews
“I had my first one-on-one coaching session with Montana a few weeks ago and words cannot fully express how helpful and motivating it was! The reality of diving into becoming an influencer can be a very intimidating thing. There is so much to learn, so much you don’t understand, and honestly it feels like there is no one to go to for all your questions. Talking with Montana felt like chatting with a close friend that was an encyclopedia of knowledge!
She answered all of the questions that have been weighing on me. From how to create a media kit, what to charge brands, or even how to collaborate with brands in the first place. One week after our call I got my first paid collaboration with the advice Montana gave me! I still have so much more to learn but it’s comforting knowing all the answers to my questions are just a coaching session away. I would definitely recommend this for anyone who is new or considering to start becoming a content creator.”

“I recently had a one-on-one coaching session with Montana and can’t recommend it enough! After signing up for a reel review, I realized there were so many additional questions I wanted to ask. Being a newer account, I’m working on growing and learning, so chatting with someone who’s been doing this for a while was so helpful. We chatted about content pillars, growth, and Instagram stories. She was extremely supportive and encouraging during our session and was able to answer all my questions and more! I’ve found that there is a ton of contradicting advice out there so being able to chat with Montana directly and receive customized feedback was invaluable.“
