They Got My Instagram Suspended (And Why I’m Taking Legal Action)

I wasn’t expecting to record another podcast episode so soon.

But I also wasn’t expecting my Instagram account to be suspended - right before my annual Courageous Planner pre-order week (the biggest sales week of my business year). And just weeks before my breast cancer surgery.

It’s the latest development in what I believe has become an ongoing ‘cancellation campaign’ led by two fellow business owners.

In this episode, I share what’s brought me to this point - and why I’ve decided enough is enough. Despite preparing for cancer treatment, I now intend to take legal action.

About the Podcast

Courageous
Honest conversations and smart strategy for rebuilding a bold life, brand, or business — even when speaking up comes at a cost. Hosted by Janet Murray.
This is not a cancer podcast.

It’s about what happens when your voice is threatened - by illness, by public shaming, by fear - and you decide to keep speaking anyway.

In 2025, I was diagnosed with breast cancer while navigating public cancellation for defending women’s sex-based rights. Now I’m documenting the rebuild: of my health, my business, and my voice - with honesty, strategy and as much courage as I can muster.
