It’s that time again – if the start of a new season always makes you want to give your Instagram feed a little refresh, then this is for you.
September feels like the perfect moment to swap out the endless summer scrolls for something that inspires, uplifts and feels a bit more in tune with cosy evenings, new routines and autumn energy.
Whether you’re looking for motivation to move your body, a laugh about office life, recipes that actually spark joy, or just a calmer corner of the internet, we’ve rounded up some brilliant accounts to follow this month.
Natalee Barnett
Natalee Barnett is creating gains for women in fitness. At just 26, she has opened The Girls Spot, a women-only gym in London that focuses on safety and empowerment (oh, and it’s almost completely pink). Her Instagram takes you behind the scenes as she builds this space from the ground up (literally). With over 30,000 women on the waitlist, it’s clear she’s onto something. If you like strength with a side of sisterhood, Natalee’s your girl.
Fellisia
Fellisia’s account is what happens when soft productivity meets radical honesty. Diagnosed with ADHD in her 30s, she’s on a mission to unpick the stigma, especially for Black and Brown women who’ve been masking for decades. Her posts are like a breath of fresh air for anyone tired of the hustle narrative. Follow for tips on working with your brain (not against it), permission to rest, and a gentle reminder that you’re not alone. Basically, it’s the ADHD support space we all wish we’d had sooner.
Remi Idowu
With roots in West African cuisine and a flair for creative baking, Remi Idowu’s recipes are full of warmth, flavour and soul. Whether she’s whipping up a twist on a classic or breaking down a bake step-by-step, Remi makes cooking feel joyful (and achievable). Her cookbook, Sugar & Spice, is packed with hearty meals and sweet treats that hit the spot. Come for the cinnamon rolls, stay for the vibes—and maybe finally figure out how to make dinner that doesn’t feel like a chore.
Roxy Couse
Roxy Couse is everyone’s favourite corporate millennial—iced latte in hand and existential dread on speed dial. Roxy hilariously nails the awkwardness of office life, from dress-down Friday anxiety to painfully polite performance reviews. But it’s not all laughs; Roxy also serves up genuine advice about life beyond the office: comparison culture, failing forward, and what success really means. If you’ve ever mentally quit your job during a Teams call, this is the account for you.
Kennedy
Kennedy proves that gaming can be soft, slow and soothing. @cozy.games is a wholesome corner of the internet where Stardew Valley reigns and relaxation is non-negotiable. From plant-sprinkled villages to stress-free quests, she shares non-violent games that feel more like a warm hug than a boss battle. You’ll also find gentle musings on painting, gardening and welcoming downtime. It’s the perfect feed if you love your entertainment with a side of serotonin.
The Renaissance Collective
The Renaissance Collective is for women who resist being boxed in. Founded by Adama Lorna – a self-described “modern Renaissance woman” – this account is a haven for multi-passionate creatives. Expect a smart mix of affirmations, practical advice and mindset tips, all designed to help you thrive when your to-do list looks more like a vision board. Bonus: Adama hosts London-based events, so you can connect with fellow polymaths IRL. If you’re tired of being told to “niche down,” this one’s for you.
