This week’s episode has a special place in my heart and, warning: there will be tears!  

I’m reflecting on my journey from being a burnt-out and overworked photographer, to now shooting 32 weddings this year, working part-time hours, all while being a new mom and still making my full-time dream income... 

And most importantly, I’m going to show you how this is possible for you too!
