  • 1.26 Imposter Syndrome

    Let’s be real… We have all be the victim of comparing ourselves to someone else. If it is on social media, in person, in business, or just in general. It can really suck and take a toll on our mental health. It can literally knock us out of our own business because we overthink things based on a false narrative.



    I am the prime example of this. I literally quit my business 3 times. Yes, THREE TIMES. Because I compared myself to some many others in the photography world and convinced myself that I wasn’t good enough. I gave up on my dreams, myself and my businesses for MONTHS because of the little voice in my head telling me that I wasn’t good enough.



    That crazy isn’t it? All because I let myself talk myself into believing I wasn’t good enough. That I was an imposter. I was not going to make. But guess what… I DID make it. I had to take that power back from MYSELF! That is insane for me to say! I had to take the power back from myself but I did. Once, I understood what Imposter Syndrome was and how to handle my feelings and what to do with my feels I was able to make sure that I was able to control how I was harness my feels and make sure that I was in control of the situations and I was in control of my business.

  • 1.24 Finding Your Niche

    It is super important to step back and look at the bigger picture here and remember to not muddle how people are looking at you and your business…



    This is what I mean. If you are shooting everything and anything, when someone looking for a wedding photographer goes to your IG feed and starts scrolling how long is it going to take before they find your first post of a wedding related photo? If it means more than scroll you’ve lost them. I can promise you that.



    When I start out with any program, and course, any mentorship session, the first thing I ask is “what niche are you shooting for?” 99.999% I get looked at like a deer in the headlights because the panic has set in and they are ready to bolt on me BUT hear me out. Listen to the rest of the episode and see if you still feel the same way!
