Capture What Matters

On the Recapture Self podcast it's our intention to give you a peek at the lives of people who are balancing daily life, parenthood, and a commitment to their creative selves. These are people who are making time and space for their passion projects whether that be writing a book, designing a blog, photographing their family, or running a business.

This week I'm chatting with Tiffiney Lozano.

Tiffiney Lozano is a writer, mama, diehard mountain girl, lover of adventure, and a believer in possibilities. In her former life, she a marketing and public relations professional for a string of great organizations including Whole Foods Market, the PlumpJack Group, and the California Community College system.

Now a creative entrepreneur, she runs a boutique video production business with her husband in Northern California and offers playful workshops for women seeking to reconnect with themselves, their creativity and the world around them. She shares her journey to live more from her heART, and less from her head, in hopes it gives others permission to do the same.

She hosts a free community called the heART and Soul Cafe, which offers fun creative invitations for your daily practice, and celebrates the idea that we are both the artist and the masterpiece of our lives. You can find her online at www.wildchildtravels.com or www.tiffineylozano.com.

This week I'm chatting with Nick and Katherine North.

Katherine was a cynic who didn't even believe in true love...until she accidentally fell in love at almost 40-years-old with her best friend, Nick.

But when they fell in love, he wasn't "Nick"... he was "Nikki." And, Nikki was pregnant with baby #4!

Assigned female at birth, Nick always knew deep down he was a man trapped in a woman's body. A stay-at-home pregnant mom and family photographer who didn't think life could ever be any different, he was stuck in a life that should have made him happy but wasn't his own.

Together, they navigated Nick's transition from female to male as a couple and as parents and as business owners.

They negotiated the challenges of transitioning while blending a family and keeping their businesses afloat. They continue maneuvering through marriage, parenting five kids, nontraditional gender roles (who pays the bills and does the dishes?,) and so much more.

With true stories, embarrassing anecdotes, and practical advice, Nick and Katherine show their audience and clients how to start taking brave steps in their own lives, wherever they are starting.

Nick and Katherine recently received a grant from Storyhive to create a documentary film about their family called "Just Another Beautiful Family" and are developing the "Beautiful Families" project which will include a conference, podcast, and supportive online community for all sorts of nontraditional families. They have appeared on numerous stages and media outlets.

This week I'm chatting with Natalie Allgyer.

Natalie Allgyer is a photo artist, with a fiercely creative soul who uses a camera and photoshop to display a wide array of feeling and emotion. She learned her craft on her own and continues to hone it weekly.

Born in NJ she and her husband chose Charleston, SC as the place for them to raise their daughter. It was in Charleston that Natalie found her soul, and the creativity began to flow thru the lens of her camera. At one point she decided that reality wasn't conveying her message as deeply as she felt it so she took to photoshop. That is where the magic began.

Natalie's whimsical style incorporates pieces of her own images that she makes with her dslr camera. It can take an upward of 20 images to create one of her works. She enjoys using elements of nature and the world around her in her art. Her carefully curated color choices in combination with painstakingly thoughtful lighting, contrast, and texture lends itself to her empathic vibe and painterly feel.

Each of Natalie pieces are available as limited edition prints only. Once they run out that is it. There will be no more creations of that particular piece. Each print is printed on archival velvet paper, signed and numbered by Natalie herself, and each comes with a certificate of authenticity.

Natalie's mission is to show you the world thru her eyes while also conveying feelings and vibes that just about each and every one of us could relate to in some way. Cheers and enjoy!
