DANGEROUSLY GOOD STORIES

Under 24 hours after publishing the last episode, one listener (and episode 79 guest + friend of mine), Caryn DeFreez sent me an audio message. 

She reached out to ME, so she spoke just like any other time talking with a friend: unguarded & being her unfiltered self.

And guess what?

THAT is this episode—with her permission, obviously. 

She said she needed the episode... well, I needed her response. I think you'll feel this one too.

Caryn DeFreez is a wife, homeschooling mom, and has a big love for documenting stories.

Caryn shares:

• her walk through depression and how it awakened her to notice people and stories worth documenting.
• what was difficult in her business when it came to documentary clients and one, quiet strategy she planned to use to help educate her community on documentary photography (I think it's brilliant!)
• and the family story behind creating Firekeepers Memories

This is an oldie, but a goodie. We’re replaying the very FIRST episode on Intentional Documentary. 

Why? It’s just a good time of year to revisit this one. It was written for photographers, but anyone can benefit from these 8 little exercise to gain clarity on what matters most. If you’ve done this before, well, you’re in a new season now and it might be time to do them again or try a different exercise.

Enjoy the story.

Aubrey Vejvoda is a former marketing student turned HypnoCoach. She quit her photography business and today she’s on the frontlines trying to help make hypnosis mainstream. 

We talk about: 

• Her journey through postpartum depression and the shame & guilt inside *not* feeling fulfilled as a stay at home mom
• She talks about how her deeper message for other women & moms became something she needed share beyond photography as well as the red flags that led her out of photography
• And the last part of the show, Aubrey gives us the overview of what hypnosis is, how it’s different than meditation and… get this…. she even walks us through a short hypnosis for relaxation at the end. So just a heads up: you cannot be driving for this portion. You’ll want to sit down, close your eyes and let Aubrey guide you.

Jessica Hachey is a photographer based in Ontario, Canada. I’ve admired how she prioritizes her love for nature and even records herself getting out into the wild!

We talk about:

• Her brave adventures into the backcountry
• How her daughter starting school full time was much different than she thought it would be… as she found herself staring at the computer like, “what am I supposed to do now?” and various things she’s done to begin moving out of this heavy place she felt in. 
• Then, Jessica describes the losses of loved ones she’s walked through and how documenting has shifted through those losses starting from the inside out
• & more!

Enjoy the story.

This episode is totally a 2 for 1, because we go into two very different topics all in one episode. 

Alicia Bauer of AllyB Designs first gives us advice on 5 Ways to Improve the Client Experience Now. 

The second half is about the intersection of hustled weeks and extraordinary weekends. A lot of listeners with little kiddos are dying to have full day school hours to work on their business…. but is it all it’s cracked up to be? 

Enjoy the story.

This Story of the Month comes from photographer Ashley Manley who contributed this story on Fearless and Framed back in 2015. It was published almost 5 years ago and her words hold so much value still today!

It's called, Document People Around You, Not Just the Kids.

Enjoy the story.
