What if the pressure to “pick a niche” is actually the thing burning creatives out?
In this episode, McKenzie sits down with Leslie Kinross Wright — photographer with Sunshine and Savasana, hair & makeup artist, studio owner of Soleil House Denver, stylist, and mom — to talk about failure, fear, rebuilding, and why doing things scared is often a sign you’re doing something right.
This conversation dives into:
Starting over without letting failure define you
Why most people aren’t paying as much attention to you as you think
The hidden cost of people-pleasing and unpaid collaboration
Burnout, boundaries, and protecting your creative energy
How to tell when an opportunity aligns — and when it’s just draining you
If you’ve ever felt boxed in by the idea of a niche, overwhelmed by self-promotion, or unsure whether you’re allowed to want more than one creative lane, this episode will feel like a deep exhale.
