We live in a world that glorifies the hustle and makes you feel guilty if you're not being productive enough. Everyone promotes hard work, reaching your goals, turning side hustled into your main business - but not a lot of those people mention the side effects and toll this hustler lifestyle can have on your health, your mental and emotional state. Today, we talk about Burnout, the reasons, the early signs and how to recover from it. We dive into this topic, with the talented photographer and educator - Nicole Ashley.

Have you ever taken a personality test? Did you find that helpful or restrictive?

In today’s episode we are talking to the delightful Ellie McKinney, a wedding photographer and educator from North Carolina. Ellie implements the Enneagram personality test into her coaching for photographers and of course, into her own business and life.

Knowing your Enneagram number doesn’t have to be a tight box that you have to adhere to: instead it can be a tool you can use to better understand yourself, how your clients perceive you and what the best workflow for your own business is.

We are going international! This is the first non-english episode of the FloInsider. Sorry to anyone who doesn’t speak German, but for everyone who does, this episode will make you very happy!

Wir präsentieren euch heute die allererste deutsche Folge von Floinsider: mit der wunderbaren Leonie Cappello, Fotografin und Webdesignerin.

Hast du dich schon mal gefragt wie du authentischere Bilder erschaffen kannst? Was braucht es um eine echte Verbindung herzustellen , die man auch in Bildern sehen kann? Und warum ist diese ganze Gerede um Authentizität so wichtig?

Authentische Fotografie, authentische Marke - was bedeutet das? Leonie erzählt uns davon wie sie das in ihrem Business umsetzt:

in ihren mittlerweile bekannten und beliebten ‘Steam sessions’ geht es, wie der Name schon sagt, heiss her: Leonie porträtiert Paare ganz intim, beim Kuscheln, Küssen und völlig hüllenlos. Was für viele ins Schlafzimmer gehört, möchte Leonie normalisieren und so echt wie möglich darstellen.

Hier kannst du mehr über Leonie herausfinden: www.leoniecappello.com und ihr natürlich hier folgen: www.instagram.com/leoniecappello
