Get a "Heck Yes" with Carissa Woo Wedding Photographer and Coach

Happy Woo Wednesdays : Today's hot topic is about finding inner love with microdosing.

Shauna would love to break the stigma of shrooms a bit! People are SCARED of taking them. She wants to spread the word about how healing and beautiful this medicine is. I'm her client and we have become very good friends.

Her company Magic Mama doesn't just offer products, it's the whole integration and healing package! You can't buy something from her and then never hear from her again (unless that's shat you want ) Shauna willbe there every step of the way supporting you!

Shauna is a mom in her healing era who swapped an overindulgence of alcohol and sugar, for a healthier obsession with plant medicine and breathwork. Her transformative journey led her to sharing what’s in her healing toolbox with other moms, and to the creation of her company, Magic Mama Microdosing.

Happy Woo Wednesdays. I have a new and interesting topic today : Human Design, have you heard of it? When you are living in alignment with your design, you become incredibly magnetic and attractive!

Madeline is the most magnetic person on social media, go check her out. https://instagram.com/healthy_madeline

Madeline Evergreen is a Human Design Reader and a Somatic Breathwork Practitioner. She started her career at the young age of 14 teaching group fitness and Pilates and eventually moved into nutrition coaching. Madeline has a unique perspective on life after experiencing severe health problems since birth. After struggling to find help with her health from any doctors or practitioners, she educated herself and took her healing into her own hands as a teenager. Changing her diet and addressing trauma and stress through breathwork, Madeline finally started to get healthy. It wasn’t until she learned human design that her health improved exponentially. By living her design and getting her mindset and life into alignment, she has stopped experiencing 95% of her health problems, is significantly happier, has tons of energy, and is much more successful in her work and relationships. You can learn more from Madeline on her popular podcast, The Beginner’s Guide to Human Design.

Hot Topics : Human Design for beginners!

-Focus on the most important parts of yoyr chart… energy type, strategy and authority

-Look up your family/friends charts

-Spend more time practicing and executing your design rather than learning more.

Today I have Natalie Jennings in the Get A HECK YES house. She's one of the coolest people I've ever met. After the conversation she gave me a taro reading and I was in tears, it was so amazing.Today we have a new and interesting topic, keep reading.

Natalie is a lifestyle photographer, podcaster, and intuitive coach based in Minneapolis, MN. She uses tools like tarot in her coaching to help clients cultivate a better relationship to their intuition, and ultimately make better decisions.

Hot Topic

Tarot as a tool for personal and business growth.

My aim is to destigmatize tarot's bad reputation by using a non-predictive approach that empowers the seeker. Tarot represents the spectrum of the human experience and can act a mirror when we're going through something challenging or need additional insight.

She got married this past weekend and she is the most beautiful bride!

My Hot topic, Being a wedding vendor and becoming a Bride and seeing it from the other side, what I would have done differently

Happy Woo Wednesdays! You have to know your numbers if you want to run a profitable business. Let's chat about it with my friend Cara from Peach Sky Book Keeping.

Meet Cara - I'm a mama of 2, wifey, and owner of Peach Sky Bookkeeping. Chasing beautiful beach sunsets in Southern CA with my kiddos and helping our female business owners feel empowered through their finances will ALWAYS be my jam. Our DFY bookkeeping services allow tax season to be a breeze, have clients profiting more and actually paying themselves, while using their numbers as a resource to scale their business.

What is your hot topic :

4 steps to stress free bookkeeping that will make tax season a breeze:

1. Separate business and personal - For the average biz owner, you really only need the one checking and one savings account for tax savings used strictly for business (I love Relay Bank). If you're good with credit cards, a business credit card is great to earn points and perks. I personally love the Chase ink card. Keep business and personal separate, this not only makes bookkeeping simpler, it also protects you legally.

2. Simplify your systems - you don't need to collect income 5 million different ways or use 3 different CRM systems all doing the same thing. There are sooo many different softwares out there (especially for photographers) but the simpler the better. This allows for easier tracking of income and expenses. My personal favorites for collecting income are Dubsado backed by Stripe and Paypal Business for paying subcontractors (extra pro tip - ONLY attach your business bank accounts to these payment processors that way you don't comingle and income and expenses are still only in your biz accounts.)

3. Get in an accounting software - this will again allow your bookkeeping process to be simple, streamlined, and automated. You can connect your business bank and credit card accounts and some CRM systems to the software. My preferred software is Xero due to it's affordability, user friendly platform, and customer support. Xero allows you to set up rules for certain transactions that really only take a click to be recorded. This allows for no missed income and more importantly recording all expenses aka tax deductions.

4. Do your bookkeeping AT LEAST monthly. This allows it to be less overwhelming , daunting, and transactions don't pile up. You should also be looking your numbers at least monthly to see how your business is doing and from there you can use data driven information to make informed business decisions. (and if you know deep down you aren't going to do it - OUTSOURCE to me!)

Today we are going to chat about Getting started in wedding photography with my friend Benny Chiu www.bycphotography.com

His fave HECK YES sales technique is Connection Connection Connection and providing tips that they may not have considered.

Benny never set out to be a full-time photographer. Sure, he loved documenting memories from the age he could first work a camera, but he always feared a career as a creative was too risky and not in the cards for him. He would go on to spend 15 years as an engineer and graduate with his MBA before he realized he wasn't happy in his profession. He decided he was finally ready to jump in feet first and pursue his passion in photography. In that moment, BYC Photography was born, but just as with anything worth attaining, the beginning was challenging and full of second guessing. Over the course of his career in photography, Benny had to start from the ground up and in doing so learned from some of the best in the industry. More than a decade since, Benny has won multiple international awards, taught at Canon Live, and has been featured and published in digital and in print regionally and nationally. Benny now serves as a brand ambassador for Imagen AI and maintains that success begins with a dream, a vision, and a choice.

- Getting started in wedding photography

1. Established a reputation within the photography community as a go-to 2nd or 3rd photographer or even as simple as being an assistant
2. Find a mentor
3. Hone your craft - photography techniques, sales and interview skills
4. Be yourself
