Have You Met?

Hillary Boutin is the woman behind Hillary Lynn Brands and the photographer who helped me begin seeing myself differently long before I had the confidence I have today.

When I first stepped in front of Hillary’s camera, I showed up terrified with multiple outfits, stacks of books, my Kindle, and bottles of wine because apparently I thought we were moving into the studio. I was also more than 100 pounds heavier than I am now and deeply uncomfortable being photographed.

Hillary never made me feel like I needed to change. She made me feel loved, beautiful, and worthy of being seen exactly as I was.

In this episode, we talk about how photography became her business, how she combines creativity with strategy, and why the right images can completely change the way a woman shows up in her business.

We also get into confidence, entrepreneurship, evolving your brand, and what it really takes to build a business that reflects both who you are and where you are going.

Hillary does so much more than take beautiful photos. She helps women see themselves, trust themselves, and confidently take up space. 🖤

What happens when you stop waiting for permission and decide to build the life you actually want? 🖤

On this episode of Have You Met?, I’m sitting down with Tatiana Cole, and we get into the REAL stuff behind building something of your own.

We talk about her journey, taking chances on yourself, figuring things out as you go, the moments that test you, and what happens when you decide you’re not going to sit on the sidelines of your own life.

Because THAT is what I want these conversations to be about.

Not just, “How did you start your business?”

I want to know about the woman who had the idea. The woman who got scared. The woman who did it anyway. And the woman she became because she tried.

Tatiana’s story is such a beautiful reminder that there is so much opportunity out there for us, and we are allowed to freaking GO FOR IT. 🖤
