Season 3 is HERE, friends, and we’re kicking things off with a topic that’s all too real: editing while dealing with year-end burnout. If you’re deep in your editing cave, dodging client emails asking “When will my photos be ready?”, and running purely on caffeine and vibes right now, you’re not alone. This episode is here to help you make it through the chaos.

We’re diving into realistic tips to tackle your editing queue, manage burnout, and maybe—just maybe—find a little balance before the holidays hit. Plus, I’m introducing my brand-new segment, All The Rage, where we chat about what photographers are loving and raging about—starting with those clients who just don’t get turnaround times.

Grab your coffee (or wine, no judgment) and let’s talk about how to push through and remind ourselves that burnout doesn’t define us—or our businesses.
