Trying something new heading into the holidays! A phone call with one of my closest friends, Katie Sobil! She’s been one of my partners in the photography world, and is always a source of inspiration when it comes to trying something new.

A Mom of two busy kids, Katie shares some challenges she’s faced with going back to work as a nurse, and how that has had her questioning her next moves in photography and videography while giving as much of her time to her kids as she possibly can. She shares some cringe-worthy stories about things her busy kids have done, including beads up the nose, and painting the walls! Stories I’m sure some parents out there can relate to!

Katie and I talk about how important our friendship has become to one another, being each other’s sounding board… having someone who can talk you through your self-doubt when it comes to natural talents, career choices, and over thinking habits – even when you’re setting up for an epidural, right Katie?! These voices in our heads can be so challenging, and somehow we allow them to tell us we aren’t good enough, we aren’t capable enough, we should be doing something better than we are… We wouldn’t tolerate someone else speaking to us the way we speak to ourselves… so why do we speak to ourselves to poorly? We talk about how crucial it is to start catching yourself in these moments and actively changing your thought patterns.
