Permission Granted with Jessica Connery

Let’s talk about burnout for a second. It’s not something that just happens at once, it happens in small increments until one day, you just feel like your tank is completely empty. I have to admit that I’m in that right now. I even considered not recording this episode, you’ll hear why in just a few minutes. But I wanted to share this because if I’m going through it, then chances are someone else might be too. In this episode I talk about the way burnout creeped up on me, how I am dealing with it, and the 5 things I’m focusing on in 2020 to make sure I never feel this way again, because to be candid, it’s not fun and this vulnerability is something I don’t normally show to the world. You’re listening to episode number 11 of Permission Granted with Jessica Connery.

In this week’s episode I am speaking with Katherine Schwingel about what it feels like to realize what you thought was your lifetime career isn’t where you’re meant to be, how letting go of needing to meet other people’s expectations can result in personal happiness, and why you don’t need motivation when you’re doing what you love. Katherine is a branding photographer and stylist for creatives in Costa Mesa, CA. Kath is refreshingly enthusiastic and astute at creating meaningful relationships in her industry and with her clients and understands this is the key to her success. Kath has built her photography business by using her innate gift of styling and creating brand and product photos that tell the story of creative business owners in a way that let’s us feel like we’re part of their business. Kath’s ability to tell stories through the lens of her camera is astounding. Sooner or later you’ll love Kath as much as I do. You can find her online at www.katherineschwingel.com and on instagram @katherineschwingel. This is episode #6 of Permission Granted.
