What happens when things don’t go your way? When the bookings fall through, the inquiries ghost, and the excitement turns into discouragement? In this episode of the Flourish Academy Podcast, Heather Lahtinen shares a real and vulnerable coaching call from the Elevate program, highlighting what it really looks like to process disappointment as a photographer and entrepreneur.

You’ll hear a raw, honest conversation about feeling discouraged, how to sit with those feelings instead of rushing past them, and why this emotional work matters just as much as marketing or editing photos. If you’ve ever wondered, “Why isn’t this working?”—this episode will remind you that you’re not alone, and it’s okay to not be okay for a moment. Show Notes:

  • The power of allowing disappointment to exist
  • Rejection as redirection
  • Mindset tools for managing emotional lows
  • Creating a rhythm between rest, work, and self-compassion
  • Building resilience in business through emotional awareness
