Have you ever had a friend or family member make a discouraging comment about your photography business? Maybe they question your pricing, doubt your success, or think it’s "just a hobby." In this episode, Heather shares why these comments sting, how to stop internalizing negativity, and the best ways to respond with confidence. You don’t need their approval—you need your own belief. Let’s build a mindset that deflects doubt and keeps you moving forward, no matter what anyone says. Show Notes:

• The most common negative comments photographers hear from friends and family
• Why these comments only hurt if there’s already doubt in your mind
• The power of unshakable belief in your business
• How to stop seeking external validation and cultivate your own confidence
• Quick-witted responses to shut down negativity (with a little humor!)
• Why your success isn’t dependent on anyone else's belief but your own
