We’re kicking off the year by burning the planner, canceling the checklist, and telling the truth about why resolutions fail most people by March.

In this episode, I unpack why goals often collapse under pressure, why doing more is rarely the answer, and why so many photographers build beautiful businesses that still quietly suffocate them. We talk about capacity. Nervous systems.

The difference between decorating the box you’re in versus asking if the box is even big enough for the life you say you want.

I share the metaphor that rearranged my brain this year, why my word for 2026 is expansion, and the uncomfortable reality that growth does not come from adding more habits, offers, or hustle. It comes from being willing to put something down. Time. Energy. Distractions. And yes, sometimes even Bravo.

This episode is for the high-achieving woman who is already doing a lot, already trying hard, already successful on paper, but knows deep down that something is still capping her financially, creatively, or emotionally.

If someone were watching a TV show of your life, what would they be screaming at the screen for you to change? That question alone might be the key to everything.

No resolutions. No hustle sermons. Just an honest conversation about space, capacity, desire, and what it actually takes to expand into the life you keep saying you want.

Welcome to the first episode of the year.

Let’s make it count.

Being bold is great, but what does it actually look like in action? Today, we are re-airing a juicy episode from March where we talked about the power of creating your own demand and stepping out of the red ocean of competition into a blue ocean where you’re completely unmatched.

Most photographers struggle to stand out because they’re unknowingly blending in—offering the same styles, using the same marketing tactics, and getting stuck in the same price wars. But when you take control of your positioning, lean into what makes you different, and own your worth, you stop chasing clients and start attracting them.

So, let’s talk about how to do that—practically, strategically, and without all the vague, fluffy advice that leads nowhere.

In this episode, we cover:
🔥 Why most photographers struggle to book their dream clients—and how to fix it
🔥 The concept of red ocean vs. blue ocean and why competing is a trap
🔥 A practical exercise to plot out your market positioning and uncover your unique advantage
🔥 How to use pricing, niche, branding, and authority to create demand instead of chasing it
🔥 The biggest mistakes that keep photographers stuck in the noise
🔥 My personal journey of stepping out of the wedding industry and redefining my business
🔥 A challenge for you: Identify your own blue ocean and make bold, strategic moves

Before I touch a planner.
Before I set a single goal.
Before I decide who I’m going to be in 2026…

I’m pausing.

This episode isn’t about motivation or manifestation.
It’s about purging and elimination.

I’m closing out 2025 with my biggest revenue year ever — over half a million dollars — and I’m talking about the part no one glamorizes. The pressure of a massive Q4. The mental whiplash that comes with success. The moments where ambition quietly turned into overextension.

This is a raw end-of-year reflection on what worked, what didn’t, and what I’m no longer willing to drag into a new year just because it helped me hit a number.

Before January resolutions, I’m starting somewhere else:
Elimination.

What has to go before anything new can actually work?

If you’ve ever ended a “successful” year feeling heavy…
If you’ve hit goals and still felt unsettled…
If you know something didn’t work but haven’t slowed down long enough to name it…

This episode is for you.

Because I don’t get to dream about 2026 until I purge what didn’t serve me in 2025.

Welcome to The Purge.

This episode starts with a dusty studio, a Facebook Marketplace obsession, and a table that required a full-body commitment and questionable parenting choices to acquire. But this isn’t a story about furniture. It’s about what happens when you intentionally design the spaces where decisions are made and money changes hands.

Inside this episode, Jodi pulls back the curtain on what she’s been seeing after deeply auditing photographers’ websites and portfolios, not skimming, not scrolling, but experiencing them the way real clients do. What she found was consistent, costly, and quietly sabotaging bookings.

She breaks down why most photographers are unknowingly building decision-making environments that create hesitation instead of trust, confusion instead of clarity, and chaos instead of confidence. From unclear positioning to bloated portfolios, overstimulating design, missing process, and the biggest red flag of all, no email capture or funnel.
This conversation reframes your website as what it actually is: a business meeting that happens without you in the room.

If your inquiries feel unpredictable, your pricing conversations feel heavy, or your bookings feel like luck instead of momentum, this episode will change how you see your brand, your site, and the environments you’re inviting clients into.

This isn’t about trends.

It’s about foundations.

And building spaces that are ready to receive money.

Press play.

This week’s episode opens with a moment I’ve had circled on my mental calendar all season: hitting two hundred and two thousand dollars in my fall schedule. It was one of those “holy shit, look what we did” moments paired with the immediate realization that strategy and psychology—not luck—got us here.

From there, we dive into something every photographer needs to understand: the Sunken Cost Fallacy. It sounds academic, but trust me, it’s running half your business decisions without you even noticing. This pattern is the reason so many women stay loyal to pricing that hasn’t worked in years, systems that drain them, or marketing strategies they outgrew three rebrands ago. All because they “already invested in it.”

Inside this episode, we unpack what the Sunken Cost Fallacy actually looks like in real life and how subtly it can keep your business capped at the same income year after year. And no, this isn’t a lecture. There are stories, examples, a little tough love, and a few moments that may feel uncomfortably accurate… in the best way.

You’ll also get a look at what intentional pivoting looks like behind the scenes. Not burning your business down at 2 a.m. Not reinventing the wheel every season. Actual strategic shifts that open the door to more income, more clarity, and more authority.

If you’ve been feeling the nudge that something in your business needs to evolve, but you’re not sure what, this episode is going to feel like someone finally naming the thing you couldn’t quite articulate.

Consider it your sign.

This episode breaks down the moment I realized how much money I’ve been stepping over in my business without even noticing. When you stop operating like a photographer and start operating like a business owner, you begin to see every crack, every leak, and every missed opportunity that was right in front of you.

I talk through two major examples from this month that made this painfully clear:
How a $30K wedding pulled me out of retirement and confirmed how much I left on the table as a wedding photographer by not incorporating IPS into my process.

How my PASS galleries brought in $4,492 this month without me doing anything, simply because the systems were already in place.

I also share the ways I’m tightening my business for next year, including finally monetizing wardrobe styling and building affiliate income around the work I’m already doing.

The message is simple:
Once you see the money, you can’t unsee it.
And once you start thinking like a CEO, you stop leaving it on the table.

If you’re limping into the off-season feeling exhausted, uninspired, and telling yourself you’ll “get back on social when you feel motivated”… this episode is your loving slap.
We’re ripping apart the biggest lie you’ve ever been sold as a business owner: that motivation is something you wait for.
Spoiler: it’s not coming. Motivation is a scam and discipline is the real CEO.

Inside this episode, we dive into:

This is your off-season reset. The truth-telling, psychology-backed wake-up call that pulls you out of the “I’ll do it when I feel motivated” lie… and teaches you how to actually build momentum.

Press play and let’s talk about why motivation is a scam… and why that’s the best news you’ll hear all year.

This episode starts with a dad who nearly broke me as a baby photographer…
and ends with a different dad wrapping his arm around me saying,
“There’s just something about you.”
What happened in between?

A transformation, happened... one that I've been living inside of for years.

Inside this episode, I dive into:
• The surprising reason dads shut down on shoots
• The energy photographers feel from men but rarely talk about
• The moment “Johnny” challenged me — and the exact second everything shifted
• Why your photoshoot is your sales room (whether you realize it or not)
• The subtle, playful disruptors that move clients out of logic and into emotion

If you’ve ever shrunk under a dad’s energy, lost control of a session, or felt thrown off in the sales room… this episode connects every dot.

Let’s just say it: being affordable isn’t a flex—it’s a trap.

In this episode, I’m talking directly to the woman who keeps shrinking herself to be more “accessible,” “likable,” or “sweet”... and is secretly burnt the hell out. You’re underpaid, overbooked, and exhausted—and it’s not your talent that’s the problem. It’s the people-pleasing.

We’re diving into how pricing isn’t just about money—it’s about nervous system conditioning, self-worth, and the lies we’ve been sold about what makes a “good” woman or business owner. This one is spicy and probably the most important episode I’ve ever recorded.

💥 If your business feels more like a treadmill than a calling—listen in.

In This Episode:
🔥 Why “being affordable” is actually a form of people-pleasing
🔥 The Mormon grandma who taught me what not to do
🔥 What discounting out of guilt really says about your self-trust
🔥 The math (and mindset) behind what’s really keeping you broke
🔥 The 5 sneaky ways people-pleasing shows up in your business
🔥 What Glennon Doyle taught me about cages, wildness, and not betraying yourself
🔥 The hard truth: clients aren’t loyal to your kindness—they’re loyal to your boundaries
🔥 How to stop being the bargain-bin version of yourself and build a brand that demands respect

This isn’t about raising your rates just to make more money. This is about raising your standards—because your daughters are watching. Your future is watching. And the world doesn’t need more sweet. It needs more sovereign.

You can have the prettiest brand, the most emotionally intelligent client experience, the most viral marketing in the world…

But if you choke in the sales room? You’re cooked.

This episode closes out The $200K Season series with the final lever in the system — the one that actually brings the money in: sales psychology.

We’re talking about why photographers keep blue-balling their business by ramping up the foreplay of marketing and branding and then blowing it (no pun intended there) in the sales room... leaving you with a business that has the best images and greatest website, but you're not turning a profit.

Inside this episode:

You can flirt with your audience all day long, but until you actually learn to close…
you’re just leaving your business frustrated and broke.

The full sales script, emotional sequencing, and pricing framework are all inside POSERS | The Mastermind.

This episode is the preview.

The playbook is waiting for you inside.
