Join Jen Sulak of Weirdo Weddings Photography as we talk Entrepreneurship, Small Business, Wedding Industry talks as well as Parenting from 0-7 years old (currently) and Tattoos. In the life of a business owner, we don't stop thinking (and running) our businesses once we become parents. We start the art of integrating our moments together in one happy-go-lucky-wild-ride-I'm-in-it for the long haul.

Today's guest is Brenda Rigney, all the way up in Vancouver Canada who has a passion to help others shift from their corporate worlds into starting businesses. A mother of two and a single parent, she understands the changes and shifts of life with children (and business!). She is nearly an empty-nester, so we dive into the world of communication with your children, where mid-life hits for YOU right now and a couple of fun tattoo stories that left me smiling! Please join us, re-heat your coffee and ENJOY!!!!

To see more about Brenda:

Midlife women are the best leaders on the planet. If you’ve ever climbed the corporate ladder, starting a business is the natural next step in your career.

But decades of pervasive hustle culture, casual workplace sexism, and a lack of mentorship don’t exactly set women up to feel confident making the leap.

It took me 27 years of developing multi-million-dollar brands and CEOs—and one earth-shaking divorce—to finally go down that road. 

I had to reset everything—starting with my health, that foreign word “boundaries,” and my vision for my own life—if I wanted to build a business that wasn’t just a repeat of the misaligned life I was so desperate to leave behind.

Since then, I’ve coached hundreds of successful women in their 40s, 50s, and older to help them do the same. Because the thing I'm 100% sure about is that the world needs way more successful, innovative, and unstoppable women like you in business. (We can’t rely on the patriarchal capitalist biz bros to build a better world.) 

I’m here to help you get clear on your vision, draw on your unique skills and experience, and connect you with other women doing the thing so your Aligned AF business and life aren’t only possible, but inevitable.

Today we are with Daniella Koontz, my famous partner in crime in Florida where we made silly content videos and loved talking everything photography! Today's episode is slightly reflective in how far we have come in our years of business ownership, but also how parenthood factors into every day life and goals. We discuss past 'lives' and how they may have shaped our futures and where we might see ourselves going on the path.

Grab a snack....and

Re-heat your coffee, and let's go!

To see more about Daniella:

Photography has been a life-long passion of mine. With over two decades behind the lens, I have experienced the evolution from film to digital. 

I was a yearbook photographer, and just generally always had a camera in my hand growing up. When I married a photographer, people started asking us to photograph them. So in 2006 we opened Koontz Photography together. Since then he has followed a different career path in the hospitality industry. He now works in transportation at Walt Disney World, so you might see us there!

Together we have four amazing children, so owning my own company has given me the flexibility to set my own schedule and do the majority of my work from home.

Today we are joined by Alex Bellocq! I met Alex at a photography convention where he modeled and danced (ballet) for many of us in the conference. However, as we explore more into the depths of Alex's story we find fulfillment in the cycles of creativity, collaboration and burnout. Join us a for a real-time discussion on cycles of life with a fun tattoo story in the end with a deep, dark TWIST.

Re-heat your coffee, and let's go!
