What does it really mean to live an authentic life that defies traditional labels and expectations? In this episode, I sit down with author and podcaster Seline Shenoy to explore what she calls the "nomadic soul" — a framework for embracing change, creativity, and personal growth on your own terms.

We talk about how many of us feel pulled between freedom and stability, and what it takes to stay connected to your truth while navigating life’s many roles. From identity layers to global perspectives, this conversation is packed with powerful mindset shifts and deep reflections.

You’ll hear why self-awareness is key to confidence, how to make peace with reinvention, and why experimenting with small steps can lead to massive breakthroughs. If you’ve ever felt like you don’t fit the mold, this episode will speak to your soul.

You’ll learn:

• Why your energy might be repelling clients without you realizing it
• The exact mindset shift I made when I built my biz during the 2008 recession
• What actually works in today’s market to book clients (no trendy hacks — just truth)

What if the very thing you're avoiding is the thing that sets you free?

In this solo episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on a conversation that’s long overdue — especially in the self-help, coaching, and creative entrepreneurship world. We’ve been sold a watered-down version of alignment that’s starting to feel like permission to do nothing.

But let me say it loud and clear:
 💥 Discipline is not punishment. It’s how you protect your joy.
💥 Alignment without action is just avoidance in disguise.

I’m sharing hard truths, neuroscience-backed insights, and stories from my own clients about what really changes when you stop waiting to feel ready — and start choosing to lead yourself with intention.

You’ll walk away with:

• A powerful reframe on what “flow” actually means
• Why your brain is always looking for proof — and how to give it better clues
• How discipline builds actual freedom, not burnout
• The difference between following joy and chasing comfort
• And why “motivation” isn’t your missing piece — devotion is

If you’re tired of dancing around your potential and ready to actually live it — this one’s for you.

If you've ever wondered why you're not landing the brand photography jobs you dream about, this episode is a must-listen. I sat down with Karen Williams—keynote speaker, course creator, and CEO of Black Visual Queen—to get the insider perspective most photographers never get access to.

Karen isn’t a photographer herself—she’s the one in the room when big brands are deciding who to hire and why. In this episode, we get into the unsexy but essential parts of getting hired, like building a strategic website, pricing with clarity, and knowing your "why" like your career depends on it (because it does).

This episode is packed with practical advice for photographers who are serious about booking brand clients. We also explore how to navigate contracts, build confidence, and avoid the most common mistakes photographers make when pitching to brands.

If you’ve ever felt like getting featured in a major publication was only for celebrities or six-figure influencers, this episode will shift your entire perspective. I sat down with PR expert Gloria Chou, who has helped small businesses earn over a billion organic media views without a single paid placement.

We talk about how to become your own PR agent (even if you’ve never pitched before), what creatives often get wrong about media visibility, and Gloria’s CPR Method—her proven framework for writing attention-grabbing pitches that work in any industry, including photography. 

This isn’t about vanity metrics—it’s about credibility, SEO, and long-term visibility that works for you. Gloria drops tools, mindset reframes, and free resources that creatives can start using today. Don’t miss her brilliant pitch tip or her surprising take on what journalists really want.

Don't miss it - especially if you need clients asap!

In today's episode, I’m joined by freelance coach and podcast host Kiri Mohan to talk about how to pre-qualify clients before they ever reach out—so you stop wasting time and start booking dream clients with more ease.

We explore Kiri’s Reflection Framework, a psychology-based method that helps creatives and freelancers attract aligned clients by mirroring what they already trust and respond to. From website tweaks to intake form strategies, this conversation will help you tighten your brand, refine your messaging, and make your content do the heavy lifting.

Plus, we dip into the mindset and energetic side of client attraction, including how manifestation plays a real role in booking the right people—and repelling the ones who aren’t a fit.

What You’ll Learn:

• How to pre-qualify clients using design, tone, and structure
• The contact form tweaks that signal you’re a premium service provider
• Why you're (accidentally) marketing to your peers instead of paying clients
• How your social content can subtly repel the wrong people (and attract the right ones)
• A refreshing take on manifestation and energy when it comes to booking clients

Whether you're a photographer, designer, VA, or creative entrepreneur, this episode is packed with practical tips and mindset shifts to help you attract aligned clients—without the hustle.

Listen now and start letting your brand speak for you.

We all have the ability to create whatever it is we desire, but many of us keep creating more of what we don't want because we focus on our current reality instead of where we want to go.

• Thoughts are not innocent – they send signals and place orders with the universe
• Neediness repels while magnetism comes from audacity and taking up space
• What you rehearse, you repeat, and what you repeat, you create
• Interrupting negative patterns requires asking better questions, not beating yourself up
• Take up space unapologetically – you were meant to shine bright

These are just a few of things I cover in today's episode that is designed inspire you into taking action in your business and your life.  Let me know what your takeaway are --> @reneebowen

Welcome to this juicy episode of Tried & True with a Dash of Woo! In this conversation with trauma-informed data analyst and operations strategist Kelsey Silver, we dive into how to track metrics that actually matter—without triggering your nervous system or falling into spreadsheet chaos.

At [03:15], Kelsey explains how our resistance to numbers often stems from trauma, perfectionism, and even sensory overload—especially for those of us with neurodivergent, high-achieving brains. You’ll feel so seen. Then, around [14:20], she introduces a unique metaphor that will seriously shift how you think about metrics—spoiler: it involves painting.

Stick around through [28:40] as we get into the real “metrics to track” in your business, how to simplify it down to just FIVE core numbers, and how to turn your curiosity into conversions. This episode is full of practical tips, brilliant analogies, and a little bit of woo. You’re gonna want to take notes.
