What if the key to transforming your life isn't just positive thinking but actually lies deeper in your nervous system? When Kathryn Spears walked away from her "dream job" in marketing, she discovered that beneath her perfectionism, overachieving, and workaholism lay trauma responses that kept her disconnected from her body and true self.

In this mind-opening conversation, Kathryn reveals the critical distinction between mindset work and nervous system regulation. While affirmations and visualization have their place, they can't override a dysregulated nervous system that's constantly signaling danger. Your brain processes 400 billion pieces of information through filters shaped by past experiences, and when you're stuck in survival mode, even the best mindset tools remain inaccessible.

The signs of dysregulation are everywhere if you know what to look for: anxiety, perfectionism, task-jumping with urgency, physical tension, gut issues, and that bone-deep exhaustion at day's end. These aren't just inconveniences - they're your nervous system desperately trying to communicate with you.

Whether you're struggling with perfectionism, experiencing unexplained physical symptoms, or simply feeling stuck despite doing all the "right" things, this episode offers a fresh perspective and practical tools to begin your regulation journey. Your body is speaking to you - are you ready to listen?

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.

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.

IS ELEVATE RIGHT FOR YOU? 

Elevate is special. It's a group I absolutely love coaching and it's for the female photographer who needs help with both her mindset and her marketing. She's not afraid to be a little vulnerable. She's open to new ideas and is also interested in being a support for other women like her. She's brave, kind and believes that there is room for all of us. She's a badass.  She's fun and funny and not afraid to do the work.  This you?  Apply HERE.

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.

LAST DAY FOR THE CREATIVE TEAM METHOD SALE! 

It's the last day for you to grab the best "how to" senior rep course in the market for $650 off!  CLICK HERE to get it so you can book more qualified senior portrait clients for Class of 2026.

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.
