Turning Nerves Into Excitement, Letting Go of "Shoulds", & Learning How to Learn with @melissafindley


Listen Later

We're joined in this episode by PNW photographer Melissa Findley (@melissafindley).  Melissa has over a decade of experience photographing landscapes, people, nature, and wildlife. She has worked with well-known and reputable brands in the industry including Canon, Adorama, Adobe and Nat Geo. Melissa also has and incredible portfolio and expertise in working with tourism and hospitality boards such as Visit Saudi Arabia, the Banff Fairmont Springs, Switzerland Tourism and Tourism Australia. Her artistic way of storytelling through photo carousels and video format is engaging, authentic and pure, and something we can all look towards for inspiration. 

Among many other topics, this episode focuses on the benefits of channeling our anxious feelings and nerves into excitement so that we begin to say "yes" to more scary opportunity. We talk about ditching your ideas of the way things "should go", or what you "should do", so that we don't put unrealistic expectations on outcomes or put our vision in a box. Lastly, we talk about the art form of learning how to best learn. It may seem like a confusing topic, but have you ever asked yourself what the most efficient way for you to learn is?
