In this episode, I’m reflecting on why this podcast began, what this first year has taught me, and where I’m heading next. What started as an idea that lived in my head for nearly two years turned into a space for honest, real-life conversations — the kind you’d have on the couch, in the car, or across the table with a cup of coffee.

This year wasn’t about perfection. It was about experimenting, showing up imperfectly, and figuring out if podcasting truly had a place in my life and business. And the answer is yes.

As I share this episode from the car while driving between North Carolina and Maryland during a big family transition, I open up about why these conversations matter so much to me — and why I believe they shouldn’t stop with just two people talking. Conversations that make us feel less alone, more inspired, more motivated, or simply understood deserve to be shared.

Looking ahead to 2026, I’m excited to commit more fully to this podcast with:

• Weekly episodes
• Guest conversations (at least one per month!)
• Continued discussions for moms, business owners, creatives, and women navigating full, meaningful lives

This next season feels like a full-circle moment — both personally and professionally — and I’m grateful to bring you along for the journey.

Whether this is your first episode or you’ve been here from the beginning, thank you for listening, supporting, and being part of The Photographer’s Couch.

Here’s to growth, potential, and meaningful conversations in the year ahead.
