Wildly Creative Life with Brooke Schultz

Welcome my friends to this inside look with my girl Isabella into her transformation story as a photographer. DM me the word CURIOUS on Instagram @brookebschultz if you want to learn more about Love Soaked.  

Isabella shares so much wisdom about what it takes to improve your work, including:

💖 why she doesn’t consider herself to be talented and the mindset that supports her instead

💖 how she saw a difference in her images right away after starting the Love Soaked course but the thing that really made the difference in creating images she and her clients are obsessed with

💖 how she went from a new person in a new place not knowing anyone to fully booked. 

If you are even slightly curious about working together, the price for Love Soaked is jumping up by $1k tomorrow night, so DM me the word Curious on IG to get all the details plus some fun before and afters of photograhers who I've had the pleasure of helping through this process. 

I've just been so impressed with her imagery and asked her if she’d be willing to share how she went from taking generic pics to having a style her clients come to her specifically for and she was gracious enough to accept and share with you all.

Description:

Setbacks are part of the inextricable set of experiences that make you who you are, and thus make your creative work what it is. We are obsessed with triumph stories, where hard work is the only ingredient required to succeed, but what about the inevitable curveballs life throws along the way? Is the only way to handle them toxic positivity that demands you see how those curveballs were the best thing that every happened to you? There’s another way. In this episode we explore how to think about setbacks in a way that supports your creativity but also connects you to your humanity, and how to alchemize the hardest things into something beautiful.

You know how there can be a storm, or a bunch of clouds, and planes can simply fly above it all? It’s still there, but the clouds take a backseat to where the plane is going. The weather is a consideration, but it’s not the focus—the destination is. ☀️⛅️🌦️ THAT’S what being a visionary means. It means that the wiggly toddlers, kids who don’t wanna listen, dads who don’t want to be there, stressed moms, and EVERYTHING that might arise in a family shoot is simply the weather. Family photogs, this is a WHOLLLEEE new way of approaching your photographs and your business. I can’t wait to share it with you! Comment VISIONARY to join us live for a ❤️‍🔥special bonus (something I made just for this group to tangibly tap into your inner visionary before every photo shoot that’ll take less than 10 min).

If youre a human listening to podcasts in 2024, you’ve probably done some sort of mindset work. You’re familiar with the idea that your happiness is an inside job, and that no one else can give it to you. You realize that you can rise above your circumstances and write your own story about what everything in your life means, that everything can be viewed from multiple perspectives. You see that some people are blissfully happy with nothing and others are miserable with all the $ in the world; you know that if you don’t believe in yourself no one else will. You know that you’re the key to your own success or failure. and yet:

Sometimes, or a lot of times, you find yourself still being human and not acting in integrity with what you know. You find yourself knowing intellectually one thing, but behaving in another way. Still snapping at the people you love. Still acting in a way that suggests you DO believe someone else can make you happy, still believing that someone else has it more figured out or together than you, still hiding when you’d previously determined to show up for your business or your creativity. What we do at THAT point in the process– the point of ‘I know this but I’m just not doing it’ is crucial.

Tapping into your inner visionary: this is the part of you that sees what other people don’t see. This is the part of you that reads a biography about hamilton and sees hip hop musical. This is where every experience you’ve ever had, good, bad, ugly, stretching, boring, all of it, comes together to alchemize into your vibe, your ethos, your voice, your style and thus, your creative legacy. The body of work you will make that will still be here after you’re gone. And the funny thing about vision is that most of us are blind to our own. We don't see very readily where we are different, unique. And when we have something that feels different our immediate instinct is to hide it BECAUSE it’s different. Or we try to be different on purpose and because we’re carving a new path, we don’t know how to communicate it in a way that makes sense to people. In this episode, we’ll talk about ways to tap into your inner visionary AND ways to enroll other people into the vision so you can get your work brought to life and have it impact the widest group of humans possible.

Descriptions:

If you’ve created something and feel it’s not *quite* hitting the mark but aren’t sure exactly why, this technique could be the answer. It’s a metaskill that applies to every medium of creative work, from music to photography to fashion to cooking and more. While I didn’t invent this technique, I had a lot of fun applying it to so many different mediums to inspire you to apply it to what you’re working on.

A dispatch from the top of the world, where everything feels fantastic. I could spin a completely different story out of this moment, though.

There's always a buffet of both problems and gratitude to choose from, and your access to abundance in creativity lies in the choice of what you'll pursue.

So... how good are you willing to let it be?

What do you do when you’re spiraling out of control because none of your ideas seem to be working and you’re stuck? In this episode you’ll meet Emma, who is an amazing photographer out of Australia. She had a very relatable experience: a shoot that didn’t go well. Tune in for my unconventional advice.

Margaret Mitchell took 10 years to write Gone with the Wind. Les Mis took 12 years. Damien Chazelle didn’t make La La Land for 6 years after he finished the script because he couldn’t get anyone to fund it. Road blocks, lack of motivation, and setbacks are part of a creative life. 

Here’s how to hold them without letting them be the end of your creations.
