John 9:1-3 -

And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.

And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?

Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

Pep talks for 3 listeners: how to have confidence in new ventures + balance creative growth with showing up as a mom (Ep 186)

Takeaways:

1. growing in business + creativity doesn't have to be at odds with showing up as the mom and wife you want to be.

2. you have to believe you can't afford NOT to pursue your dreams simultaneously with your other pursuits and relationships

3. action creates confidence, not the other way around. You don't need confidence in your abilities, you only need confidence in your own resilience.

4. Take your new big visions to the people on a slower, more specific timeline than you think.

5. the most interesting person in the room is the most interested

6. you can't predict all the beautiful ways your vulnerability and you going first will snowball!

Family photography has traditionally been the lowest rung on the photography ladder. Not as cool as wedding, fashion, or commercial photography, family photographers have been relegated to little more than button pushers serving the masses.

This reflects the patriarchal structure that runs on the unpaid, unseen labor of parents - especially mothers. Society cannot value what it cannot see.

We rage against this machine by witnessing + spotlighting the holy work of parenthood and family life through art.

I also learned a surprising truth from launching the magazine that I'm sharing in this quick episode! It applies no matter what medium you create in. THANK YOU for being here!

If you work with clients who commission creations from you, this episode is a must listen.
