Everyone has a different recipe for their version of a "funk." Mine is watching This Is Us and weeping into my fourth cup of coffee for the day. Maybe that's yours too, in which case, can you believe Rebecca did that??? And isn't Jack just the best!? (No spoilers, that's basically the running commentary after every episode.)

Well, my funk / slump / phase is over. I'm a bright and shiny person again, and I've learned a few things along the way. Including:

• even slow progress is still progress
• rest might be exact what you need to prepare for the next "level up"
• you can have support but still not be supported in the exact way you need
• and that even naturally driven folks like myself can still benefit from having someone to push them even further

Yesterday I experienced a flood of energy (and not just because my lunch was loaded with superfoods). It was because I overcame a massive mental block that had been preventing me from seeing my own potential.

In this episode, we'll be exploring the differences between the surface blocks and the deeper subconscious blocks, both of which act as excuses that slow down your progress. Plus, we'll do a simple exercise to smash through those blocks and get on track to crush goals.

I've photographed and attended 130+ weddings. Knowing what I know now, if I could go back in time and change things about my own wedding, what would they be? Where would my budget be spent? And who would I trust to photograph MY wedding?

Plus, you'll laugh while I go through some of the statistics about how much people are spending on the different elements of their wedding budget — you can't make this stuff up.

Here's a quote to kick off your listening journey:

You know that thing you've always wanted to do? And you know the 10+ reasons (*cough* EXCUSES) that keep you from getting there? Things like… needing a fancy camera before you can start your food blog. Or needing to finish your program before you can start booking clients for design work. Or needing an expensive website template before you can actually tell people about your venture.

The truth is, if it sounds super complicated, you're probably making it that way. It might not be super pretty but you CAN do it. It might just take a fresh set of eyes to peel away all the unnecessary layers that you've added to your list. If you're ready to get scrappy, join me for this bonus episode!

It's my FAVOURITE time of year — not only because I'm a mom of two school aged kiddos, but because I've held a deep love for back to school ever since I was a kid and got to pick out my new shoes and the coolest SpaceMaker pencil case. You had one, don't deny it. And you pencilled around all the little bubbles on the top because you were the coolest.

In honour of back to school, I'm telling stories about the other moms I met on the playground, plus sharing a few of the tips for building routines from day one that help to save time and instil responsibility in the tiny humans.

Wade Muir is a photographer, an artist, a mentorship client, and a friend. After having him and join me to second shoot a wedding, I made him record a podcast episode so that we could have a full circle moment to share with you today.

Wade tells us about the experience of his first solo wedding photography job, which leads us to contemplate about how many photos is TOO many photos, discuss the difference between cheap lessons and expensive lessons, and learn to find a personal style while balancing expectations vs. creative freedom.

Find out more about Wade through his WEBSITE // or on INSTAGRAM
