Your Energy Is a Luxury Item; Not Everyone Can Afford It


Listen Later

“Your energy is a luxury item—and not everyone can afford it.”

When Taylor Swift said this, it hit me right in the gut. Because it’s true: your energy, presence, and emotional labor aren’t disposable. They’re rare, valuable, and worth protecting.

In this episode, I share how I've learned to guard my energy in my photography business and life. From saying no to summer sessions that drained me, to slowing down during newborn shoots, to setting boundaries that honor my time and creativity, you’ll see how important it is to reframe the value of your energy for yourself and your clients.

What’s in this episode:

  • [00:35] Why your energy is not cheap or disposable
  • [02:12] How energy leaks show up in photography work and life
  • [06:45] A personal story about saying “no” to client sessions for rest
  • [12:20] How calming energy transformed a stressful newborn shoot
  • [16:40] Practical ways to protect your energy as a photographer

Tune in to learn how protecting your energy helps you show up more fully as a photographer, create sustainably in your business, and live with intention.
