084: How To Take Time Off Work Without Guilt or Overwhelm
This past week, I got back from a vacation or "work break" in Hawaii with my wife, and unlike most trips I've recently taken, this trip was NOT followed by the guilt or overwhelm that usually happens after I have taken breaks from work in the past.
Why did this happen? How was I able to manage that?
On this episode, I break down how my photography business structure, and photography coaching, and overall out-of-office preparation gave me the ability to truly enjoy the time off, and come back refreshed without heaps of work to rush back to. Press play, and find out how I did it!

Customer Reviews
One word - AMAZING
I have been trying to start my own photography business but felt so discouraged at times as the industry is so oversaturated at the moment. However, I am so glad I found Nathans instagram and his podcast shortly after! Nathan has so much knowledge about the photography field and marketing too, and most importantly to me - how to show up as your authentic self, aka the secret sauce. All the episodes are filled with so much actionable information and his guess bring so much value to the podcast too. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Nathan for what you do, it is truly the encouragement I needed to pursue my passion! ❤️
One of my favorites!
I started listening to Nathan’s podcast a few months ago. And I love it - I truly believe that we should learn no matter if we are photographing one year, wo, five or more. I usually listen it during morning walks or when I am driving (not only to the wedding). I listen a few times some of them as they are so good and full of so many helpful informations. It’s very easy to listen to each of them.
So valuable!
I’m just starting my photography business and discovering this podcast has been so helpful! Sometimes I feel like I’m cheating because I’m getting all of this knowledge and these tips for free, in my own time at home, from someone has the experience and such an uplifting way of delivering the information. I always feel super motivated after listening to these episodes and feel like actually, I can do this!
