Ep. 37 | Where is God in Grief - 6 Years after a Stillbirth
This episode isn't light hearted or easy to listen to. I would go so far as to say, it's a bit painful to listen to but it's also powerful. If you struggle to make sense of how pain can be so present in the world where there is also a good God who loves us, this episode is worth listening to. We lost a child 6 years ago to complications from Down Syndrome. His story has changed thousands of lives and transformed us as parents and believers. This is my disclaimer: If you're looking for a photography how-to podcast, this isn't it. There are other episodes on those business topics! However, if you're looking to understand more about living in purpose and meaning in the midst of pain, I would dive in!

Ep. 36 | My Child's Health Journey Part 2- Changes
The other week I shared a very vulnerable podcast about the latest health journey we are on as a family, specifically for our son!
If you would like to listen to part one, you can do so HERE!
I was blown away by the response and I am so thankful for all of you who shared resources, reached out, and asked questions. The amount of mommas out there who are also searching for answers is shocking. It’s equal parts encouraging to not be alone and also startling that so many people are at a loss for answers and real solutions.
From makeup to dishwasher detergent to saying goodbye to standard sippy cups and food dyes…. I try to hit on everything but there is honestly a lot to remember. I JUST realized I didn’t even mention in the episode that we only use Cast Iron and Stainless Steel cookware now!
Like I said, it’s a lot to keep straight and I probably forgot other changes I should have mentioned but this is a JOURNEY and I’m willing to keep sharing as we keep growing through it if you all are up for it!

Ep. 35 | The Redemptive Story of Our Son's Health Journey (Part 1)
Today’s episode is a little different than normal.
Actually, it’s VERY different from normal. I sat down in my studio to record this without a plan or an outline or really even a clear vision for what I wanted to share…..
I ended up sharing the raw, honest journey we have been on the past 8-10 months with a health journey with one of our children and recently, my own health hurdles as well. Consider this an “intro” because there are so many things I didn’t get to in this episode. This paints a clearer picture of our life this last year and sets the stage to share more as we continue on this journey.
The goal of this episode is to share our reality in hopes that it will be an encouragement to other parents and other Enneagram 3’s who may operate like me and need a shift as well! :)

Ep. 33 | How to Serve a Client Who Isn't a Perfect Fit
Today's podcast is inspired by a recent KJ All-Access episode. In that episode the bride had very different taste than what I personally prefer and wouldn't be considered a "typical" KJ Bride. BUT I still had to show up on her wedding day and serve her as best as I possibly could.
So today I want to talk through what that looks like and how you can serve your clients well, even when they're not the perfect fit!

Ep. 32 | The Proven Business Strategy that Hasn't Changed in 15 years
The business world (and just the world in general) looks A LOT different today than it did 15 years ago when I started my business. But as my business has changed and evolved over the years one thing has stayed the same: the power of a personal brand. I've noticed that many of our student's struggle with applying this concept to their own businesses for a number of reasons: so in this episode I'm sharing WHY personal branding is still important and debunking some beliefs that many make up as to why it can't work for them.
