The Six-Figure Standard is for women photographers who are done chasing more clients and ready to build a business that can actually hold growth instead of rebuilding the same year over and over again. Hosted by Skye Edmonds, this podcast goes straight into the conversations most people skip. Pricing that finally makes sense. Capacity limits you didn’t know you had. The nervous system strain that shows up once money, visibility, and responsibility increase. And the identity shifts required so six figures doesn’t feel fragile...or exhausting. After two decades in the industry and working with over 10,000 photographers, Skye teaches why six figures is not the finish line. It’s the threshold. And why strategy alone isn’t enough once you cross it. This is not a photography podcast.It’s a business and leadership conversation for women who want income that feels stable, grounded, and sustainable. Inside the podcast, you’ll hear about: • Pricing and profit without self-betrayal • Capacity, boundaries, and leadership at higher income levels • Nervous system regulation for business growth • Why “more” stops working and structure starts mattering • The unseen shifts that turn six figures into something you can keep If you’ve ever thought, I don’t need another strategy, I need something to change underneath this, you’re in the right place. This is The Six-Figure Standard.

    [21.] The Truth About Hustle Culture, Burnout & Building a Six-Figure Photography Business

    Everyone says to break up with hustle culture, but nobody seems to talk about what replaces it when you still have big goals and a business to grow. In this episode, Skye gets into the difference between hard work and treadmill work, why your body has to be part of your business plan, and what happens when every additional dollar requires more access to you. From 3 a.m. editing sessions to hormones, capacity, pricing and building additional income streams, this is a conversation about creating a six-figure photography business that doesn’t require your entire life to sustain it.

    [20.] You’re Ready for the Next Level. So Why Are You Still Holding Back?

    If you’ve ever found yourself hesitating right before raising your prices, holding back from posting your best work, or delaying a move you know would grow your photography business… this episode is going to hit. Because this isn’t about strategy. It’s about what happens in your body right before you become more visible, more defined, and more highly paid as a photographer. In this episode, we’re breaking down why photographers pull back right before they level up—and why what gets labeled as “overthinking” or “self-sabotage” is often a nervous system response, not a lack of discipline. You’ll understand what’s actually happening when you:– freeze before sharing your strongest portfolio work– undercharge even when you know your value– soften your messaging to stay more palatable– over deliver instead of holding clean client boundaries.  We’ll talk about the real reason growth can feel unsafe, how your nervous system interprets expansion as risk, and why your prefrontal cortex goes offline in the exact moments you need to lead.  ----------------------- Photographers, you already know enough to teach.

    [19.] In 2026, We Are Not Convincing: Stop Chasing Clients and Start Leading

    If you’re a successful photographer who still finds yourself over-explaining your pricing, softening your marketing, or following up just a little too much… this episode will hit. In this conversation, Skye unpacks how “convincing energy” quietly shifts the power dynamic between you and your clients — and why it often starts long before the sales call. This isn’t about tactics. It’s about nervous system regulation, internal beliefs, and the capacity required to hold a higher standard in your business. If you’re ready to stop performing your value and start leading with it, this episode will challenge you in the best way.  ----------------------- Photographers, you already know enough to teach.
