What's Next for TMA Education: Meet TMA's New Director of Education, Katie Lamb

Kim Box has said before that spotting talent is one of the few things she'll claim to be good at. This week, she gets to prove it. Katie Lamb, longtime TMA mentor and educator, has officially joined the team as Director of Education, and the two sit down to talk about what she has already built, what members have been asking for, and where TMA education is headed next. In This Episode Why Katie said yes, and what a dedicated education role makes possible that no one person can do alone The redesigned member dashboard: seven years of education, now searchable by topic, mentor, and need The shift from selling information to delivering results, and why "less, but better" is the goal What it means for a membership to feel like home, from the community to the education library The education members are requesting most right now, including behind-the-scenes sessions, Fresh 48, product-based business transitions, and CRM workflows How the community itself has become one of the most valuable parts of the $49 membership A peek at what the team is exploring for members who want smaller groups, accountability, and support beyond the basics Katie's vision is simple: you focus on the art you're making, and TMA makes sure you always know what you need to know. If you're already a member, she wants to hear what you're stuck on. That feedback goes straight into what she's building. If you've been thinking about joining, enrollment opens quarterly, and you can add your name to the waitlist at themotherhoodanthology.com/photography-mentoring/.

Pelican Provision

I watched a pelican soar over the ocean, dive into the waves, and come up with a fish. It didn't just appear in the bird's mouth. There was still effort and work involved. That simple image got me thinking about God's provision all week, especially as I sat with friends who run million-dollar businesses but have all been through tight financial seasons. Every one of us started with something we already had. And God kept asking me the same question: what's in your hand? In This Episode: God's pattern in Scripture is never to drop something brand new out of the sky. Instead He asks "What do you already have?" and multiplies the small, ordinary thing that's sitting unused right in front of you Moses had a staff, the widow had a jar of oil, the boy had a lunch, and we had a building sitting empty on Sundays. None of it looked like provision until we started actually looking at what was already ours Before you ask God for something new, ask Him to open your eyes to what's already in your hand. Write it down, what's underused, what feels too ordinary to matter, what's been sitting idle Your work isn't creating provision. Your work is going and getting what had already been provided. The pelican still has to dive, but the fish is already there in the water Connect with us!

What Jesus modeled, that we keep getting wrong

I painted a mural for an ISS room with the words "Better Choices, Brighter Future." Truth and grace sitting side by side in one small room. A kid broke a rule, got a consequence, and was still reminded that this moment didn't have to define them. And I realized something about how we handle our own relationships: we almost never hold grace and truth together the way Jesus did. In This Episode: Grace without truth looks like staying silent to avoid conflict, which breeds resentment and keeps relationships surface level instead of letting people actually grow Truth without grace looks like constant correction, nitpicking, or calling out someone's sin so bluntly that they stop bringing you anything real because they know all they'll get is judgment Jesus modeled both at once: confronting the woman at the well about her marriages while offering her living water, confronting Peter's denials while restoring him to his purpose, holding forgiveness and a call to change in the same breath When you need to say something hard, lead with warmth: "I love you no matter what and because I love you I cannot pretend this is not hurting you," and then stay in the relationship instead of disappearing after the hard conversation Connect with us!

Stop Treating AI Like a Search Engine: How to Build With It Instead

Queens, if you're still using AI to check the weather or rephrase an email, you're leaving the good stuff on the table. Sarah K. Heeter of PodFox Media is back for round two, and this time we're pulling back the curtain on what we actually text each other about: the apps, dashboards, and tools we're building for ourselves instead of paying for someone else's almost-right software. Sarah built her own session scheduler for her podcast after a $15/month tool kept letting guests miss their slots. I rebuilt my whole client management system and ditched Dubsado. And yes, we both built spinny-wheel book recommendation apps, because reading is expensive and we have priorities. What we cover: Why "solve a problem" beats "answer a question" every time, and how that one shift changes what you build Fable 5 vs. everything else: when the big model is worth the credits and when it isn't The skateboard-to-car rule for minimum viable products (start with the skateboard, not the wheels) Research first, then build: how Sarah used Claude to shop the market before deciding to DIY The real downsides of building it yourself, including the fact that you are now customer support The best part? You don't need a dev team or a market of thousands. You're a market viability of one, and that's all it takes to build something that fits your business exactly. Want to solve a problem on the show? Season three is open for guests. If you've got a challenge in your business or your day-to-day that AI might be able to fix, apply at aiqueens.com/apply or DM me on Instagram or LinkedIn.

Alone on Purpose

I set a timer for 15 minutes of uninterrupted quiet and got three text notifications before I even made it a quarter of the way through. That's when I realized something: I cannot get quiet by accident. If I want uninterrupted time to think, create, or pray, I have to build it on purpose and defend it like it matters because it does. And research backs me up. One small interruption costs way more than you think. In This Episode: There are two different kinds of quiet and they're not the same thing: quiet to recharge through prayer and Scripture, and quiet to create output and think through things that require real focus Research shows it takes over 20 minutes on average for your brain to fully regain deep focus after just one interruption, which means those little pings and questions are stealing way more time than you realize Jesus modeled both kinds of quiet: He withdrew to solitary places to pray, and He also called His disciples away to rest, showing us that both are non-negotiable parts of how we're made to function Access is the enemy of depth, so you have to decide on purpose that for a defined stretch of time, you are going to be unreachable, and then you have to actually protect that time by putting your phone in another room Connect with us!

Episode 143: The 5 biggest mistakes independent retailers make--A Discussion with B.C. Henschen

Independent pet retailers face constant pressure to carry more products, chase trends, satisfy sales reps, and compete with larger chains. But according to longtime pet industry veteran BC Henschen, sometimes the smartest move is knowing what not to do. In this episode of Pet Shop Girls, BC shares lessons from years in the pet industry, including his experience as the former owner of Platinum Paws. He breaks down some of the most common mistakes independent pet retailers make—and explains how stronger boundaries, better product knowledge, and a clearly defined store identity can help retailers build trust and long-term success. From inventory management and manufacturer relationships to staff training, sourcing, storytelling, and the surprisingly important skill of saying “no,” this conversation is packed with practical advice for retailers at every stage.

How to Run a Profitable Photography Business

What does it actually take to build a photography business that's profitable? Not just busy, not just booked, but genuinely sustainable. This best-of episode pulls five conversations from the TMA archive to answer that question from five different angles, and the picture they paint together is more practical and more honest than any single episode could deliver on its own. In This Episode Laura Esmond on why simplifying your offer is the fastest path to profitability, and the "let go list" practice that helps photographers get there Jodi Nemetz on the psychology-based niche that took her from $41,000 to multi-six figures, and what that arc reveals about the power of dialing in on one specific thing Kayla Marie on the real framework for deciding what to outsource and what to own, including how your market type should drive that decision Shannon Griffin on how a clear artist statement becomes a business operating principle, and why vision is a profit driver, not a creative luxury Katie Lamb on why boundaries are the piece that makes everything else stick, and the mindset shift that turns "no" into a business strategy Every photographer you'll hear today has found profitability through a different door. But the through-line is the same: clarity, intentionality, and the willingness to make decisions that align with the life you actually want to build. If today's episode has you thinking about the deeper work behind a profitable photography business, the TMA membership is where that work continues. Every month goes deep on one piece of the photography business, with live coaching calls, featured educators, and a community of photographers working through the same questions.
