Hey Rebels, this one’s for you if you’ve ever felt stuck, unseen, or out of alignment with your values. On today’s episode of the "Get Shit Done" podcast, I sat down with Haley Atkins, the brilliant photographer-turned-coach behind Nota Lux. And let me just say, her story will leave you shook.
Haley didn’t just survive an abusive relationship during the pandemic—she thrived. She launched her photography biz in 2021and then flipped the script entirely. Now? She’s on a mission to empower women through transformational photography.
Here’s what we’re diving into:
✨ Why photography is more than pictures—it’s a way to see your strength and potential.
✨ Hailey’s journey from wedding shoots to empowerment sessions and how she creates a safe space for women to show up authentically.
✨ The emotional side of photos and how self-care + alignment = unstoppable energy for YOU and your business.
