She believes whole-heartedly in “girl power” and her life’s work is to make sure women know how important and special they are through high-end photography experiences laden with stellar customer service and pampering.

What's Covered in this Episode This episode is one of my faves, for sure. Kara is super funny and easy to talk to, and one of the most focused, hard-working women I've met. Her commitment to her work and bringing her visions to life is quite inspiring. In our conversation, we talked about...
Why Kara focuses on boudoir, and why it's important for her. Why it's worth it to hold out for the boudoir photographer you want. How Kara keeps her work fresh and interesting with a very regimented schedule (she's booked out for the rest of the year, ya'll!) Balancing life with a husband who is also an entrepreneur and two kids. What Kara is doing to expand her experience in 2018. This episode is really candid, funny, and inspiring. Kara is one of my favorite entrepreneurs right now and you will LOVE this conversation. Enjoy!!

About Dana Dana Roquemore is the founder of The Dinner Party Project. I was first introduced to Dana's work through Jenny Joy, who was a guest on Season 1 of The Audacity of She. Aside from the fact that her name is Dana Marie and mine is Dana Cherie, I had a feeling that we needed to connect because we're both interested in bringing people together for good conversation.
What's Covered in this Episode In this conversation, Dana and I talk about...
her early days as a stylist and event planner. How she decided to quit her part-time job, let someone else run her small business, cleaned out her savings account, and took a sabbatical, spending 2 months in Australia and New Zealand with no intention other than to take a break Her return to Orlando, and how she was able to bring both her experience and her passion together to launch The Dinner Party Project, and Her struggles with business (she's inclined toward the creative), and how she's bringing in the support she needs to scale her business. We also touch on self-awareness and knowing who we are. Why it helps to know what makes you happy, stressed out, and what your triggers are. And getting healthy and whole, so you are really in touch with yourself and whatever role you choose.

What’s Covered in this Episode In this conversation, Tanya and I talk about…
How she stumbled into yoga as a way to heal. How she transitioned from the West Coast dot-com world of the 1990’s to being laid off, and now running a thriving school. the moment she knew she would teach yoga for the rest of her life, and how everything we experience brings us to “this point”. Doing what you love, staying fascinated and deepening your knowledge. Being willing to be helped, and mentoring others so they can be skillful. Tanya also shares why it’s so important to her to be in selfless service — being full enough inside so that she can give to others without any loss. Joyfully showing up and offering compassion, or kindness, or assistance, and the joys of seeing a person’s burdens lifted. And we touch on intuition and getting closer to the soul.
Tanya weaves a lot of travel into her life and though she lives in Minnesota, we chatted while she was abroad in London, which was pretty fun. Enjoy!
