    Lauren Carroll! Hear the story of this Ireland-based wedding photographer, and how her career took her from backstage with Steven Tyler in LA to traveling halfway across the globe to shoot weddings in Ireland.I can’t help but think that if I had been a back-stage assistant to Aerosmith, Green Day, the Jonas Brothers (and so many more that I’m forgetting), I’d find a way to drop that into every convo for the rest of time. Hehe…but not Lauren Carroll.I love her story. And I think you will, too....

Let’s just say I’m a work in progress.Luckily I met THE expert in this area, NJ Shelsby who sat down to give me some tips on how to get more done, with less stress. You see, she was overworked and stressed that it disrupted her family and health so much that she experienced a scary bout of short term memory loss.“I was driving to a doctor’s appointment and I couldn’t remember how to get there.

    23. My Biggest Lesson in 2023

    2023 was a really strange year for me and to be honest with you, it felt like I was riding a roller coaster at times. It was really hard at times. It was really beautiful and easy at times, and it all stemmed from the pivot that I've been making in my business while really starting a 2nd business. It's funny because so many people told me throughout the year, wow, you're crushing it. You are doing so well. So I wanted to give you an inside perspective on exactly what was happening on the insi...

Perfect Timing

Erica's first podcast was released when I needed it most. I needed and wanted to be grounded and I didn't know it. Erica did just that for me. You can hear how sweetly deliberate she is in sharing her thoughts and ideas with you as she so wants you to feel the hope and joy as she not only sees it but feels it. This podcast makes you take pause, exhale, helps you put a plan in place and just plain makes you feel better after you've listened to her. Every woman should make a Podcast date wit Erica and have her help you fulfill your life. I look forward to the next one!
