    Selfie Week: 🎧 Day 4 -- The Compliment Mindset #SelfietoSelfLove

    We’re really in the flow now. Today, I invite everyone to take an intentional moment with the compliments you’ve been receiving -- to let them land, even if just a little. There’s no pressure to fully believe them yet -- just practice staying open. ✨ “Maybe instead you say, thank you. You appreciate the curve of my hips. I can receive that.” Give a compliment, receive a compliment, and let yourself take one tiny step further into that magic today. And for fun, here's a blog post with some Empowerment Studio compliment tips! https://empowermentphotographer.com/blog/compliments-101-intersectional-empowerment-style 🤳🏼 Get our FREE selfie guide: https://empowermentphotographer.com/selfie 🔗 Sign up for the #SelfietoSelfLove Challenge: selfietoselflove.com 📸 Follow us on Instagram: @empowermentstudio__ 🌐 Learn more about our boudoir sessions and Empowerment Experience: empowermentphotographer.com 👥 Join our Facebook Group: The Empowerment Studio

    Selfie Week: 🎧 Day 3 -- Stretchy, Vulnerable, Playful #SelfietoSelfLove

    It's Day 3 of Selfie Week! This is one of my favorite days of the challenge -- it tends to feel a little more vulnerable, a little more growthy, and also super full of potential. If you're feeling daunted, that’s okay. Today’s about letting in some fun and support wherever you can -- music, movement, moisturizer, a friend cheering you on while you click the shutter. ✨ “Giving those compliments to other people can be a fortifying process for you as well.” Once you post your selfie, stick around and leave a few kind words for others. It really does make a difference. 🤳🏼 Get our FREE selfie guide: https://empowermentphotographer.com/selfie 🔗 Sign up for the #SelfietoSelfLove Challenge: selfietoselflove.com 📸 Follow us on Instagram: @empowermentstudio__ 🌐 Learn more about our boudoir sessions and Empowerment Experience: empowermentphotographer.com 👥 Join our Facebook Group: The Empowerment Studio

    Selfie Week: 🎧 Day 2 -- Golden Light, Grounded Body #SelfietoSelfLove

    Ooooh this one's fun. I had chills while I was recording it, I remember feeling so deeply that I was talking directly to all of you!! For Day 2 of Selfie Week, I guided a calming, grounding meditation to help you ease into taking your selfie. We breathed, imagined warm golden light filling our bodies, and connected with ourselves before picking up the camera. ✨ “Maybe we’re not going for a perfect final image—maybe we’re just setting out with the intention of existing in some photos.” Go post your Day 2 selfie in the group when you're ready. 🤳🏼 Get our FREE selfie guide: https://empowermentphotographer.com/selfie 🔗 Sign up for the #SelfietoSelfLove Challenge: selfietoselflove.com 📸 Follow us on Instagram: @empowermentstudio__ 🌐 Learn more about our boudoir sessions and Empowerment Experience: empowermentphotographer.com 👥 Join our Facebook Group: The Empowerment Studio

    068: Who are you today, Kinzie?

    Wayyyyy back in episode 65 (two episodes ago, hehe), Audy Avery and I talked about how we use the question "Who are you today?" as a starting point for our catch ups. It's really beautiful because it gives us space to share what's going on in our lives, but also to do a little check in -- where we get to notice what is shifting, and what has changed. And now it's my turn to share with y'all about what's been coming up for me lately. If you're nosy, curious, or just like to listen to a good yap, this will hopefully be a lovely episode for you to tune in to. We recorded this episode a while back, now, so I'm also going to be giving it a listen when the episode drops. I have a feeling past-me said something that now-me needs to hear -- and maybe that will be true for you too. I am learning to trust our timing implicitly. 🤳🏼 Get our FREE selfie guide: https://empowermentphotographer.com/selfie 🔗 Sign up for the #SelfietoSelfLove Challenge: selfietoselflove.com 📸 Follow us on Instagram: @empowermentstudio__ 🌐 Learn more about our boudoir sessions and Empowerment Experience: empowermentphotographer.com 👥 Join our Facebook Group: The Empowerment Studio

    067: Whoa, was Summer Break absolutely nuts for anyone else??!

    Episode six sevennn AKA oops we took the summer off AKA we're allowed to take breaks when we need them (did you know??)! Here's the thing. Summer was nuts. It's nuts every year but this year, we (I, Kinzie) tried something different. And it went different than I expected it to. That's okay! I kept my kid home for most of summer, ended up with more travel than anticipated, and had to drop the plastic balls to keep juggling the glass ones in the air. And what's wild is THAT'S ALLOWED. It's hard, these days, to give ourselves permission to be human but when we remember that (and remind each other about it), life can be a whole lot gentler. Anyways, we're back now and we love you and I can't wait to share all the episodes we have coming up for you! Missed ya, ya cuties! 🤳🏼 Get our FREE selfie guide: https://empowermentphotographer.com/selfie 🔗 Sign up for the #SelfietoSelfLove Challenge: selfietoselflove.com 📸 Follow us on Instagram: @empowermentstudio__ 🌐 Learn more about our boudoir sessions and Empowerment Experience: empowermentphotographer.com 👥 Join our Facebook Group: The Empowerment Studio

    066: Queer Standard Time and choosing epic levels of accommodation to care for our beautiful brains

    What if you stopped forcing your ADHD brain to work like everyone else's? This episode is about unmasking in the most practical sense -- because what if we could build our businesses and our lives around how we actually function instead of how we think we're supposed to do it. We talk about QST (Queer Standard Time), 23-minute appointment slots (though actually, since recording this episode, I'm exploring just having all of my appointments start at 5 mins after the half/hour), and my client who chose to do a $5.27 daily payment plan. Getting specific and creative about accommodation changes everything. This has honestly been such a game changer for me and so many people I know. Also in this episode (because we are who we are 😆) Rachael and I drift into Christmas Eve traditions and that one time I made out with a dude to the Phantom of the Opera. Lol, this is a chatty one and it's one of my favorite sorts of episodes to share. 🤳🏼 Get our FREE selfie guide: https://empowermentphotographer.com/selfie 🔗 Sign up for the #SelfietoSelfLove Challenge: selfietoselflove.com 📸 Follow us on Instagram: @empowermentstudio__ 🌐 Learn more about our boudoir sessions and Empowerment Experience: empowermentphotographer.com 👥 Join our Facebook Group: The Empowerment Studio
