This podcast is about integrating tried and true strategies that we know actually work - in life, business, self-help; with the science of unconscious programming & the magic of manifestation. I’m a certified life and business coach and a professional photographer who built a multiple six figure business with a degree in Psychology while being a mom to three little kids. I had zero business training, so I dug in, learned the methods and now I’m passing that all onto you! I’m a self described brain geek and have certifications in things like RRT, NLP, Neuro-encoding and Amen clinic brain training and I’m always interested in hearing what you have to say on the topic of brain rewiring too. In this podcast, our conversations range from photography how to’s, systems and business strategies to more woo-woo stuff like energy healing, human design & the basics of manifestation - because well, I’m just kind of all over the place. I know that most creative entrepreneurs ARE a little neuro-spicy so I want to fire up your super charged brains and show you what’s possible.

    Psycholytic Healing: Inside The Science of Low-Dose Ketamine Therapy

    Have feedback? Text us! Are you a female photographer looking for an amazing community? Apply for Elevate before December 20th Show Notes: This week I’m joined by Dr. Sharon Niv, cognitive psychologist and co-founder of Joyous, for a conversation that completely reframes what we think we know about ketamine treatment. Instead of the intense, dissociative experiences most people imagine, Sharon walks us through a gentler psycholytic approach that keeps you fully aware, engaged, and able to participate in your healing. We talk about how low-dose ketamine quiets the narrative mind, creates a sense of emotional spaciousness, and opens the door for real neuroplastic change. Sharon breaks down the science behind it, the spiritual implications of working in this state, and why this method is becoming a lifeline for people navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, and burnout. If you’ve ever been curious about the bridge between consciousness work, neuroscience, and practical mental health support, this episode will pull you in immediately.

    When Comfort is a Cage: Get Your Spark Back!

    Have feedback? Text us! BF SALES are HERE - grab UNAVOIDABLE asap before the price increases THE SHOW: If you've been coasting on autopilot, feeling strangely numb in a business you built with your whole heart, or wondering why midlife suddenly feels like a full-blown identity crisis, this episode is your wake-up call.  A lot of creatives hit their 40s and 50s only to realize comfort has quietly become a cage and the spark they used to trust has fizzled into burnout, resentment, or a “who even am I anymore” spiral. We’re talking uncomfortable truths, why your nervous system is fighting every change you say you want, and why no amount of strategy will move the needle if you’re operating from misalignment. If you’re nodding along because you know you’ve been keeping yourself safe instead of moving toward what’s actually calling you, you need to listen all the way through. And if you’re tired of repeating the same year on loop, if you’re craving clarity about who you’re becoming next, or if you’re ready to get out of your own way for real, the Unavoidable class is the work your future self has been begging you to do. I’ll also give you the quick rundown on my Black Friday deals, including Level Up, Creative Team Method, Senior Sunday, my pricing class, and Calibrate — but make no mistake, Unavoidable is the big one. If your comfort has become the cage, it’s time to get your spark back. Let’s go. Looking for 1:1 support in 2026? Grab a free call with me to chat: https://renee.io/bookacall Want to work with Renee?
