There have been a few conversations in our life that I still remember to this day, and have completely changed our business. Yes, these conversations can be challenging but if we're willing to put in the hard work it can be so rewarding.

I'm really working on habit stacking and my Lume Box is the best tool in my toolbox to really make sure I'm focusing on my health and well-being while simultaneously getting ready for the day or reading at night.

Ep. 23 | Escaping the Endless Scroll Jun 29, 2023

Show notes

Social media has pros and cons, but it can be so easy to go down the rabbit hole of the scroll. I feel less creative & engaged if I am consuming more content than I am creating.

So how do we break the cycle?! Join me in the conversation on social media!

Ep. 22 | The Gift of AI on our Mental Health Jun 15, 2023

Show notes

Almost every business uses technology in one way or another.. which means AI can affect every business! And we've heard the grumblings and praise of AI. In our industry you’ll hear anything from “This thing is insane, man!” to “Photography is now a dying art”.
But I think there's a different way to look at it and see new possibilities in your mindset and business!

Ep. 20 | Re-Defining Mentorship in Business & Life May 18, 2023

Show notes

Talking through my predetermined expectations about mentorship has allowed me to experience freedom by unraveling, unmasking and redefining certain parts of my life that I have never considered before. I have been in the process of redefining what my capabilities and my capacities as a mentor really are and not letting my past definition of mentorship define what my capability is. I hope you’ll join me in thinking through what parts of your life are longing to be redefined to experience more freedom!!!

Ep. 19 | Reflecting on the Life of Baby James - 5 Years Later May 03, 2023

Show notes

Five years ago we were walking through the end of the hardest journey we had ever been on. On May 1st, 2019 we said hello and goodbye to our precious second child. Baby James was diagnosed with severe complications from Down Syndrome at his 20 week ultrasound and we were given the privilege of loving a baby we wouldn't get to keep. For three months we celebrated the life we had with him inside of me. We loved him while we had him and that love continues even now, five years later. My hope is that this episode will bring some hope and light to the lives of those walking through loss and heartache.

Ep. 18 | Life & Business with Shay Cochrane Apr 20, 2023

Show notes

I couldn't be more excited about this episode. Shay is a dear friend, fellow business owner, believer, photographer, wife, mom and visionary. Her story is one of my favorites because her convictions about her time, her balance, and her business constantly call me up to a higher level of intentionality. She's the perfect example of what it looks like to have a friend that breathes life and new inspiration into your life! After reading that, doesn't it make sense why she would be the FIRST GUEST on the podcast?! Enjoy our conversation about life and business!

Ep. 17 | The HEART Behind KJ AA 2.0 Apr 01, 2023

Show notes

This episode is most definitely a TEASER episode! KJ All Access 2.0 has not yet been released but it's coming and it's well worth the wait!! In this episode, I'm honestly sharing the backstory of my heart behind the changes that our students will be seeing very soon! The reason I'm sharing all of this is because my experience isn't unique. This is a common occurrence for business owners but I think many overlook the signs and red flags that I mention in this episode and that leads them to being "stuck"!! My hope is that this story will shed some light on the journey it has been to get me to a point where I was totally honest about what I needed to do with this part of my business! Enjoy!

Ep. 16 | Miles' Birth Story: The Homebirth I Always Dreamed Of Mar 22, 2023

Show notes

Wow. Prepare yourself for a very long and dare I say overly passionate episode about not just my latest birth experience but ALL of my birth experiences. I think my passion about this topic stems from not just the passion I have for my children but for the way God used my children and their births to transform me into a new version of myself. If someone was to say "Katelyn, what is your greatest accomplishment in your life?" my answer would be my children. From my pregnancies to their births and the journey we're on raising them... being a parent is the greatest calling of my life. Learning to stand up for myself and trust who I was as a mom started before my first baby was even born and I'm grateful for the challenges that ultimately led me through the last 5 years and to my final birth this past month. Listen to hear my birth story and how my challenges pushed me to find the most beautiful birth experience I never imagined myself ever desiring!

Ep. 15 | The Realities of Scaling an Online Business Feb 09, 2023

Show notes

Recently a CNBC article was written about me and my business. While I am honored and excited that the article was able to share more about the success we've found over the years, the article doesn't paint the full picture of what it takes to scale a business of this size. In this episode I chat through my thoughts on the realities of scaling a business from my perspective and how scaling can look different for everyone.
If you haven't read the article yet you can find it here.
