S1E4: Not Qualified? You aren't alone. Mar 06, 2019

Show notes

This week's episode you get all of me, your host, Katie Sharp. I share about how I'm not qualified to host a podcast, in the typically sense. I don't share this to downgrade myself at all, but rather to encourage you, my listeners, that you don't need all of the puzzle pieces before you start.

Obviously I did launch this project despite these reasons of being unqualified, so listen as to why I DID launch, what my mantra has become the past few years, and how I'm living out "Flawed and Fearless" in my daily life.

At the end of the episode, I share about four women who I'm inspired by online who I believe do an excellent job of sharing their flaws vulnerably in front of their online audiences. Below are links to their Instagram pages if you would like to follow any of these authentic and inspiring accounts. Enjoy learning more about the "why" behind Flawed and Fearless today!

S1E3: An Acrobatic Balancing Act with Jenny Hansen Lane Feb 27, 2019

Show notes

I'm thrilled to introduce you to Jenny Hansen Lane today! Jenny is a photographer, creative, and mom of three boys. Her purpose as a luxury portrait photographer exists to create images after you are gone. She immortalizes love and legacies.

In our interview, Jenny shares about her balancing act that resembles an acrobat juggling many different plates on their hands and feet. The speed of each plate spinning isn’t identical to the other, as she reminds herself, “don’t drop the plates.” She keeps those plates spinning through prioritizing responsibilities as a business owner, mom, and more. One of her secrets to this balancing act includes her 8 babysitters!

Listen as Jenny opens up about staying positive and passionate through grieving loss, how she executes the spiritual world into physical, and what perceived balance means to her.

She recently moved from Lexington, KY to Washington, D.C., where she works full-time while growing her online business and inspiring women everywhere. She is an advocate in embracing the shoulder pads in vintage finds – “keep those shoulder pads in!”
