Episode 11: In-Between: The 365, Part 1 Jun 21, 2019

Show notes

We love personal projects! A 365 is simply a project you commit to doing everyday for one year. For photographers, that means taking a photo everyday. Personal projects (and especially ones you commit to do everyday) are a great way to expand your creativity, tap in to your voice, grow as an artists, and simply document life. Today we're chatting about why we love them, how they help us, and the tips we gathered along the way.

Jenny Stein is the beloved host of the popular podcast, The Family Photographer.

She shared her thoughts on managing social media when it comes to our children, and how we interact with it ourselves, especially knowing that we are only seeing other people's highlight reels. We talked about Jenny's passion for 365 projects, why she does them, and how they've evolved through the years. She shares why she believes that personal projects are so important for our wellbeing as moms and what she's learned by doing them.

Episode 9: In-Between: Fitting In vs Belonging Jun 14, 2019

Show notes

Today it's another in-between episode and we're talking about a topic on our hearts - fitting in vs. belonging. We talk about what the two concepts mean to us, and why so many of us feel the need to fit in so that we can be validated by our community. Where do we look for validation? Who do we create for? Why do we want to fit in so much?

Curiousity is a beautiful way to figure out who you are and what makes you uniquely you. Ask questions, explore your passions and interests, and go within to find your own acceptance and true belonging. This is the work that we all have to do, our contracts as humans, to find ourselves and our own internal knowing that we inherently belong, that we are inherently worthy.

Courtney shares her journey to photography and why she always had a creative & entrepreneurial spirit. She talks about how she balances being a mother to three kids while running a business as well as a community of photographers as the Director of Click Pro, and how she avoids mom guilt while she's at it. She shares her thoughts on being valued as an artist and why making money is never something we should be ashamed of. Her advice to newer photographers is to crunch the numbers and know your worth, because you can't live off of passion alone. Thanks Courtney for so much amazing advice and inspiration!
