  • 170: Why Diversifying Revenue Is a Power Move (Not a Sign You’re Falling Out of Love With Photography)

    170: Why Diversifying Revenue Is a Power Move (Not a Sign You’re Falling Out of Love With Photography)
    Jan 26 2026

    What if your booked-out calendar and successful photography business weren’t the final destination, but the launchpad to something even better?

    The truth is, wanting to diversify your income isn’t a sign that you're falling out of love with your photography business. It’s the next evolution of it. If you're a photographer who has reached mastery in your craft and built a stable, respected brand, then adding new revenue streams isn’t a pivot—it’s a power move.

    Let’s talk about what happens after you "make it." Your calendar is full. Your pricing is solid. Your work is consistent. Clients are raving, and from the outside, everything looks perfect. And yet, there’s this quiet nudge that maybe you’re meant for something more.

    In this Episode:

    • Why diversification is a power move, not a pivot
    • The difference between reactive and strategic income expansion
    • How to expand beyond client work without losing your identity or burning everything down


    Find It Quickly:

    00:00 - Why diversifying your income can feel uncomfortable (and totally normal)

    02:16 - Wanting more money ≠ falling out of love with photography

    07:11 - How one income stream can quietly drain your creativity

    13:31 - Protecting your energy, boundaries, and joy

    20:11 - Aligned ways photographers can diversify without burning out

    26:46 - Seeing diversification as growth, not quitting

  • 169: Too Many Ideas, Not Enough Time: How to Decide What to Work on Next

    169: Too Many Ideas, Not Enough Time: How to Decide What to Work on Next
    Jan 19 2026

    Every day in business and life, we make hundreds of decisions, both big and small. If you’ve ever wondered how to choose what truly matters when everything feels important, this episode is for you. I’m unpacking exactly how I make choices in my business and life from a place of clarity, confidence, and alignment (without burnout or guilt).

    Today’s episode was inspired by an audience question about how to decide what to say yes to when so many things feel worthy of our attention. I walk through the internal process I use, from defining priorities and identifying seasons to journaling, praying, and even sleeping on decisions before choosing. I share personal stories about opportunities I passed on because they weren’t aligned with where I was going or the season I was in, and how those choices shaped who I’m becoming.

    In this Episode:

    • Explore a framework for choosing what truly matters
    • Hear questions to ask yourself before saying yes
    • A mindset shift that removes perfection and replaces it with direction

    • 07:30 - Defining Priorities and Values
