In this conversation I'm joined by Kenzie of Photos By Kenzie Rae, she's a new mom who recently went full-time in her photography business so I absolutely had to sit down and have a conversation with her!

 We dive into the pivot moment that led her to becoming a photographer, what it means to her ; how she makes her clients "milestone moments" an everlasting memory of seeing themselves in their best light.

As a new mom and a newly full-time photographer we touched on how motherhood has affected her, as well as her views on career life overall. 

This was a really wonderful conversation we had and I think it touches on some really good points between the balance of motherhood, and the value of preserving our 'milestone moments'

Topics we cover include AI Photography, Megamind, Motherhood, Career, Balancing it all, and the hardest thing for most moms: Asking for help, this was a really great conversation and if you tune in I think you're going to love Kenz as much as I do

Everyone says to build addictions....I mean habits 🤭 in order to have a successful business, I think they're one and the same if you look at it from the right angle!

If you can master getting "addicted" to productivity for your business, it'll make needle-moving tasks a lot easier!

In this episode I’ve brought on my good friend and fellow brand and web designer Marlene, the founder of Good Day Studio; a brand and web design studio serving women’s health practitioners in order to connect them with more women who need their expertise and compassion

She shares her journey over the last several months of learning Framer as a complete beginner in just 1-Hour a day while she manages motherhood, life, and all the things. She touches on her own personal experiences that led her to the industry she serves now and how exactly Framer makes it so easy to get the job done for her clients

we share some laughs, some shoutouts, some brain pauses, and a little bit of Spanish speaking in our conversation together, it’s a really great conversation if you’re looking to hear how you can find time to learn a new skill where it feels like there’s no time, and also if you’re interested in hearing a bit about what Framer is like as a website builder.

If you just want to hear 2 moms laugh and ramble together while forgetting words mid-sentence, we had those moments too😅❤️

In this episode we're talking about the overlooked resource that many see as an option and sometimes even a burden; sleep. If we didn't have to sleep we'd have soo much more time to do the things we want to do.

However, we DO need sleep, so I share some insight into how I'm navigating getting sleep, being a mom/wife, and building business. I know, I know...I'm totally wonder woman, you caught me on a good day.

In this episode I’m diving into the mental (over)load of motherhood combined with entrepreneurship. As the number of moms starting businesses and side-hustles continues to increase, I feel like it’s important to bring light to how heavy the weight is and the overwhelm that can come with it. 

If you’re a mom who’s experiencing overwhelm and overload in her life, feel free to reach out and share your experience. Sometimes it feels good to just vent all the frustrations , and you don’t have to have a business in order to look for support. Life is a lot, Parenting can be a lot, and I’m here to support you!❤️🫶🏽
