Ever had one of those moments where you seriously considered throwing in the towel on your photography business? I definitely have. In this vulnerable episode, I'm sharing the story of my lowest point as a photographer—when I was working 60+ hour weeks, shooting 25+ weddings a year, and somehow still stressed about money every single month.

This isn't just a "things got better" story. It's about the specific mindset shifts and practical changes that transformed my relationship with my photography business from something that was draining my life to something that actually serves it.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• The exact moment I realized I was building an expensive hobby, not a business
• Why "just work harder" was keeping me broke and burned out
• The calculator results that changed everything (spoiler: they weren't pretty)
• How I went from feast-or-famine to consistent income without working more hours
• The real difference between busy photographers and profitable photographers
• 
  

Perfect for: Photographers who feel like they're working harder than ever but not seeing the financial results they want, anyone questioning if this whole photography business thing is actually sustainable, and those ready to stop trading time for money.
