In this episode, I’m getting real about failure—specifically, my failure as a photographer. I’m sharing why I could never master the technical side of photography, how I found my own way forward, and why that’s actually a win for you.
We’re talking about:
✨ Why I resorted to a staple gun and Sharpie for my wallpaper (and what that taught me about visibility).
✨ How I failed to become a “real” photographer and embraced what felt true for me instead.
✨ The difference between sitting with discomfort and knowing when it’s time to pivot.
✨ How my failures led me to build a career I love—one that aligns with my instincts, brings me joy, and helps others step into their own spotlight.
Plus, I’ll give you practical tips on:
- Recognizing when discomfort is a sign to grow or a sign to let go.
- Finding your own way through challenges (even if it’s unconventional).
- Following ease and joy to build a life and career that feels like home.
Key Moments:
- [0:00] Intro and the wallpaper story
- [3:30] Why I’m a failed photographer (and why that’s great for you)
- [6:00] The problem with perfection in photography (and life)
- [9:00] How I followed what felt right and created my own method
- [12:30] When to sit with discomfort vs. when to pivot
- [15:00] Why I love what I do now: Photo Club, producing shoots, and more
- [18:00] Practical takeaways for your visibility journey
Takeaways:
- Your path doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s to work for you.
- Failure isn’t an end; it’s a pivot point.
- Embrace your instincts, find what feels natural, and let go of the pressure to “do it right.”
