I think you know where this is going...
The answer was a big fat NO! Although I'm wildly passionate about my business as a wedding photographer, my 50s (and truthfully, even my 40s) look very different than bopping from venue to venue every Saturday all Summer long, popping more Veuve than one woman can possibly hope to drink.
It seemed like a simple realization, but that's far from the truth. Knowing that I wouldn't be working as a professional photographer into the second half of my life left me completely rudderless.
There was going to be a Career Two... but what was it? I couldn't get that term off my mind; career two... career two...

And while I didn't know any of the pieces of the puzzle of what that second act would hold, I knew that I could start putting in the work NOW, so that I'd be ready to take the reigns as soon as I felt it was the right time to hang up my camera.
One year later, the podcast was born. I started documenting my journey of transitioning my business. I knew I was laying the foundation for my next chapter, even though I didn't have a single clue about what that chapter would hold.
One year later, something clicked.
And that something is why you're here in this very moment.

This is a 3-month, one-on-one, virtual coaching program.
It includes a recorded 1-hour coaching call every 2 weeks for 3 months (6 calls in total.)
It includes access to course materials and online resources so that you can start showing up fully in your business, positioning yourself as an expert in your industry.
It includes enrolment in my signature online course, "SPIT IT OUT: Efficient Writing That Sells" -- which will help you expertly deliver your message across your entire business storefront, including copywriting for your website, email templates that sell and save you time, and social media content creation and captioning.
And you'll be working through weekly homework assignments and communicating with me throughout your program.
At some point I just got really sick of the fluff. I wished there was a way to listen to inspiring content without a bunch of fake enthusiasm and "extra" stuff. Long story short, I decided to make it happen.
I became obsessed with that feeling that hits me after a particularly inspiring coffee date with one of my likeminded girlfriends. I knew that I could replicate that feeling for my listeners, and the podcast was born.
It's called "You Might Not Like It" because that was my greatest fear -- that I would create this thing and that no one would listen. But that's the funny thing about fear, as soon as you put a name to it, it loses its power.
That name reminds me every single day to go after the things I want so deeply, unabashedly, and without fear. It reminds me that I'm the one who holds the power here.

A special episode to celebrate a big podcast milestone -- enjoy this mashup of some of my favourite interview moments of all.
Spoiler: it doesn't fix your problem. Even bigger spoiler: your clients feel it, see it, and have a tendency to give it right back to you.
Tips for scheduling your time to take advantage of your most creative hours -- they are not all created equal! Here's how to get more focus, and less distraction.
I didn't know it at the time, but falling flat on my face is 100% the reason I am where I am today -- listen to this episode for a reminder that losses have value.
Negative thoughts keep us from growing, keep us from STARTING something that we are SO ready for! But what if discomfort is actually a barometer for growth?
There are some red flags to look for, some tests you can do, and some inner work that will help you come face to face with the truest answers, even if they’re hard to hear.
These lessons are priceless. I wish I knew them back in the early days of starting my business -- they would have saved me from SO many mistakes!
No matter how experienced you are in your business, this free e-book is a game changer, and I can't wait for you to dive in...!
