A Peptalk for the TryHards

Listen on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify 

Have you ever felt a little embarrassed by how hard you have to try to make your photography business work? Have you felt that struggle to get it off the ground only to have friends and family talk to you like it’s a little hobby you do on the side? In this week’s episode, we talk about how we all feel like we are not good enough or that we are pretending to be someone we are not at some point in our lives. Imposter syndrome always creeps in. I talk about what that feels like and some ways to push through it so that we can serve the people we are meant to serve and do the things that bring purpose.

I talk about:

  •  The comparison being the thief of joy and how we should only look at our own growth for comparing. 
  • The importance of our job as photographers
  • Staying in love with your photography business
  • How being a tryhard is not a bad thing

My first business was behind the camera, and thanks to the right website and systems, it now runs mostly in the background — bringing in clients while I focus on helping solopreneurs like you build brands that book.

Whether I’m behind the lens or behind a screen, I’m all about finding simpler, smarter ways to grow a sustainable business — with clear messaging, clean design, solid boundaries, and a little help from AI.

Because between carpools, practice runs, and Knowledge Bowl meets, I need a business that works even when I’m not.
