Turning a creative passion into a business, can be such a beautiful thing.
When you can put food on the table for your family doing a job that fills your cup & lights you up, it really is a "pinch me" moment.
It's not always so beautiful though.
Turning a creative passion into a business can also come with many, many challenges and if you're not intentional about how you operate your business, you can easily become consumed in it, working 24/7.
Leading to overwhelm and self doubt.
While I can't claim to have "figured it all out" or that I've found balance yet (does that even exist?)
As a busy Māmā of 3, and someone who has invested in a lot of mentoring and education myself, I've certainly learnt a thing or two over the years.
I've also done the reps, putting the things I've learnt into action, and continued to learn and grow from every shoot I do.
What I do know and have learnt over this time, I’m always happy to share. A genuine open book. So whether it's helping you improve systems and workflows to get your time back. Or refining your camera skills, and posing, so you can gain some newfound confidence in yourself to show up and get back to work. I'm here to support you and can't wait to walk and keep growing alongside you!
“Thank you for such a wonderful workshop, I feel like I learnt SO much and have already started working away trying to put in place so many things. Really appreciate how open and willing you were to share so much of the back end stuff too, it's been so helpful, and I feel like I've had so many light bulb moments around all that stuff too. You are such a natural educator “

"my favourite part was just having a chance to have free and open conversation with Cat and Nami. You guys weren't afraid to share everything you know. There was no sense of pride or anything about the day. You were both so humble and loving in your approach and that made it so easy to learn and created such a safe place to ask questions and grow. Thank you both so much."

how to work with me:
COme behind the scenes.
After years of putting my personal health on the back burner and working until 2am after the kids were asleep, I'm finally prioritising health and wellbeing again, and no longer subscribing to the hustle/burn out culture.
To do this, I'm currently in a massive overhaul process of the entire back end of my business and starting to outsource more areas of the business. This isn't an overnight process however, in fact, much to the despise of my impulsive self, it's a VERY slow journey that is also requiring a lot of patience and personal development.
During this period of time, I have decided to no longer offer mentoring or workshop services. (Don't worry, I will be back! I have LOVED my time dabbling in education!)
In the meantime however, I will soon be sharing the behind the scenes of my overhaul process via weekly updates to my mailing list.
So if you're also on a journey of running a successful business that doesn't require you to give up all your family time, health and wellbeing, make sure to subscribe and follow along!
