Social media has pros and cons, but it can be so easy to go down the rabbit hole of the scroll. I feel less creative & engaged if I am consuming more content than I am creating!
On the podcast, I am :
-
Recapping Youtube thoughts from last week
-
What’s happening in our personal life
-
Lastly, the idea that we have to create more than we consume
Have you ever had a wedding where not one, but two groomsmen pass out? This wedding was a way for me to show up confidently as a photographer and reassure our bride and groom that they would still get their dream wedding day, despite hiccups and ambulances! You can watch HERE! I’m telling you, it was a crazy day!
Now onto my thoughts on personal life and this idea of “we have to create more than we consume…” I have realized that if I follow this concept then my content just starts flowing effortlessly. If I spend less time looking at what everyone else has created and consuming everyone else’s stuff, I start seeing freedom, inspiration, new ideas and EXCITEMENT filter back into my life!
This came after I started noticing this pattern :
-
I get excited about something
-
I feel creative
-
I start digging into something
-
Then…life gets crazy.
So then I don’t get motivated and start scrolling on Instagram. I start surviving instead of THRIVING. I start believing lies that I have nothing left to offer BUT the truth is I have plenty to offer but I have to pour into myself, not consuming other people’s content because that will not give me ideas for my content! I want to share the content that I am EXCITED about and what inspires me, not because I am looking at other people’s stuff. The world does not need more stuff.
Friend, if you are an entrepreneur and you spend more of your time consuming other people’s thoughts, tips, advice of what you should and shouldn’t be doing, not only are you not giving yourself space to create your own content, you are going to be anxious because there is no way to listen and put into practice all the things you’re thrown at when you are scrolling.
Would love for you to join me in this conversation about how we can create our OWN content and stop consuming from everyone else! Be sure to listen to the whole podcast to hear my thoughts on what I am doing about this so that I can be a better business owner, wife, mom, friend! Let’s not be addicted to the “scrolling” world and be excited and inspired again!

A year ago, we promised to find a solution for those who were complaining about their R6 raw files looking dull and lifeless in Lightroom. However, due to various circumstances, we couldn’t deliver on that promise until now.
Kelly is an incredible wedding photographer who has been shooting 90 weddings a year. I know, it sounds unbelievable, but it’s true! Kelly’s success and the volume of work she handles is truly impressive.
Your sessions should be working FOR you not against you!
