a quick post, as I will be spending ALL day at Panera working on a lit review. Ugh. I really, and I mean REALLYYY cannot wait to be done with theorists and research and school in general. It’s going to be glorious!
So the beginning of the semester I did something I should have done a LONG time age! I rearranged my room/office. That’s right, my office and my bedroom are the same place and have been since the start of Inspired Designs. If you are new to the blog, you must know that I am still a full time college student and that one day I WILL have a real studio-style office! It’s going to be amazing!! I’m already thinking of colors and new sample canvases to order! But for now I will be content with my newly arranged room at school.
I live in an off campus house with 5 of my closest girlfriends! It’s amazing and I wouldn’t trade it for ANYTHING. Not even a studio. I’m trying to enjoy my last semester and still run the business. It’s quite a job but I think I can do it and having a fresh new space to work in has made it so much easier! (Fat Susan …my imac… has made it a lot easier too! I just love her:)
So here is the final product! Have I mentioned that I love TEAL?!
This week, Michael is sitting down with me at the microphone to join me on the podcast! When we started our Acton Academy journey, we had big dreams and very little idea of the practical challenges that lay ahead. Today, in year three of running our own Acton Academy, Michael and I are thrilled to reflect on the incredible transformation we’ve seen in our learners, our community, and even our own perspectives on education.
I had the pleasure of chatting with Erica and Jon, two incredibly talented photographers and educators who have redefined their business and life by embracing change. From leaving a corporate career to transforming their wedding photography business into a thriving brand photography venture, their story is full of inspiration for anyone looking to take bold steps and live life on their own terms.
I run a Facebook group with over 20,000 photographers, and something I see constantly are people sharing their editing struggles, asking for critiques, or seeking advice on how to fix issues in Lightroom.
This is going to go down as the wedding day were we got lucky over and over again. Blair and Ashley heard that there was a chance of rain on their wedding day but we all wrote it off as nothing and kept moving on with all of our original plans.
In the fast-paced world we live in, finding purpose and intention in everyday life can feel like a distant goal. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a parent, a creative, or simply someone searching for more meaning, this probably resonates with you! If you’ve been a longtime follower of the Katelyn James podcast, you know it’s always been about authenticity, growth, and family. So, we wanted the podcast to represent just that. Welcome to Doing Life Differently!
If you’re looking to build a personal brand that genuinely connects with people, you’re in the right place. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a creative, or just someone looking for more purpose in life, I think these insights will resonate with you.
