Who wants to increase their efficiency in 2021? *all the hands go up* @jessicawhitaker is an efficiency queen who somehow does all the things and was willing to share all her tips with us on the podcast. We talk tracking your mood, optimization, time management, and why outsourcing isn’t always what you need. If you’re trying to crack down on your organization in the New Year, you’ve got to go tune into our conversation. It’s available wherever you listen to podcasts. If you’ve already listened, would you let us know one tip that stood out to you? 
Does the new year ahead feel clear or misty? Remember that there can be beauty in the uncertainty. There’s a golden glow that only comes with the unknown. After 2020, I think we all have realized that life is absolutely unpredictable. Nothing is for sure. This year may have made some of us feel lost at times, but sometimes you need to get lost to find what you are looking for. You are on the right path. You are making the most out of your challenges. You are light bursting forth. You are stepping into creativity and your unique voice. And every step of the way, I’m cheering you on. Photo by: @fsstudioart #emotionalstorytelling 
Embrace the damn storm. If I could have you walk away with any piece of advice from everything I put out for you, it’d be EMBRACE THE STORM. Sure, Embracing The Storm is the title of my signature editing course, but it’s so much more than that. It’s about realizing that the best skies are the biggest gamble – do you reschedule when weather looks iffy? No, you might make some magic. It’s also about embracing the chaos of life and business and not being afraid to lean into the wind – because there might be magic on the other side of your fear. Does your life feel a little chaotic after 2020? Are you trying to figure out how to grow a business and stay fulfilled as an artist while navigating restrictions and suddenly being a homeschool mom? If the weather looks iffy, know that there might actually be your best work and your best self on the other side of the storm. Keep going. Be kind with yourself. Look up and get inspired by what’s happening around you. Connect deeply – so deeply that you can hear the whisper of your soul no matter how loud the thunder booms. Embrace the damn storm. You’ll never regret it. Photos by @juliahausphoto #emotionalstorytelling #embracethestorm 
Do you have a “word of the year?” Have you ever thought about having a word for your photography? Let’s try a little experiment! Come up with one word that you want to encompas the art you create. Obviously, there’s room to explore beyond, but tell me what you’re going for in terms of mood. See, when I look at @floragibsonphotography’s work, I think “dreamy.” It’s a crystal clear vibe. Isn’t it funny how sometimes it’s easier to do these exercises for others than ourselves? But you’re worth do it for yourself. So tell us – what’s your word? 
Welcome to 2021! I’m so excited to see the MAGIC this community creates this year!! I’m bracing myself to be blown away. 🤯 What are your goals for 2021? How do you hope to grow as a photographer and business owner? Photo by @endsoftheearthinnovations #emotionalstorytelling
