Have you ever had one of those weeks where your to-do list just stares at you like, “Yeah… you’re never finishing me”? Same.

Between work, life, family, endless responsibilities, and trying to remember what sleep feels like (hiii mom life!), it can feel hard to even think about making time for your photography dreams, let alone actually work towards them.

Here’s the thing though, no matter how busy life feels, you can make space for your photography and your dreams.

You just need a way to carve out time, even when it feels like there’s none left.

And trust me, I know the feeling—wanting to do everything but somehow doing nothing—you blink and suddenly it’s 10 p.m. and you’re staring at your phone like, ‘Wait, where did the day go?’

That’s why, in this week’s podcast episode, we’re talking about exactly that—how to turn those overwhelming, anxious feelings into action. Spoiler Alert: It’s not about having more time, it’s about using the time you’ve got.

Here’s a little sneak peek of what we’re talking about:

• How to stop feeling like a deer in headlights when you look at your to-do list and start actually moving forward
• The magic of setting one big, bold goal that gets you excited—and then breaking it down into manageable steps
• How to find your “golden hours” and use them to make serious progress (even if it’s just 15 minutes at a time!)

This isn’t about adding more to your plate—it’s about finding freedom in the small, intentional steps that get you closer to your dreams. And the best part? It’s not about perfection. It’s about showing up for yourself, consistently, even when life feels too busy.

You don’t have to wait for the “perfect moment” to chase your photography dreams.

The perfect moment is right now.

Every small step you take adds up to something bigger.

So if you’re ready to turn that busy, overwhelming feeling into something productive and meaningful, this episode is for you.

Social media used to feel SO fun.

I mean, think back to the days when we’d just take a photo with our iphone, slap the Valencia filter on it and call it a day.

It was so simple back then, so pure...

But then came the algorithm...

And with it, the never ending demand for MORE!

More likes, more followers, more content… more, more, more!

It kinda becomes exhausting, doesn’t it?

As photographers, we pour our hearts into our work, only to feel like we're constantly chasing something that keeps moving further away.

And then you add in the constant stream of heartbreaking news every time you open the app—the world seemingly on fire—it can make sharing your art feel almost pointless.

It’s hard not to wonder if what we create even makes a difference when the world feels so heavy.

Maybe you’ve been feeling it too, and if so, it's important to remember that art has the power to bring light, hope, and connection—even when it feels like everything is falling apart.

Your creativity deserves to be seen, and it IS possible to reconnect with the joy that brought you to social media in the first place.

And I’m sharing all about it in today’s podcast episode, we’re talking…

• finding that spark again
• making social media work for you,
• what’s been making me feel disconnected from IG and how I’m bringing that joy back
• how to stay true to yourself and your craft, even when the world feels like it’s falling apart

Well, hiiiiiiii friend! 👋

It’s been a while, but I’m back in your inbox…and so is The Photographer’s Podcast. 🥹

But, in all honesty, I’m actually not really back. Not the whole way, at least.

Because this whole becoming a mom thing has changed me, and I’m not the same person anymore. Who am I? I’m not quite sure yet, but I do know I feel different. I’m a different business owner, a different photographer, a different wife, a different human.

And, most importantly, mom to two little angel babies.

So, again, Hi! I’m here and the podcast is back, and I’m so excited to be showing up for you in this way again.

And before I say any more I need to say thank you.Thank you, thank you, thank you for being here too, and allowing me to take this pause.

I can’t tell you how much it means, and how thankful I am to each and every person in this incredible, beautiful community.

To kick off disappearing from the world for a while (and new-era-of-Nicole), I’m sharing a very honest deep dive into the last 9 months of my life on today’s episode.

I’m so glad to be back, different and all.
