Walking the Edge: My Journey as an Empath Learning to Protect, Heal, and Shine

By The Artful Woman
For as long as I can remember, I’ve sensed things others couldn’t. Energies, presences, whispers from another realm—all mixed into the fabric of my everyday life. It wasn’t until much later that I understood why: I’m an empath. Being an empath means I absorb emotions and energies around me, sometimes to the point where it feels overwhelming. Negative energies, draining people—what I call “energy vampires” or “soul snatchers”—can knock me off balance if I’m not careful. For a long time, this sensitivity felt like a curse. But now, I see it as a gift—a calling. Encounters Beyond the Veil Throughout my life, I’ve had moments that defy logic. One night driving past a cemetery, I saw a pink orb-like form linger around my car. It felt playful and curious, not frightening—a gentle energy reaching out across the veil. But it wasn’t one of my guardian angels. I’ve felt their presence in other ways, and this orb was something else—something that just passed through, maybe just drawn to my l...

Set Your Mind for Success: 2025 Goals for Photographers & Creatives

Before we dive into setting goals and taking action in 2025, let’s talk about something even more important—your mindset. Success starts in your mind before it ever shows up in your business.

Before you begin your work each day, take a moment to visualize the success you want. See yourself fully booked, making great money, and doing work that excites you. Set a clear intention for the results you want—whether it’s landing new clients, increasing sales, or growing your brand.

Affirm your success with positive mantras:
✨ I am a successful photographer/creative.
✨ I attract dream clients who value my work.
✨ Money flows easily and abundantly to me.
✨ Every step I take brings me closer to my goals.

Your thoughts shape your reality. When you believe in your success, you naturally take the right actions to make it happen. So, as you set your goals for 2025, start with a powerful mindset—one that aligns with the success you’re creating.

Now, let’s get to work! 🚀


Marketing Goals for Photographers in 2025: Get Booked & Paid Without Burnout

Nothing changes unless you take action! I’ve been guilty of feeling inspired, then doing nothing. I don’t want that for you!

Here are some goals to help you implement what you’ve learned and grow your business this year:

  1. Focus on Revenue First – Start each day by doing what will get you to your income goal the fastest. Whether it’s running an ad, answering an email, responding to a text, making a call, or posting a blog—prioritize money-making tasks first. I’m not big on social media, but I love content marketing because it drives real results.

  2. Make a List – Identify the areas of your business you want to improve.

  3. Prioritize – Rank your list by what excites you most or what will have the biggest impact.

  4. Break It Down – Turn each goal into small, actionable steps. If it still feels overwhelming, break it down further. Remember—even baby steps count. Small steps turn into strides, then leaps and bounds!

  5. Set Due Dates – Give yourself realistic deadlines to stay accountable and avoid burnout.

  6. Batch Your Tasks – Group similar tasks together, like writing multiple emails at once or scheduling social media or blog posts, to maximize efficiency.

  7. Take Breaks – Overloading yourself stifles creativity. Step away when needed to recharge. Get up and move around, take a walk, or do something that re-inspires you.

  8. Get to Work! – Even the smallest steps create momentum. Use tools like Google Calendar to stay on track and turn “someday” into success.

Walking Away to Save Myself: Breaking the Chains of a Toxic Family

By The Artful Woman
  For years, I lived with trauma so deep it tried to silence me—but instead of breaking me, it made me defiant. Everything my mother said to tear me down, I resisted. I became everything she said I couldn’t be. My mother—the person who should have protected me—was instead the source of fear, pain, and rejection. She never offered love, safety, or validation. Instead, I lived in constant anxiety and terror. The beatings were daily. And when she wasn’t hitting me herself, she had trained my middle sister to take over. The abuse was relentless. Inescapable. This was my childhood: a house ruled by violence, fear, and control. What made it even darker was her involvement in witchcraft and black magic. She used it as a weapon—threatening me with curses, wishing me dead, and vowing she would outlive her children just to watch our lives unravel. I grew up under the heavy fear that I had been cursed by the one person who was supposed to nurture me. Her cruelty didn’t stop there. She often ...

Beauty, Brains & Boundaries

By The Artful Woman
    Why Worthy Women Are Done Apologizing for Wanting More As a young girl, I was an international model—traveling the world, young, beautiful, and financially independent. I was naturally drawn to powerful, intelligent, and successful men—not because I needed anything from them, but because I admired ambition. I respected men who could build something for themselves, because I was already building something for myself. But because I was beautiful, I was labeled. Assumed. Dismissed. "Gold digger" that type of judgment made me stay away from the very type of man I was genuinely aligned with. I didn’t want to be misunderstood. So I shrunk my desires and played it safe. And for that, I paid the price. As I got older, that stigma stuck. I found myself in a pattern of relationships with users, losers, and opportunists—men who took and took and gave nothing back. Men who drained my spirit, my finances, my peace. And I let it happen, because somewhere deep down, I still felt like I ...

When Nothing Is Happening, Make Shit Happen!

By The Artful Woman
June was slow. Like, dead quiet slow. No business. No momentum. It felt like everything was stuck. So I did something totally ordinary—but energetically powerful. I had a yard sale. Not just to make money (though that helped). I needed to MOVE energy. To release things. To stir the pot. To show the Universe that I wasn’t just going to sit there waiting. I was going to make shit happen . And guess what? I went from zero bookings to FIVE bookings this month. Coincidence? I don’t think so. Money is energy. Movement is energy. Letting go is an invitation for more. Sometimes we think we have to wait until the “right thing” comes along, or until we “feel ready.” But the truth is, energy responds to action. When you move—even in a small way—you signal the Universe that you’re open, available, and in the flow . So if you’re in a lull, don’t panic. Clean your space. Sell stuff. Shake things up. Move your body. Make a call. Say yes to something random. Create momentum from where...
