So… Is Your Higher Self the Same as Source?

By The Artful Woman
  Not exactly. Think of it like this: Source is the origin —pure consciousness, God/Goddess/Divine Light, whatever you want to call it. It’s the everything-and-nothing energy from which all things come. Your Higher Self is your personal bridge to Source. It’s your soul in its purest form , untainted by fear, ego, or human distortion. Your Higher Self is you , just on the zoomed-out level —the version of you that remembers the full story, all lifetimes, all lessons, all missions. So: Source is the sun. Your Higher Self is the sunbeam that still holds its essence but is uniquely you . Is Your Higher Self Your Soul? Pretty much— but here's the nuance: Your soul is eternal. It’s the part of you that has lived countless lives. Your Higher Self is like the fully awakened version of your soul —the one not currently squeezed into a human body trying to pay bills and avoid family drama. When you're in human form, you're kind of like the tip of the i...

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.

Why Your Coach’s Character Matters Just as Much as Their Skills

By The Artful Woman
Why Your Coach’s Character Matters Just as Much as Their Skills I recently had an eye-opening experience with someone I had followed and admired for her grit and tenacity. Like me, she took a leap, leaving the career she trained for to turn her passion into a business. As a marketing coach, she built her brand during COVID, mastering skills I hadn’t focused on because I was healing from a stroke. Now that I’m back, I’ve been exploring what’s new in the field, and I was excited to see her “no fluff” approach to success. In our profession, it’s common for coaches to talk about mindset and resilience. To “walk the walk” and “talk the talk” are mantras we’re all familiar with, and as both a life and transformational coach, these principles are everything to me. For my clients, unshakable tenacity is part of what I bring to the table every day, and I admired that she seemed to embody this too—or so I thought. She scheduled a training right after the recent election, which I thought showed t...

Whether you want financial abundance, a thriving business, fulfilling relationships, or better health, the key lies in how you set your intentions and follow through. Many people struggle with manifestation because they lack clarity, fail to engage their emotions, or get discouraged when results don’t appear overnight.

In this post, I’ll break down the exact steps you need to take to manifest your goals successfully.  Here are the five actionable techniques for manifestation: Set a Clear Intention – Define exactly what you want to have, do, or be.

The Healing Power of Dance: Movement for the Mind, Body, and Soul

By The Artful Woman
The Healing Power of Dance: Movement for the Brain, Body, and Soul Dance is more than just an art form—it's a powerful tool for healing, self-expression, and brain health. Whether it's a joyful movement to music or a structured practice, dance engages the brain in ways that promote neuroplasticity, coordination, and emotional well-being. For stroke survivors like myself, dance offers an incredible way to reconnect with the body, rebuild strength, and restore confidence. Why Dance is Good for the Brain Movement is medicine, and dance is a particularly potent prescription. Here’s how dance benefits the brain: ✅ Boosts Neuroplasticity – Dance encourages the brain to form new neural connections, which is essential for stroke recovery. The combination of rhythm, movement, and coordination strengthens cognitive function. ✅ Improves Balance and Mobility – Stroke often affects coordination and stability, but dance can help retrain the body to move with more ease and control. ✅ Reduce...
