Are you ready to chat about the dance between creativity, self-care, and business?

If the answer is YES!

Or if you are curious how these energies weave together to create a beautiful life, trust me, you'll want to stick around for this episode.

Join me and my guest, the incredibly talented artist and photographer Lisa Fonville owner of Hemlock House Photography, as we delve into a hard-hitting discussion on these topics and more.

Lisa is an accomplished photographer and she has done a lot of her own internal soul work. She offers an invaluable perspective on societal pressures, the power of rest and recharge, and loving your body as it is now (not when you lose 10 lbs.).

In our conversation, we take an honest look at the ego and its role in creativity. Lisa shares her experiences using her photography as a medium for healing, creating a therapeutic experience for her clients.

Whether you're a budding entrepreneur, a seasoned business owner, or working a 9-5, this episode is a treasure trove of insights waiting to be discovered.

Are you stuck in a cycle of enabling behavior in your relationships? We've all been there, starting with good intentions, then slowly descending into burdening obligations. Together, we'll navigate this challenging terrain, understanding the difference between helping and enabling- enabling being a trap we often fall into, unknowingly. We'll equip you with strategies to stay in the helping zone, fostering healthier, more harmonious relationships.

Next up, we'll break down the nitty-gritty of shifting from enabling to helping, especially in emotionally charged situations. It starts with recognizing your needs, setting boundaries, and having open conversations. It’s time to prioritize self-care and not carry the weight of the world.

Graduate to empowering self-growth, replacing that nagging negative chatter with affirmations of possibility.

By understanding enabling versus helping, you pave the way for a life filled with supportive relationships and joy.

Have you ever been trapped in a loop, replaying negative events or conversations in your mind, weeks or even years after they've happened?

This is a sign that you're harboring resentments- emotions weighing you down and hindering your progress in your relationships and life.

Join me, Mrs. Hard, as we journey together to let go of this debilitating feeling. Learn how to release pent-up anger and frustration toward others and clarify the path forward. As a bonus, I'll share some essential wellness coaching resources.

Get ready to take a step toward emotional freedom!
