Help Me See: Photo Consciousness with Bianca Lea Morra
Help Me See is a living audio journal about the art of living awake.
this isn’t really about photographs. it’s about photographic consciousness - a way of being and meeting life through the moment before you even think to take a picture.
I talk about what I’m making and what I’m unmaking,
how the self creates our lens,
and the ways we return to our own aliveness when we see beyond the image.
if you’ve ever felt the ache to be here more without even really knowing what that means-
you’re in the right place.
Join photographic artist, writer, & educator Bianca Lea Morra as we discover living through full body seeing.

Imagine if you could live your life without the anxious/overwhelm/guilt/pressure swirl of “making it count” through some grandiose effort because living with ease and intention is a default- your new home base. What if taking 20 minutes at the end of a month was all you needed to reflect, recalibrate, and align with yourself. SO you can stop saying "where did the time go?" because you KNOW where it went. You noticed. You saw it.I tested a process- a super simple process, and I can not believe how powerful the results have proven to be.I am officially SO excited to share this with you.In this episode I talk about my experience living through March with the intention of “ease” on my mind and my experience creating a one of a kind tribute piece honoring the experience.Nostalgia, Now is my new membership offering opening this week.Sign up for the waitlist to be the first to know when enrollment opens HERE.More from Bianca:www.biancaleamorra.comBook Your NLP Breakthrough Session Meditations for Photographic Artists: https://insighttimer.com/biancaleamorraFree weekly coworking: PHOTO yogaMonthly Membership: Nostalgia, Now.IG: @biancaleamorrahttps://www.instagram.com/biancaleamorra/

My partner and I sat on the couch at 10 pm after a massive bedtime tantrum fiasco and debriefed on how to stay connected to yourself through this season of life.We touch on-Expectation vs reality, good vs bad, why i've never read a parenting book,and why SPACE seems to be where the magic happens.If you're looking for a high energy talk- keep movin'. You can feel the tiredness in our voices- fair warning. lol.SHOW NOTES:FREEBIE: 3 Ways To Make the Most of Your Endless Photo ScrollMore from Bianca:www.biancaleamorra.comBook Your NLP Breakthrough Session Meditations for Photographic Artists: https://insighttimer.com/biancaleamorraFree weekly coworking: PHOTO yogaMonthly Membership: Nostalgia, Now.IG: @biancaleamorrahttps://www.instagram.com/biancaleamorra/

WTF.“HOW AM I HERE, AGAIN?!”When you put so much time into being introspective and doing the deep work and “rising above” only to be catapulted back into that old familiar feeling of "^@$#!@#$%^$&(!!!"But what if we are so busy being hard on ourselves under the noble ruse of expecting “better” that we are missing our WIN? Missing our opportunity to acknowledge our growth? What if we are totally missing the point?I recorded this specific episode this week because I needed to talk through this sneaky crap myself. I officially feel refreshed and found so much reassurance in pulling off the veil of bullying myself in the name of “self improvement".I even give you impromptu homework in this episode. Yep- things got real. (as usual)SHOW NOTES:DOWNLOAD THE SELF DISCOVERY FREEBIE HERE.Take Your FREE Quiz: What do your photos *actually* say about you?

At 11 yrs old, I was in bed staring at the dark ceiling and I had my first ever panic attack while considering the meaning of death. I just kept thinking, "nothing. nothing, nothing, nothing." The idea that everything that was so important to me would eventually turn into nothing, was too much for my 11 yr old brain to handle.
I became obsessed with documenting, saving, & creating things with meaning. Grease stained lunch notes, home video stills, and creating immersive installations dedicated to loved ones present & passed-I viewed everything through a nostalgic lens. I saw through the current state and into the sentimental core of it all. I received my BFA in Photography and continued living my life with a deep desire to make it count & not miss it. (whatever "it " was)
In 2021, the death of my beloved dog, my first real loss in life, confirmed that the work I had been creating and my process for living it served a higher and an infinitely more expansive purpose. Grief, comfort, love, self discovery- I didn't find refuge in grand, polished places. I found what I needed in the chronicles of my seemingly mundane nothingness. There is was, the whole time. I knew it all along and yet- I needed to be reminded. Don't we always know? Sometimes we all just need reminding.
Since then I have launched a podcast, an intimate membership, education, & photographic commission offerings. All of my work is centered around showing you that your "nothing" is really your everything. All you have to do is see.
