The Power of Community & Authentic Connection with Megan Champion

Megan Champion, M. Ed., is a 15-year elementary education teacher and mother to three children, including her neurodiverse son. After years of shame, guilt, and loneliness due to her child's behavioral challenges, she searched for a way to connect with other mothers raising children like hers.  She couldn't find what she was looking for so she created it herself in the form of her podcast On The Hard Days & her group membership Mothers Together.We talk about how having the right support is a powerful way to unlock your confidence, how important it is to raise your hand even when you don't have the answers, and how there's beauty in the contrast of reality vs expectation.SHOW NOTES:Learn more about Megan Champion:ontheharddays.com/motherstogether IG: @on.the.hard.dayshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/on-the-hard-days/id1551044106Join me in my free Get Mama in the Photo Challenge Sign up below to take control of the memory of you. https://view.flodesk.com/pages/61cbe56ea247a7a541994fd4Take Your FREE Quiz: What do your photos *actually* say about you?

Capturing Beautiful, Ordinary Motherhood with Michelle McKay

Time can be so elusive in general. As a mother, we are in a special kind of constant maelstrom of all the things. You think you are seeing your special moments but oftentimes we are caught in the dreaded "can't see the forest through the trees". Your mundane, exhausting everyday all of a sudden vanishes and you are left mourning the rose colored memories. How do we muster the energy to maintain our awareness of these special moments before they're gone forever?Michelle McKay comes on to chat about what she felt when she was surprised by an old photo of her breastfeeding her baby- the only photograph that was haphazardly captured of that beautiful and intimate nursing season for her.Michelle is a mama, lover, and memory catcher from Geelong,  Australia. As well as making it her mission to create a lasting, artful and meaningful record of this beautiful ordinary life, Michelle runs a thriving in-home photography business, and is an online educator of all things in-home photography and memory catching. She hosts a community many thousands strong world wide, creates editing presets, runs courses on the art of photography, and has taught at acclaimed retreats such as the much loved Milky Way Newborn Retreat. Michelle’s artistic style is inspired by a combination of lifestyle, documentary, and photojournalistic approaches, and she is a devout believer that you should always always always take the picture.SHOW NOTES:   Michelle Mckay:michellemckayphotographer.com.auwearememorycatchers.comFacebook Community:https://www.facebook.com/groups/wearememorycatchershttps://www.facebook.com/groups/thebeautifulordinarypresetsInsta:@michellemckayphotographer@michellememorycatcher@wearememorycatchersMamas!

The Power of Honoring Authenticity Through a Meaningful Tribute with Stephanie Florez

Positive Psychology Practitioner & Women's Authenticity Advocate Stephanie Florez felt somewhat unsatisfied with the photographs left behind of her dear grandmother.  With such a rich and deep bond that they shared, there was so much more that she wanted to encapsulate. Stephanie created a tribute piece with my heirloom album template that incorporated more of her grandmother's powerful essence through meaningful keepsakes. She speaks on what that experience felt like for her and how living authentically helps enrich our every day. SHOW NOTES:   How to learn more about Stephanie Florez:https://view.flodesk.com/pages/611be1b3519a809447dafd92https://www.instagram.com/thewomenwell/Take Your FREE Quiz: What do your photos *actually* say about you?

Imperfect Mindfulness

In this fun conversation with my friend and practical wellness expert Jenny Sanchez, we talk about what it means to deny yourself pleasures and choices in life in the name of the all or nothing attitudes we can have around seemingly positive goals."Can I be present and also take the photo?"

The Photos You Didn’t Know You Needed - a convo with my best friend.

In this episode, I share a gallery of photos with my bff. She's a self proclaimed, type A, always thinking 24 steps ahead type- but she was surprised when the photos I delivered- ones that she thought she didn't want or need- quickly became her most favorite family photos yet. Can you relate?SHOW NOTES:Take Your FREE Quiz: What do your photos *actually* say about you?

Claustrophobic Motherhood: Real talk from a real mom after a long day.

Where my moms at?Are you obsessed with your kids but also sick of talking about motherhood? But also kinda need to talk about motherhood?  If I had to choose one word to define my motherhood experience, it would be dichotomy. Just extremes all the time. I can't separate myself from my role as a mother but I also don't want to be constantly cocooned in it within everything I do.  Sometimes I just want to be me. Can you relate? It's been a tough week and I recorded this episode in bed and unfiltered. I hope, if nothing else, this episode helps you feel less alone.SHOW NOTES:Get Your FREE Guide of My Top 3 Easy Ways To Save Your Memories —Now!https://view.flodesk.com/pages/60cba9519054a067400fb03fBIANCA MORRA'S WORKhttps://www.biancaleamorra.com/HELP ME SEE PRIVATE FB GROUP: LIVE Q&A Friday'shttps://www.facebook.com/groups/helpmeseeMore 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/

Stop obsessing over life milestones. Start obsessing over actual life.

What if we are trying sooooo hard to capture something so sweet but we're actually missing the real stuff? What if we didn't realize that until it was too late?What if I told you I fell in love because someone sharpened my pencil? (Yes that's real and no it's not code for something weird. It's in the episode.)More often than not, our transformations happen in very specific, tiny, quiet moments. The milestone event is a celebration but to me it feels like a period at the end of a sentence.  The real stuff... the good stuff... happens before and after. Are we capturing those?
