Help Me See - Living Through Seeing

CONCOCTIONS: the anti recipe (?)

Concoctions: The anti recipe? no. after giving it thought, I realize concoctions inevitably become a recipe in its own way.(also, can being “for” something stop meaning we have to be “"anti” something else?)((but to be honest, anti recipe was my immediate initial thought. lol))intuitive cooking? based off a lifetime of tasting experiences, thanks to recipes (ironically).okayyyyyyyy. so what’s the difference and why do I feel so averse to one over the other?After all, a recipe is just the fine tuned & recorded end point of intuitive concocting. Essentially it’s all the same thing and the only thing that’s different is our relationship to our perception of the words and their implications.They are both beautiful.But this share will be about my deep dive into embracing my instincts in the kitchen and letting go of forcing myself to do it any other way.Every single thing you do has this innate wisdom to it. There's a strategy that you're tapping into for whatever you do when you're doing it instinctually- in the way that is natural to you. Instead of looking around at how it’s outside of the norm, the way it's usually done, or the way that most people understand- instead of using that as a weapon against yourself,
maybe take a breath and look at whatever it is you're doing through this lens of neutrality. Maybe it’s not subpar. Maybe it’s more than enough. Maybe it’s fucking genius.Interest in the visual version of this episode?Subscribe on Substack here & join the community <3

Your Art is Life & Death

One day, you will not be here. One day, everything and nothing will matter. One day, the pictures become painfully precious. One day, hindsight will show you the life you could have lived.
Right now, you are here.
Right now, everything and nothing matters. Right now, the pictures are painfully precious. Your hindsight is available to you now. Your life is available to you now.
Live that life now.
Whatever it is- connect to yourself and love yourself today.If you don’t know where to start, look to your pictures.They will tell you.They know.
This feels like the most urgent conversation we could be having.Grab the free, visual/written version of this podcast on Substack.
In loving memory of EJ HASSAN.

Is ”Why” Keeping You Stuck?

When does the quest for "why" turn into justification paralysis?Is figuring out the root cause the only key to moving forward? or is it as simple as a decision?With visual journaling I reflect on the big and little picture(s) for feelings rather than answers.NOTES from Bianca:Sacred Seeing on Substackhttps://www.instagram.com/biancaleamorra/

Photography as Meditation: Being in the pulse of your life.

waking up with a racing chest.putting your brain in front of your divine inspiration/intuition.letting yourself hear what you are trying to tell yourself through the photos you take."WAIT! I gotta get mommy a flower!" click click click.wake up. click click click. let the light in.
opens up this well of knowledge and wisdom and witnessing of yourself that can actually help you live your life more deeply.
It opens everything up to what really actually matters. The only thing that matters is right now.And right now, whatever, you're looking at, pressing a button to, there is something so earth shatteringly vital about that because you're choosing to do that.
You are intuitively choosing, “this” out of everything available to you in your whole life. This. Now.

PT 2: Fear of Visceral Joy

Today is a part two of sorts. Last week's episode felt too big to just move on from and I've been burrowing myself into it ever since.I uncovered a really deep insecurity of mine: being redundant. Feeling like what I have to share and what I feel so deeply compelled to say is obvious.But isn't that what pictures are? redundant.and thank goodness.
The most important things in the world need to be repeated over and over again.
My clarity problem revealed its true nature in this episode- it's a courage problem.And what is so scary? the visceral joy that might come from setting myself free.

Press & Release: Confessions of Insecurity pt 1

I went on a creative work retreat & was able to finally name the ambiguous monster under my bed. An insecurity that makes me cringe to even say it out loud but alas- I do.
I bring it here in the spirit of love, honesty, & in the shameless hope that speaking it out will encourage it to dissipate.BREAKING NEWS:Each podcast episode will now also be published on substack.

Mother the Mother

do you feel like you can never let your guard down in life? sometimes I just want to be taken care of, the way I take care.today I share a very recent & personal experience trying to find some clarity around a medical issue.as I sift through the layers of why I feel like I can't let it go, I wonder where advocating for myself morphs into anxiety & paranoia, where intuition get's lost in a fog of fear, the exhaustion/necessity of hypervigilance, & how to empower ourselves in increasing our capacity to live & be with all of it.NOTES from Bianca:1:1 BREAKTHROUGH VISION SESSIONSacred Seeing Membership for Creativeshttps://www.instagram.com/biancaleamorra/Check out my newest offer- REMOTE PHOTO SESSIONS for emerging artists.

A Visual Love Letter, to you from you.

after last week's episode i realized i was having a hard time figuring out how to love myself without having it be in relation to being "useful" "helpful" "serving" "loving" -basically anything that was inherently linked to how much I can be for others.didn't sit well with me so I made a self exploration template and helped myself remember how to access actual love for myself. free link below for you to take it and make it your own. (i suggest a cozy drink, some music, & bonus points for recording yourself doing the process for no other reason but to witness something ((you)) beautiful.)please do your homework: your visual love letter to you template CLICK HERE.

When You Sit w/Anything Long Enough: love

Today I share about a workshop I attended that made me cry incessantly. (lol)& how for the first time in the history of my 15 year relationship with my partner- i was wrong (GASP). (lol again)Prompts from the episode-
sit with one picture for an uncomfortable amount of time
where are you wasting energy trying to achieve the very thing you can actually be using as a jumping off point?
are there things you're trying to "mindset" yourself around when what you actually need is a simple action?NOTES from Bianca:1:1 BREAKTHROUGH VISION SESSIONSacred Seeing Membership for Creativeshttps://www.instagram.com/biancaleamorra/Check out my newest offer- REMOTE PHOTO SESSIONS for emerging artists.
