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. A new labor of love in pairing words and imagery.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.

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.

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.

"First I painted the whole structure of his face. Then I wiped out the face. And when the face was gone, it was more Frank than when the face was there." -Elaine de KooningHave you arrived yet?Not "there".Not at a goal.here.Have you arrived here, in this moment- in this body?

From Full Time Engineer to Full Time Mama & Doula, Sarah's story is so important.
It's the kind of story that might slip through the cracks because there isn't the extreme emotion or circumstance that attracts attention. Sarah was happy with her job and way of life but managed to tune into her gut and follow her curiosity into major life changes.
She is now navigating a new version of life as she knows it and supporting other women to discover choice in all areas of birth & motherhood.More from Sarah:

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.
