In today’s comeback episode, I’m catching you up on everything that’s been unfolding behind the scenes — creatively, personally, and inside my photography business. If you’ve been wondering where I went, what shifted, or what’s next for this podcast, this episode is your cozy little update.

We’re talking about:

• The season that pulled me away from photography.

• What I’ve learned about creative cycles, burnout, and honoring your energy.

• The shifts happening in my work and why the podcast is evolving with me.

• Why I’m leaning more into grounded, healing-forward conversations around boudoir.

• What you can expect from future episodes.

• A big little hint about something new I’ve been building for boudoir photographers.

• Pulling the card of the week with Seasons of the Witch: Mabon Oracle.

This episode is all about honesty, reconnection, and giving you a peek into the evolution happening behind the scenes.
