Ep. 68 - Breaking Free from the Hustle Culture Mindset with Kayla Esparza
On today's episode, I interview Kayla Esparza, a wedding photographer based in Washington. Though she used to be a travel/destination photographer, she quickly realized how draining and taxing that is on your physical, mental, and spiritual state, and has since settled down to photographing more weddings in her area.
We chatted about how to break the hustle culture mindset, and how detrimental it can be to yourself and your biz.

You may have heard photographers or small business owners talk about using guides. If you've never seen one or you're not sure what to include in them, then this episode is for you! I go over my four most commonly used guides and what I use to fill the pages. From pricing guides, to wedding welcome guides, and even location guides! Sending guides to your clients or audience will not only save you time but also increase the value you're adding in your client experience!
