At a certain point, you just need a way to practice some of that hard earned wisdom you’ve been acquiring.

LENS is a space for that, plus it adds the element of community, which is something we all need more of.

Did I mention that alumni of my LENS Creative Awakening program get access to a free ongoing community space to continue practicing this with other people who get it?

Your nervous system doesn’t regulate itself in isolation.
It regulates through connection, creativity, and being witnessed.

Studies show that even a few minutes of mindful visual engagement can lower stress, regulate the body, and restore clarity.

Pair that with community support and live inspiration… and transformation becomes inevitable.

This 8-week L.E.N.S. Method® group brings all of that together: live inspiration, gentle creative rituals, simple mindful photo prompts, and a supportive group experience.

If you’re going to invest in anything this season, choose something that nourishes your whole system—not more clutter, not more screen scrolling.

Choose you.

Comment LENS or DM me if you want the details.

My default used to be to rush to “fix” a problem and often burn myself out in the process. Right now I’m experiencing being secluded in my apt with my son (again) because of problems that I haven’t yet been able to solve.

But this time, I’m choosing to learn how to see the beauty of this moment and how this time can be seen as a gift. I’m learning how to not be in the frantic energy of needing things to be different than what they are. It’s not easy!

My son was playing with a ping pong ball and was delighted when it got stuck in the blinds, inspired by YouTuber teens doing trick shots.

We’re not stuck in a set back. We’re having a reset.

Making this photo and using it as a mirror for self reflection is what my workshops and experiences are all about.

Download my new ‘See the Light’ guide in my bio and you’ll get an email with the info for a free photo share Zoom party. It might just be the reset you need to see your world through a new lens.

Today I gave a special 1:1 bonus call as part of the course I created called ‘Look the Part’.

The course is about helping you learn to create your personalized visual story map and make compelling photos to share about your life and how it relates to your work in the world. Magnetic and aligned selfies too.

Our conversation sparked lots of ideas her and also reminded me about some of my own.

What does a day in your life look like and how does it tie into your business?

My son and my dog require A Lot of my energy, and I’m super grateful to have this deck where some of their energy can get out!

With this photo, I can talk about my chaotic parenting journey, my struggle with living in a big city while I also wish to be surrounded by nature, gratitude (because I have a LENS photo workshop all about making a visual gratitude practice, etc.).

The course is recorded and as a super special launch bonus, for a very limited time, it includes a 1:1 call with me where I walk you through how you can create your unique photo content pillars that speak to the clients who need you.

Videos are great, but when you think about it, people’s memories are made up of still images. And in a sea of never ending, overwhelming video content competing for all of our attention - a scroll stopping still image can do just that.

Link to the course is in my bio 🤳🌟
