157: Using Human Design to Grow Your Photo Biz In a Way That Feels Energizing Rather Than Soul-Sucking with Madeline Evergreen
06/11/24 • 78 min
I recently spoke to my friend Madeline Evergreen, an expert in human design, about how we can use this tool to understand ourselves and our deepest desires better so that we can create a life and business we love ON PURPOSE.
Madeline’s story is wild–she used human design to undo 95% of her chronic health struggles that she’d been experiencing since birth–in 1 month. 🤯
Not only that, but she also used it to skyrocket her income and create a life and career she’s obsessed with and is able to tap into her energized flow state more frequently 🤩
In this week’s episode, we chat about how we as photographers can use human design to grow our business in a way that feels energizing rather than soul sucking!
Tune in to discover:
-How human design can help you move your focus away from what you “should” be doing in your business and guide you towards what you’re MEANT to do
-A short and sweet breakdown of the 5 different human design types
-How understanding human design can help you lead a happier, more productive team (and help you better understand your loved-ones)
-Demystifying your “authority” and how it can help you run your business more effectively
-How to use human design to take what you need from mentoring, courses, and resources without feeling overwhelmed
-Why the expression “lit up” can be misleading (and what it really means to feel lit up)
-Signs you might be modeling after another person (and dimming your own unique magnetism)
-Why that feeling of “my mother wouldn’t approve” could be the sign that’s it’s EXACTLY what’s meant for you
-What it feels like when you’re in your alignment

156: High-quality Questions You Can Ask Yourself To Grow Your Photography Business With Flow And Ease
Do you ever have burning questions about your photography business that you wish you could just get the answer to NOW? Maybe you want clarity on the nitty-gritty details of your photography business, like what type of social media content to create, or whether it’s worth it to study the Instagram algorithm, or whether ads are better than giveaways.
Well the thing is, sometimes what you need more than an answer to your burning question is a higher-quality question in the first place! The type of questions you ask yourself can have a huge impact on the growth of your business. Too often, I see photographers asking themselves unproductive questions that leave them stuck in the weeds, overwhelmed, and forgetting to see the big picture.
That’s why in this week’s episode, I’m sharing some examples of high-quality questions to ask yourself to grow your photography business. In this previously live Q&A session I did with my photography community, I provide you with real examples of how to reframe your questions to get clarity on your next business move.
My intention with this episode is to help you learn how to be your own source of guidance. By listening to how I respond to my students' questions, my hope is that you’ll get inspiration for how to ask yourself higher-quality questions so you can become your own source of inner guidance!
Tune in to discover:
- My “talk test” for gauging if a business strategy is right for me
- An inside look at how I outsource my photo editing to reduce 90% of the work (so I can focus on the things that only I can do in my business)
- Why constantly tweaking my workflow isn’t the drag that you’d think it is (and how it actually creates SO much freedom)
- Why I’ll never settle when it comes to outsourcing, why it’s SO worth the time to find great people to outsource your work
- How posting on Instagram right when the inspiration strikes is a huge magnet for my community
- Why working on my personal brand has worked so well for me as my lead generation strategy, and what that looks like
- How sharing my music taste online helped me book a new awesome client
- Why my #1 focus is client satisfaction (and an inside look at how it benefits me in the long run)

158: Riff Episode: Challenges I'm Facing Lately, What I'm Doing About It + What's Helping Me Grow
I’m gonna be real with you. I’ve been feeling like I’m in an awkward stage in my business right now. And by awkward, I mean...
- I’ve been feeling a heaviness around not having everything figured out yet with the direction I’m taking my business
- I’ve been feeling like I have SO MANY ideas, but confused on which ones to focus on - so I end up stalling
- I’ve been feeling like my world has been turned upside down since becoming a mom and I’m still navigating my way around how to peacefully flow through some challenges that arise with being a new parent
- (And more explained in today’s podcast episode!)
Have you been feeling any of these feels lately too? In case you have, instead of keeping this all to myself, I want to share it with you so that 👇🏻
- You feel less alone if you’re also feeling like you don’t quite have everything figured out the way you want to in your business right now
- You can piggy back off me and my MIND BLOWING realizations I’ve had recently about how to get through this phase in my life feeling empowered instead of it feeling like it’s hard to breath at times!
If you know me, you know I HATE small talk, so I go DEEP in today’s episode and I’m talking all about challenges I’m facing lately, what I’m doing about it, and what’s helping me grow.
I’m trying something different with this new “riff” style of podcast where I dive in with no plan and no script. I call this episode my “riff” episode because I literally grabbed my podcast mic, and started openly sharing with the intention of it feeling like I’m just chatting on the phone with you 📞
Tune in to discover:
✨ How I’m navigating my “awkward” phase
✨ The “radio station” analogy for how different realities exist all around us all the time (and how we can simply choose the reality we desire)
✨ Questions you can ask yourself when faced with challenges to keep you out of negative spiraling
✨ What motherhood is teaching me
✨ Why life challenges are actually gifts that bring you closer to your higher selves
✨ How to look for the “gain” so you can stay motivated and productive
✨ Why focusing on the “gap” is where all the suffering happens
✨ A simple explanation of quantum physics that’ll help you make better, more aligned decisions
✨ Why it’s normal to alternate between seasons of flow and seasons of resistance & uncertainty
