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. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join my Private Facebook Group here!:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.facebook.com/groups/cayleighskillacrew ---------------------- Where you can find Kayla: Instagram: @kaylsaaesparza Personal/Fitness IG: @kesburitto Website: https://kaylaaesparza.com/ ------------------------ Where you can find me: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@cayleighelyphotography ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tik Tok:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@cayleighelyphotography ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://cayleighely.com/ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mentorships with me:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ http://education.cayleighely.com/mentorships ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join my Private Facebook Group here!:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.facebook.com/groups/cayleighskillacrew --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/clearlyfocused/support
