Imposter Syndrome, Client Ghosting & the Myth of 'More Time'

Have you ever caught yourself saying, 'I just need a bit more time before I do this…' - whether that’s pitching a dream client, raising your prices, creating the work you really want to make… or finally hitting send on a proposal?

In this episode, we unpack the hidden truth behind not feeling 'ready' - both from the photographer’s side and the client’s side. Because sometimes what looks like a timing issue is actually a confidence issue, a clarity issue, or a fear-of-decision issue. We’re talking honestly about imposter syndrome, creative hesitation, dream projects that feel intimidating, and those client responses that say 'we just need more time'… only for the conversation to quietly disappear.

If you’ve been stuck waiting for certainty before moving forward, this episode will help you rethink what readiness actually looks like.
