If editing has ever made you question whether you can keep doing this… you’re not alone.

In this powerful episode of Focus and Flourish, I’m sharing the real reason most photographers are exhausted — and the behind-the-scenes post-production systems that helped me reclaim 20+ hours a week, protect my style, and fall back in love with my business.

We’ll talk about what actually leads to burnout, how I transitioned away from late-night editing marathons, and why AI tools like Aftershoot and Imagen have been game-changers, not replacements. Whether you’re culling manually, afraid to outsource, or curious about AI, this episode will give you the clarity and encouragement you need to finally scale without sacrificing your art.

• Why post-production is silently draining your time, energy, and creativity
• The exact workflow that helped me outsource 95% of my editing
• How I built a signature editing style that’s consistent across two businesses
• How Imagen and Aftershoot help me work smarter (without replacing the human touch)
• The mindset shifts that helped me let go — and grow faster than ever

Let’s build businesses that support our lives, not consume them.
