In this deeply personal episode, I sit down with photographer Kimberly Romano to talk about the one thing most photographers don’t want to talk about: health.

Kimberly opens up about the health crisis that brought her six-figure photography career to a screeching halt and how she’s had to rebuild her life, her business, and her relationship with her body from the ground up.

We go beyond the usual SEO tips and social media hacks to talk about:

• The real cost of burnout in the photography world

• Why your energy is your greatest business asset

• How to nourish your body (and business) when you feel depleted

• The unspoken pressure photographers face to keep going even when it’s killing them

  
  

This episode is a wake-up call, a heart-to-heart, and a permission slip to put yourself first.

Because without your health? None of the hustle matters.
