Today I am sharing part 2 of my REST series on the podcast! (If you missed it, you can listen to part one HERE!)
Has anyone ever told you that you need to rest by “turning your brain off?”.....
Have you ever felt like the part of your brain that allows you to dream or be inspired isn’t accessible anymore?
Have you ever struggled with being STUCK? If so, this episode is for you!

In today’s episode you’ll hear me walking through the beginning conversation of “What is REST” and what have I believed about it that has kept me stuck in some cycles that aren’t serving me well anymore!
It is definitely out of the norm to slow down…. It’s also out of the norm to TALK THROUGH rest as an entrepreneur because honestly, if you’re wired like me, making time to even listen to a podcast about making time for rest can seem like a waste of time!!!
As I continue to share more about the path we've been on, there have been a lot of questions! I wanted to answer some of those questions and try to tie a bow on this long story that can hardly fit into 3 podcast episodes. If you're in the middle of a health journey, or advocating for your kids, I hope this episode encourages you!

This episode isn't light hearted or easy to listen to. I would go so far as to say, it's a bit painful to listen to but it's also powerful. If you struggle to make sense of how pain can be so present in the world where there is also a good God who loves us, this episode is worth listening to. We lost a child 6 years ago to complications from Down Syndrome. His story has changed thousands of lives and transformed us as parents and believers. This is my disclaimer: If you're looking for a photography how-to podcast, this isn't it. There are other episodes on those business topics! However, if you're looking to understand more about living in purpose and meaning in the midst of pain, I would dive in!
The other week I shared a very vulnerable podcast about the latest health journey we are on as a family, specifically for our son!
If you would like to listen to part one, you can do so HERE!
I was blown away by the response and I am so thankful for all of you who shared resources, reached out, and asked questions. The amount of mommas out there who are also searching for answers is shocking. It’s equal parts encouraging to not be alone and also startling that so many people are at a loss for answers and real solutions.
From makeup to dishwasher detergent to saying goodbye to standard sippy cups and food dyes…. I try to hit on everything but there is honestly a lot to remember. I JUST realized I didn’t even mention in the episode that we only use Cast Iron and Stainless Steel cookware now!
Like I said, it’s a lot to keep straight and I probably forgot other changes I should have mentioned but this is a JOURNEY and I’m willing to keep sharing as we keep growing through it if you all are up for it!

Today’s episode is a little different than normal.
Actually, it’s VERY different from normal. I sat down in my studio to record this without a plan or an outline or really even a clear vision for what I wanted to share…..
I ended up sharing the raw, honest journey we have been on the past 8-10 months with a health journey with one of our children and recently, my own health hurdles as well. Consider this an “intro” because there are so many things I didn’t get to in this episode. This paints a clearer picture of our life this last year and sets the stage to share more as we continue on this journey.
The goal of this episode is to share our reality in hopes that it will be an encouragement to other parents and other Enneagram 3’s who may operate like me and need a shift as well! :)

Today's podcast is inspired by a recent KJ All-Access episode. In that episode the bride had very different taste than what I personally prefer and wouldn't be considered a "typical" KJ Bride. BUT I still had to show up on her wedding day and serve her as best as I possibly could.
So today I want to talk through what that looks like and how you can serve your clients well, even when they're not the perfect fit!

The business world (and just the world in general) looks A LOT different today than it did 15 years ago when I started my business. But as my business has changed and evolved over the years one thing has stayed the same: the power of a personal brand. I've noticed that many of our student's struggle with applying this concept to their own businesses for a number of reasons: so in this episode I'm sharing WHY personal branding is still important and debunking some beliefs that many make up as to why it can't work for them.

Today I’m sharing some personal and business recaps in today’s Podcast episode! Per usual, I’m a little heavy on the personal side because this year has been a whirlwind of both challenges and joys. Becoming a family of six, starting year two at the school we started, running our business, a soft launch of a new one… it’s all a bit of a blur.
We’re excited for 2024 and have so many ideas for how we can more effectively help, serve, guide and challenge our community of amazing photographers!!
Thank you for being here and thank you for believing in KJ Education!!! We are forever grateful for you!!!

In today's episode I'm sharing about how I am fostering a learning environment for my children: both in the school that we started but also at home in our day to day lives. My goal is to build entrepreneurial minded children... which may seem crazy when my oldest is only 6 years old BUT my hope is that this episode will show you that it IS possible and give you a few practical tips on how you can instill these mindsets in your own children.

In this episode I'm sharing 5 main takeaways that have stuck with me since hosting my in-person Mastermind retreat last week! It was such a treat and filled me up in ways that other parts of my business cannot! I left our time together feeling more excited and encouraged about the trajectory of my Photography Education business and that's EXACTLY what a mastermind is for! I'm also sharing about the soft-launch of a new brand, Now Teach It, and how I made the decision to put it out into the world!
This episode was not on the schedule. It wasn't even on my radar. However, over the weekend I tried having AI edit one of my sessions and it was mind blowing... so I shared about it. I was proud of myself for trying something new and pushing myself to figure it out. What I didn't realize was that it was going to start a firestorm in the private editing community. When I first started outsourcing, I became a strong advocate for the private editor. I tried the mega editing companies and they always fell short. I even went so far as to make a small mini-course with my own editor to help photographers learn more about private editing and how to become one! So, when I shared that a robot edited my session, the fear and anxiety that all editors have been pushing down and trying to not think about was brought to the surface. I understand their fear, their anxiety and their frustration that I shared what I did. However, after many conversations with private editors and leaders in that space, I was encouraged that there are others that think the way I do. What if this wasn't the worst thing ever? What if this was more of an opportunity than it is a problem? I know it's not what anyone wants and the fear is valid but my hope is that this podcast will allow ALL of us to see the possibility in the parts of life that we wouldn't choose!
Ever feel like you just can't get things done? Maybe you're like me and you have massive tasks that just seem to loom over you. This has been my reality since about 2 months before I had our last baby. I needed space, dedicated time away and the ability to focus! I finally did something about it and it worked! While this isn't an every day or every week solution, I walked away with some key takeaways about my work and my tasks that have proven to be incredibly valuable this past week! Hear all about it in this episode!

This episode is perfectly represents all that I hope for this podcast to be: a blend of practical photography education and vulnerable life/business lessons. In this episode I respond to YouTube comments about my favorite lens (Canon RF 28-70 f/2.0) and share a story about crying in the Target parking lot and the perspective I found there. Plus, I share an exciting opportunity I am dreaming up for business owners who are looking to find freedom. I hope you enjoy!

Almost every business uses technology in one way or another.. which means AI can affect every business! And we've heard the grumblings and praise of AI. In our industry you’ll hear anything from “This thing is insane, man!” to “Photography is now a dying art”.
But I think there's a different way to look at it and see new possibilities in your mindset and business!

Talking through my predetermined expectations about mentorship has allowed me to experience freedom by unraveling, unmasking and redefining certain parts of my life that I have never considered before. I have been in the process of redefining what my capabilities and my capacities as a mentor really are and not letting my past definition of mentorship define what my capability is. I hope you’ll join me in thinking through what parts of your life are longing to be redefined to experience more freedom!!!
Five years ago we were walking through the end of the hardest journey we had ever been on. On May 1st, 2019 we said hello and goodbye to our precious second child. Baby James was diagnosed with severe complications from Down Syndrome at his 20 week ultrasound and we were given the privilege of loving a baby we wouldn't get to keep. For three months we celebrated the life we had with him inside of me. We loved him while we had him and that love continues even now, five years later. My hope is that this episode will bring some hope and light to the lives of those walking through loss and heartache.
I couldn't be more excited about this episode. Shay is a dear friend, fellow business owner, believer, photographer, wife, mom and visionary. Her story is one of my favorites because her convictions about her time, her balance, and her business constantly call me up to a higher level of intentionality. She's the perfect example of what it looks like to have a friend that breathes life and new inspiration into your life! After reading that, doesn't it make sense why she would be the FIRST GUEST on the podcast?! Enjoy our conversation about life and business!

This episode is most definitely a TEASER episode! KJ All Access 2.0 has not yet been released but it's coming and it's well worth the wait!! In this episode, I'm honestly sharing the backstory of my heart behind the changes that our students will be seeing very soon! The reason I'm sharing all of this is because my experience isn't unique. This is a common occurrence for business owners but I think many overlook the signs and red flags that I mention in this episode and that leads them to being "stuck"!! My hope is that this story will shed some light on the journey it has been to get me to a point where I was totally honest about what I needed to do with this part of my business! Enjoy!
Wow. Prepare yourself for a very long and dare I say overly passionate episode about not just my latest birth experience but ALL of my birth experiences. I think my passion about this topic stems from not just the passion I have for my children but for the way God used my children and their births to transform me into a new version of myself. If someone was to say "Katelyn, what is your greatest accomplishment in your life?" my answer would be my children. From my pregnancies to their births and the journey we're on raising them... being a parent is the greatest calling of my life. Learning to stand up for myself and trust who I was as a mom started before my first baby was even born and I'm grateful for the challenges that ultimately led me through the last 5 years and to my final birth this past month. Listen to hear my birth story and how my challenges pushed me to find the most beautiful birth experience I never imagined myself ever desiring!

Recently a CNBC article was written about me and my business. While I am honored and excited that the article was able to share more about the success we've found over the years, the article doesn't paint the full picture of what it takes to scale a business of this size. In this episode I chat through my thoughts on the realities of scaling a business from my perspective and how scaling can look different for everyone.

Today we're diving into a topic that has been on my mind for years but I haven't felt ready to talk about until now. Having kids was by far the BEST thing that ever happened to my business... but that doesn't mean it hasn't CHANGED my business. Today Katelyn dives into the world of balancing motherhood and growing a business and how they go hand in hand!
This week Katelyn shares a look back at everything that happened in 2022! She shares what worked well and more importantly, what didn't work so well!

Eventually, every small business owner will experience some version of burnout. This happened to me last summer: I was done. Ready to close shop and move onto something else. But after taking some much needed time off I realized that I didn't need to quit. I just needed to do something different. In this episode I'm sharing a few steps I took to avoid burnout and what you can do if you are feeling the same!

In 2019 we began pursuing what we desired for our kids education. As entrepreneurs, we have realized the power of curiosity and the power of being able to pursue our passions. We wanted our children to experience this same kind of freedom every day at school. We discovered Acton Academy and this is the story of our journey to the decision that we were going to start our own in Richmond, Virginia!

This episode talks about tension between wanting to get out of something that is HARD as fast as possible and staying in it long enough to find purpose and healing. God doesn’t waste hard seasons but we can miss whole chapters of our story by trying to avoid the hard parts and numb ourselves from the pain. I’m sharing how I have experienced the power of staying in the pain instead of running from it. Life change happens when we’re uncomfortable. Many will avoid discomfort their entire lives and sacrifice AMAZING growth because of it. My hope is that this episode will empower people to start looking at their own lives and their own hard seasons (big and small) and start discovering what good thing could be waiting for them in the mess!
