This is a real, layered conversation about what it actually looks like to be a woman in leadership, especially in spaces that were never built for us.We talk about decentering men, power, privilege, integrity, and how empowerment isn’t something you claim when things are going well — it’s something you live when it costs you something. Lauren shares her lived experience as a top producer in a male-dominated industry, her personal story, and how she refuses to separate her values from her work.This conversation is about leadership, responsibility, unlearning, and staying true to yourself even when it’s uncomfortable.📌 In this episode, we talk about:What decentering men actually means (and what it does not mean)Why being the only woman in the room isn’t something to celebrate — it’s something to questionHow empowerment comes from healing, unlearning, and integration, not just confidenceWhy integrity shows up when you’re willing to lose approval, money, or relationshipsHow women are conditioned to prioritize men’s comfort over their own safety, needs, and truth🧠 Key themes from the conversation:Empowerment as a practice, not an identityWhy visibility and leadership come with responsibilityHow privilege works — and why fear of “getting it wrong” keeps people silentThe difference between performative empowerment and lived empowermentWhy empowered women empower other women💬 Quotes from the episode:“Empowerment isn’t something you just wake up with.

🔑 Episode SummaryThis is a raw, tender, and intentional episode about sharing hard stories responsibly. I’m talking openly about a domestic violence experience I went through years ago and, more importantly, about the aftermath of what it’s like to carry those experiences as a woman, a leader, and a business owner.This episode isn’t about shock value or getting attention. It’s about truth-telling, discernment, and understanding that when we take up space publicly, there are real-life consequences in how people perceive you, treat you, and respect you.I share how I decided when to tell this story, why now, how I resourced myself before doing it, and why leadership requires bravery, integrity, and care for yourself and others.📌 In this episode, I talk about:Why sharing tender stories requires discernment, resourcing, and a clear “why”How visibility impacts real-world safety, reputation, and respect, especially for womenThe difference between sharing from a regulated, integrated place versus from dysregulationHow patriarchy, misogyny, and internalized beliefs show up in dating, business, and leadershipWhy telling the truth is part of women reclaiming power, even when it makes people uncomfortable💬 Quotes from the episode:“Truth telling has real life impact.”“Leadership isn’t becoming smarter.

Ep 130130. Humanhood & Expression with Casey Riley and Melanie Peralta

🔑 Episode SummaryIn this episode, I sit down with Casey and Melanie, the co-creators of the Humanhood Series, to talk about what it actually means to humanize the human experience. This is a real conversation about visibility, expression, leadership, and how our backgrounds shape how safe we feel being seen.We talk about why healing doesn’t come from “high vibes” alone, how voice and expression are developed through lived experience, and why being seen is a leadership skill that requires discernment, boundaries, and trust.📌 In this episode, we talk about:Why expression is at the core of healing, not just regulation or mindsetHow Humanhood was born from intuition, trust, and a seven-episode “let’s see how this feels” experimentThe difference between sharing from fear vs sharing from grounded boundariesHow childhood experiences shaped each of their relationships with voice, leadership, and visibilityWhy being seen physically, emotionally, and energetically is a practice — not something you’re just “good at”🧠 Key themes from the conversation:Visibility as a skill set, not a personality traitWhy being “an open book” doesn’t mean sharing everythingHow safety, context, and nervous system awareness impact storytellingThe difference between edges and hard boundaries in expressionWhy people need permission to be fully human — joy included, not just trauma💬 Quotes from the episode:“The real healing is talking about our real life stories.”“Breathwork is about expression.”“What’s a boundary today might be an edge tomorrow.”“You don’t have to tell everyone everything.”“We’re not here to be perfect.

S1 Ep 129129. People Buy From You Because Of Who You Are, So Are You Showing Them?

🔑 Episode SummaryThis episode is about trust and why people actually choose to buy from you. Not because you addressed every objection perfectly. Not because you had the best funnel. But because of who you are and how people feel in your presence.I talk about how we’re drawn to people for reasons that aren’t always business-related — their energy, their style, the way they carry themselves, the way they speak, their voice, their embodiment. These are the things we don’t always say out loud, but they matter.This episode connects branding, visibility, nervous system trust, and why making the coolest, truest parts of you visible makes choosing you easier.📌 In this episode, I talk about:Why people trust and choose you based on energy, presence, and containment, not just credentialsHow devotion to yourself shows up in your body, your work, and your brand over timeWhy style, voice, pacing, and how you take up space are real trust-buildersHow brand photos and videos amplify what’s already magnetic about youWhy branding is not meant to compete with viral content — it supports commitment-level buying decisions💬 Quotes from the episode:“People are drawn to you for things that are not always business-related at all.”“It’s a devotion to yourself — tiny micro-decisions over decades.”“We’re beings first, thinking beings second.”“Brand photos are permanent. You want them to be an accurate representation of your greatness.”“Sometimes people choose you simply because you’re cool — and that’s okay.”🔗 Ways to Work With MeSweet Spot – a brand refresh for one location and updated visualsIndustry Outlier – a full-day shoot for leaders who want volume, variety, and spaciousnessPayment plans available. $500 deposit option open.🗓️ Book a Discovery Call: https://calendly.com/mariacamilaphoto/30min🎓 Free Training – How to Become Brand Shoot Ready: https://fabulous-surf-71618.myflodesk.com/brand-shoot-ready

S1 Ep 128128. Being aware of your visibility wounds is not enough

🎙️ Being Aware of Your Visibility Wounds Is Not EnoughPodcast: Speak Your Truth and Look Good Doing It Host: Camila (aka Maya Camila) – Brand Strategist, Photographer & Videographer🔑 Episode SummaryToday’s episode is about showing up more unfiltered and why simply being aware of your visibility wounds is not the point. Awareness is the first step, but healing happens when you actually tackle it daily.Every single person building a personal brand has some visibility wound — being “too much,” too edgy, too emotional, too unprofessional, too whatever. I don’t care where you come from or how privileged you are. Everyone has something.Personal branding is one of the most powerful tools you can have. A resume and qualifications are not enough anymore. We need receipts. We need a body of work. We need people to feel trust with us. And for many of you, vulnerability is not a weakness — it’s your leadership tool.📌 In this episode, I talk about:Why awareness of your visibility wounds isn’t enough and how healing requires actionHow personal branding becomes a form of leadership, not just marketingWhy letting people see you in different states of being builds real trustHow privilege, perspective, and grounding yourself changes how seriously you take visibilityWhy thinking highly of your audience is non-negotiable if you want consistent results💬 Quotes from the episode:“Being aware of your visibility wounds is not the point. Awareness is the first step. The next step is actually tackling it.”“A resume or qualifications are simply not enough anymore. We need receipts.”“If you are not a man and you operate with different values, vulnerability is going to be your power.”“You are allowed to show up at 50% — and trust that your audience will still be there.”“I don’t believe in infantilizing people or managing other adults’ emotions for them.”🔗 Resources & Ways to Work Together🗓️ Book a Discovery Call: https://calendly.com/mariacamilaphoto/30min🎓 Free Training – How to Become Brand Shoot Ready: https://fabulous-surf-71618.myflodesk.com/brand-shoot-ready

S1 Ep 127127. 2025 Core Business Lessons

🔑 Episode SummaryThis episode is a very personal reflection on the core lessons 2025 taught me about business, leadership, and myself. I share why I almost didn’t record this episode, how self-censoring and people-pleasing showed up for me, and why remembering my voice is essential to the work I do.This is about building a business that doesn’t require abandoning yourself. It’s about softness, vulnerability, discernment, and being honest about what actually sustains long-term success.📌 In this episode, I talk about:Why business gets harder when your needs aren’t being met, especially when you isolate, hide, or feel shame around money and successHow surrounding myself with women of color and people with lived experience expanded my range, depth, and leadership in businessWhy I no longer allow people who are not trauma-informed into the “cockpit” of my businessHow letting the wrong voices influence my vision caused me to abandon my softness, intuition, and missionWhy vulnerability is not optional in business, but a rite of passage for leadership, trust, and meaningful growth💬 Quotes from this episode:“Business problems start to align when you align.”“Who you allow into the cockpit of your business matters more than their technical qualifications.”“Vulnerability is not something you opt into. It’s required if you want a fulfilling business.”“If you want to be transactional, there are a million other places to go make money.”🔗 Resources & Links🗓️ Book a Discovery Call: https://calendly.com/mariacamilaphoto/30min🎓 Free Training – How to Become Brand Shoot Ready: https://fabulous-surf-71618.myflodesk.com/brand-shoot-ready

S1 Ep 126126. What's Next? Career, Body, and Life Success - Now What? with Devin Hynes

🔑 Episode SummaryThis episode is a conversation about what happens after financial success—when the question is no longer “Can I make money?” but “What’s next for me?”I sit down with Devin, a previous client of mine, to talk about how her brand is evolving after experiencing powerful financial wins. We talk about visibility not as a growth tactic, but as a way to express the next identity she’s stepping into.This isn’t about scaling for the sake of scaling. It’s about discernment, integrity, and allowing your brand to reflect who you are now, not who you had to be to survive or prove yourself.📌 You’ll hear us talk about:How financial success creates a new question: “What do I actually want now?”Why visibility shifts when you’re no longer trying to convince or proveLetting your brand reflect where you’re going next, not just past resultsBeing in woman in C-suite roles Trusting your discernment after you already know you’re capableHow being seen becomes about expression and sovereignty, not validation💬 Quotes from the episode:“I’m not trying to prove anything anymore.”“Once you’ve made the money, the work becomes more about alignment.”“What’s next isn’t louder. It’s truer.”“I’m an expert on myself.”🔗 Connect with DevinInstagram: @functional_definitionWomen’s community: The Authenticity Collective🔗 Resources🗓️ Book a Discovery Call: https://calendly.com/mariacamilaphoto/30min🎓 Free Training – How to Become Brand Shoot Ready: https://fabulous-surf-71618.myflodesk.com/brand-shoot-ready

S1 Ep 125125. How I make You Feel Comfortable On Set

🔑 Episode SummaryIn this episode, I talk about what really helps clients feel comfortable, confident, and open during their photoshoots. Getting your photo or video taken can be deeply vulnerable — it’s not just about the camera, it’s about trust, safety, and connection.I share how I intentionally create that experience for my clients — from the moment we first meet, to the music we play on set, to how I direct you in real time. Because comfort doesn’t come from being photogenic; it comes from feeling at ease in your own body and with the person behind the camera.📌 You’ll hear me talk about:Why your relationship with your photographer or videographer matters more than the creative directorHow I build trust before shoot day through pre-shoot calls and creative collaborationWhat I do on set to help you relax — music, direction, warmth, and calm energyWhy I handle location coordination and logistics so you can simply show up and be presentHow I use my tone, presence, and genuine affirmation to help you open up and actually enjoy being seen💬 Quotes from this episode:“It’s not that you’re not photogenic — you just don’t feel comfortable in your own skin.”“You open up more easily when you feel like you already know me.”“I’m big on being relational, not transactional. That’s what lets you relax into yourself.”“Music disarms you. It helps you get into your body and actually feel good being seen.”🔗 Resources & Links🗓️ Book a Discovery Call🎓 Free Training – How to Become Brand Shoot Ready

S1 Ep 124124. The Myth of Being Ready For Visibility

🎙️ The Myth of Waiting to Be Ready for VisibilityPodcast: Speak Your Truth and Look Good Doing It Host: Camila – Brand Photographer + Videographer🔑 Episode SummaryIn this episode, I talk about one of the biggest lies high-performing entrepreneurs tell themselves — the idea that you need to be “ready,” “healed,” or have hit a milestone before you become visible.I share why visibility itself is the process that makes you ready — not something that happens after the fact. This conversation breaks down how visibility builds trust, why being relational matters in business, and how your brand can become the bridge between your expertise and your humanity.We’ll also explore what it means to be a trusted brand in an era where authority alone doesn’t create connection — and how storytelling, presence, and emotional safety change everything about how people experience you.📌 You’ll hear me talk about:Why “waiting until you’re ready” is a myth — you become ready by doing the workThe difference between expertise and trust (and why being good at your job isn’t enough)Why relational brands outperform transactional onesHow storytelling humanizes your authority and makes people trust you fasterHow to spot where you’re unknowingly eroding trust with your audienceWhat happens when you start letting people see your humanity, not just your professionalismWhy visibility is a spiritual practice — it exposes the parts of you that still crave safetyThe story of a client who took a huge emotional risk on camera and got 18,000+ views because of itHow being visible helps you grow resilience, leadership, and capacity for impact💬 Quotes from this episode:“You don’t become ready before you’re visible. You become ready through visibility.”“Business is trust. People give you their most precious resources — money and vulnerability — and they don’t do that with just anyone.”“If your brand doesn’t let people feel you, they can’t fully trust you.”“Visibility is not about being perfect. It’s about being willing.”

S1 Ep 123123. "I have a fear of triggering people."

🎙️ The Real Reason You’re Watering Yourself DownPodcast: Speak Your Truth and Look Good Doing It Host: Camila – Brand Photographer + Videographer🔑 Episode SummaryIn this episode, I talk about one of the biggest things that keeps entrepreneurs, leaders, and creatives from being fully visible — the fear of triggering people.Whether it’s holding back your opinions, not posting certain photos, downplaying your accomplishments, or refusing to sell boldly — these small moments of self-protection add up. And they keep you from being seen, trusted, and paid at the level you desire.I share the patterns I’ve noticed after working with hundreds of founders and the ways “not wanting to trigger people” subtly shows up in their branding, content, and leadership.📌 You’ll hear me talk about:How “not wanting to trigger people” turns into watering yourself downWhy avoiding discomfort in visibility creates inconsistency in salesThe subtle ways you might hide — like only posting your “prime” photos or never talking about your winsThe trap of only teaching instead of connecting and storytellingWhat your body language reveals about your leadership and self-trustWhy your audience can only trust you as much as you trust yourselfThe story of my $20K month and how nervous system regulation helped me actually hold itWhat it means to be rooted enough to take risks in business — even if it means triggering people💬 Quotes from this episode:“Triggering people is not a business problem. Avoiding it is.”“Your body can’t lie to me. I can tell when your energy matches your words.”“You can’t build trust with others if you don’t trust yourself when tension is high.”“Being visible means letting yourself be seen — even when it feels stretchy.”🔗 Resources & Links🗓️ Book a Discovery Call🎓 Free Training – How to Become Brand Shoot Ready

S1 Ep 122122. Beliefs I've Had to Clean Up In Order For Me To Grow

🎙️ Beliefs I’ve Had to Clean Up (So My Business Could Grow)Podcast: Speak Your Truth and Look Good Doing It Host: Camila – Brand Photographer + Videographer🔑 Episode SummaryIn this episode, I’m being very direct about the belief systems I’ve had to clean up about myself, my work, and the people I serve. Strategy is simple—but the beliefs you carry determine how you show up, how much you’re willing to give, and how you allow people to pay you.I talk about how careless language reveals your belief system, how it impacts your results, and how holding subtle judgments about your audience quietly sabotages conversion and connection.This is a call-in to service providers, leaders, and anyone doing mission-led work: your belief system permeates everything, and if you don’t address it, no strategy will stick.📌 You’ll hear me talk about:Why cleaning up your belief system matters more than any visibility strategyThe impact of calling your audience “broke,” “not ready,” or “lazy” (even jokingly)The sneaky belief: “I’m putting people in harm’s way by making them visible”Outgrowing the idea: “My community doesn't have money to invest”Releasing the belief that white people are unsafe and learning to lean into shared humanityFears around being white-passing and photographing women of color — and building trust through devotion and learningBreaking out of the “hardworking Latina but underpaid” trope and reclaiming generosity without self-sacrificeWhy entrepreneurship rewards devotion, care, and love more than performanceHow your beliefs impact how willing you are to be seen, charge, and lead💬 Quotes from this episode:“If your belief system sucks, your results are going to suck.”“There are people with strong opinions on the internet who don’t even have strong results. I speak from lived experience.”“If you think your clients are stupid or broke, that energy will show in your work—no matter how beautiful your branding is.”“Whatever you do, do it with love.

🔑 Episode SummaryIn this episode, I share some of the big aha moments I’ve been having in life and business. These are the behind-the-scenes reflections that don’t always make it to Instagram, but they shape how I grow, how I show up, and how I build my brand.From realizing how survival mode was keeping me stuck, to redefining what success actually means to me, to cleaning up belief systems that were capping my income — this is the raw, honest side of entrepreneurship.I also share what it’s been like to go back to Utah after moving to Arizona, the contrast I felt, and how those reflections showed me just how far I’ve come.📌 You’ll hear me talk about:Why survival mode stunts growth and keeps you from seeing opportunitiesMy definition of success now (slow mornings, calendar spaciousness, inspiring environments, and freedom to travel)How moving back and forth between Arizona and Utah gave me perspective on my growthWhy belief systems can’t be bypassed — no strategy works if your mindset is offThe role visibility and thought leadership play in creating demandWhy urgency, scarcity, and stress aren’t real (unless you’re dysregulated)The power of being emotionally available with yourself and your clientsHow embodiment is about integrity — saying yes when you mean yes, and no when you mean no💬 Quotes from this episode:“If your belief system sucks, your results are going to suck.”“Strategy is maybe 20%.

🔑 Episode SummaryFunnels, ads, SEO, or referrals might get people in the door—but what makes people choose you is your brand. In this episode, I break down why branding and visibility will always take you further than any funnel.I share the things I see entrepreneurs normalize in their businesses that are actually not normal, and how elevating your brand presence changes everything—from how much you charge, to the clients you attract, to the rooms you get invited into.This is about being visible, showing the depth of your work, and letting your leadership be seen. Because once you do, your business can’t help but grow.📌 You’ll hear me talk about:Why feast and famine cycles are not normal—and what branding can do to break themWhy making $80K after 5 years in business is not the standard you have to acceptHow working with misaligned clients makes success feel empty, and how visibility brings in aligned onesWhy censoring yourself online kills your brand, and how full expression attracts more opportunitiesWhy branding creates consistency and magnetism that no funnel can replicateHow being bold, blunt, or polarizing in your content strengthens your leadershipWhy accurate representation and aligned visuals are non-negotiables in my own brand💬 Quotes from this episode:“Funnels bring people into your world. Branding is what makes them choose you.”“Sometimes you don’t need to try harder.

I sat down with somatic life and business coach Eunice Kimian to talk about beauty, belonging, being perceived, and how we relate to ourselves and our work.This is about more than how things look—it’s about how they feel in your body. We talked about how your lived experience impacts how you lead, how you create, and how you show up visually.And we explored how a photoshoot—done with presence and intention—can help you step into a more confident identity, shift your self-perception, and even help you make bolder business decisions because of how differently you start to see yourself.💭 We talk about:Branding through the lens of lived experience and nervous system awarenessHow beauty and branding are emotional for women of colorWhy some of us hold back visibility—not because we’re hiding, but because we don’t feel safeThe quiet, steady power of subtle brandingLetting people feel you without having to over explain yourselfShifting from performance to embodiment in your brand presenceHow a brand shoot can create new reference points for how you make decisions in your business💬 A few quotes from this episode:“I’m not trying to perform polish—I want to feel safe in how I’m showing up.”“Sometimes you’re not hiding because you’re scared. Sometimes you’re just paying attention to your nervous system.”“Doing a photoshoot let me see a version of myself I hadn’t met yet—and now I make decisions from her.”👤 Connect with EuniceWebsite: eunicekimian.comInstagram: @eunicekimian🔗 Resources & Links:🗓️ Book a Discovery Call🎓 Free Training – How to Become Brand Shoot Ready

🔑 Episode SummaryThis episode is for the multi-passionate folks who feel like there's no way one brand could ever capture all of who they are. You’ve probably said, “I don’t want to be boxed in,” or “I don’t want to niche down.” I get it. This isn’t about stuffing yourself into a label. It’s about anchoring into the deeper vision you’re here to lead with—so you can actually feel more free.In this solo, I walk you through why you’re already more predictable than you think, how authenticity gives you flexibility in your offers, and what happens when you stop performing and start leading with your actual self.💭 In this episode, I talk about:Why marketers (and even ChatGPT) already know you’re predictableHow leading with a vision gives you more room to evolve than leading with a job titleThe truth: you’re not “too much”—you just haven’t branded around your authenticity yetHow the Industry Outlier shoot helps you align your visuals with your deeper messageWhy people don’t just buy services—they buy your point of view, your leadership, your energyHow to create visuals that reflect the realest parts of you, not just the polished onesWhy being “woo-woo,” intuitive, or emotional is your edge—and it’s what people are paying forWhy visuals rooted in authenticity convert better than safe, tidy, digestible content💬 Quotes to Remember“You’re already working in patterns. Branding doesn’t box you in—it just helps you lead with the part of you that already makes sense.”“Your job is just to be so you. That’s the power people are paying for.”“This isn’t about niching by occupation—it’s about leading with your mission, and letting your offers evolve from there.”🔗 Links & Resources:🗓️ Book a Discovery Call📥 Free Download – How to Use Your Images Guide
