She Lost Her Instagram Account Overnight: Leah Tyler-Szucki’s Photography Business Rebuild | Ep 187

And then how did you get into like an education space?

um okay so i clearly talk a lot um i i uh actually the girl that photographed me last night she was filming an education i was doing a shootout so i had eight girls in the field with me on a guided session and she came to me about four years ago and was like you should co-host a workshop with me and i've never done anything like that i had no idea what the workload would be to put together like an entire full day workshop and she carried the weight for sure and i'm forever grateful for that i had an eye-opening experience of how much actually goes into um educating a workshop but i just got up there my heart was racing i didn't know what i was gonna say and it's like the words just like Fell out of my mouth and the feedback was phenomenal.

And so I just like I focus mainly on photographer.

But since I lost my account about 12 weeks ago, I decided, well, that's not true.

In January, I decided that I was going to jump into an educator space like full more fully.

And then I lost my account.

So I thought that was all divine timing.

to start this new journey of educating other women and helping them find balance outside the nine to five life, charging your worth, not feeling guilty about asking for money.

That whole money mindset is what I've really focused on because we're just not meant to be full-time workers, full-time moms, full-time wives, full-time house cleaners, taxi drivers.

And there's no reason that we can't get paid for our services because somebody would pay some stranger.

So why aren't they paying you? That is so

true.

My long winded, this is how I got into education.

Yeah, I'm very passionate about helping women build more sustainable lives and sustainable businesses that they can, because I mean, inevitably, it's very hard to have one income families nowadays, right? Unfortunately, society set up that the both partners have to work.

And some partners have multiple sources of income.

So if you can learn to charge your worth, um, and worth meaning at the time, right? Like there's no set number for what you're providing, but to gradually increase it as you gain education and experience without guilt.

That is so

true.

Yeah.

Cause I was just having a conversation with a client and like, I feel like women give away like pick your brain, coffee chats and all those kinds of things for free.

Yeah.

A man would be like charging for all of his

time.

Yep.

It's so true.
