AMA's, Going Solo, & Steal My Template
It's been fun taking you behind the scenes of my forthcoming book, sharing blind excerpts
It's been fun taking you behind the scenes of my forthcoming book, sharing blind excerpts, and reading your reactions to them. Thank you to all of you who've joined my newly launched Golden B. Broadcast channel over on Instagram. I'm excited to host my first live AMA session there today and hope you'll pop by to share your thoughts and ask your questions.
It's my hope you all will see how similar your thoughts and feelings about your photos are. It is easy to convince ourselves that we feel these things in isolation and assume others have it easier than we do. The Golden B. Broadcast channel is a space to remove the stigma and shame around self-image, self-perception, and the sharing of our photos.
I'll see you there.

Tackling everything from how to finally see yourself, to building confidence, to reclaiming and revealing your moxie, through the camera lens, with real-life stories, mic-drop moments, and actionable steps.

Ever feel a twinge of guilt for the poor guy holding the selfie stick while his girlie poses for pictures?
It’s time to free the human selfie sticks, the uncredited partners behind the lens ✌️
Coined in 2015 having an “Insta husband” is still a sought-after asset today by many a femmepreneur.
While supportive partners are amazing, the truth is you don’t need to wait for someone else to capture your powerful presence. In fact according to an article in The Atlantic “Instagram husbands” are stepping into their own spotlight - so should you!
Your Next Moves to Go Solo:
* Master the art of posing with our free Pose With Purpose Guide. Learn to reflect your unique energy through powerful posing.
* Unlock the power of self-portraits & video content: Easy Self-Portrait & Video Content Toolkit equips you to take stunning photos and captivating videos all by yourself.
With these two resources, you’ll be a one-person creative force!
👌My secret to loving your photos: It’s not just about looking good. It’s about how you feel when you look at those photos.
Try these ideas for your first solo session:
📌Spark Curiosity: Draw viewers in with a subtle side glance and a hint of a smile, creating a sense of mystery.
📌Embrace Vulnerability: Show genuine emotions - send out a soft flare, show us who you are, and watch the responses roll in.
📌Create Artistic Tension: Play with light and shadow. Partially obscure your face, dim the lights, and explore your shadow side.
Next Step, put it together in a self portrait.
