The Heart & Hustle Podcast

Have you ever hit burnout as a business owner? Ever dealt with anxiety, depression, or overwhelmed because you're trying to hustle your business into success, but simultaneously driving yourself into the ground? Today's episode is for YOU if so. We had our dear friend Amanda Coker on the show to share her story and to give you a much-needed dose of wisdom and encouragement. Amanda is an Atlanta-based photographer and entrepreneur; she is the founder of Dash Photography, a wedding + senior photography team, and Revīv Retreats, wellness retreats for women in business leadership. She believes sharing her journey with mental health and business brings purpose to the pain, and empowers women to find freedom in the midst of theirs. We talked about SO much with Amanda today. Her story of hitting complete and total burnout mentally about 4 years into her business because she wasn't caring for her body, her time, her relationships, and sacrificing it all on the altar of achievement. She chats about how anxiety and depression stemmed from that and the steps she took to take back her life and business. Near the end of the conversation she shares how 2020 personally affected her, and we can guarantee you will relate to even a little bit of her story. It's powerful. It's real. It's encouraging. Amanda holds nothing back, and we hope after you listen to this episode, you won't feel alone if you're struggling with overwhelm, anxiety, depression, and hitting burnout. It doesn't have to be this way.

Are you someone who hates their job? Struggle with viewing work as something positive and am constantly living for Fridays and your next vacation (not that vacations are bad)? Today's podcast episode is for the person who hates Mondays because you struggle with viewing work as something good. Full disclosure: This episode is coming from our foundational beliefs and worldviews as Christians and believers in God's word. And we don't apologize for that. We've never shied away from sharing our faith, and today's topic is SO foundational to the way God created us to live. We're diving deep today on if God intended work to be good or if it is a byproduct of the fall. We're chatting about practical ways you can deal with your job if you are currently in a job you loathe and hate. How can you steward where you're at with grace and a good attitude? And lastly, we chat about the opposite of work, REST. How important work and rest are in balance with each other, and so much more! Hopefully, this is gonna challenge you and encourage the crap outta you on your mindset regarding the work you do - whether you love it or hate it.

If you've ever wondered what the heck people are talking about when they say "passive income sources" or "diversifying your revenue streams" or you've just felt overwhelmed by the concept, even if you understand it, then today's episode is gonna hopefully help ya out big time. Today we break down over 9 ways you can diversify your business model and create multiple income streams. This is a short and snappy episode to pump you full of ideas that you can begin to run with.

We're chatting about something we think we all struggle with at one point or another to one extent or another. And wow it's a big one. Victim Mentality. Our mindsets are one of the most powerful tools (or land mines) we have in life. Having the right mindsets often leads to massive, long-lasting success. It's not just fluffy words and "you can do it" attitudes… it's deeply seeded psychological responses that dictate our actions in life. We're diving into one of the killer mindsets that can destroy us if we're not careful. The reality is, victim mentality keeps you from living the life God called you to live. We're believing lies that dictate our identity, worth, and abilities. It's one of the biggest roadblocks keeping you from success. We talk about how to know if you're struggling with a victim mentality and then dive into how to fight and overcome it. If you're ready to stop sitting around letting lies control your life, you're gonna want to listen to this episode. It is a tough-love episode but is also something that everyone struggles with in one form or another. It's also something that could be perceived as harsh, we're not wanting to call you out, but it also can prevent you from living out the life that God called you into. Step out of living like a victim and living in the true calling that God called you to. That is our heart behind this episode. It's to empower you and the best kick in the pants with the love possible and is a reminder for us as well.
