This week, we are joined by Diane Downs! Diane is a CPA, Virtual CFO and Business Coach with a passion for living in the present moment, achieved through macro photography. Diane chats with Kristyn about how participating in a 365-project has helped her value presence in life, the resistance that comes from questioning what matters, and how the power of printing our images can become both a motivator and mirror of progress.

On this week's minisode, Kristyn reflects on setting and achieving goals. Sometimes we can get so stuck on achieving the goal itself, that we lose sight of whats more important – like WHO you are being on the way to achieving that goal. Kristyn shares some tips and questions she asks herself when attuning her own goals, and how she stays anchored with herself on the way to achieving those goals.   Interested in 1:1 coaching?

In this week's minisode, Kristyn reflects on having to be "on" all the time, and the challenge of being pulled to work while also being pulled to be present. As a photographer, so much of the work involves practicing presence in order to capture what's unfolding before us. And paying attention to the world around us, being here now, practicing mindfulness - all of it fuels our creativity. It just takes practice, and Kristyn shares some of the techniques that have worked for her - including breathing & movement exercises.   Learn more about what we do at www.thedocumentedheart.com

In today's minisode, we're talking about our photography Archives. In looking back through personal Archives, there are so many things that can illicit a complex sense of self or resurface a memory or feeling beyond just what's in the frame. Every photo we take is a part of the work of becoming the artist that we are meant to be, so what if our personal work can give us more insight into ourselves too?   Learn more at www.thedocumentedheart.com  Interested in receiving the weekly newsletters?
