DC Small Business Session: Release your Resentments

When small business owners ask me to take portraits for them (not headshots, fyi! lifestyle portraits), they hire me to capture the essence of who they are. Even now, word of mouth is still how I get a lot of my clients. It says a lot when an inquiry hits my inbox and they begin by telling me that I truly captured their friend’s spirit. [Secret: on the one hand, I’m like, YES, that’s because I get to know you during my shoots, that’s because we talk, and you’re truly YOURSELF during my shoots. …on the other hand I’m like, OH, no pressure!]

Rebekah’s coaching practice, Release your Resentments, helps people move past resentments and become the best version of themselves. She met with me at Fostr Collaborative, where, to get her to talk to me like a client and get in her zone, I brought up some of my own business (which bleeds into personal) issues. Rebekah asked a question that stuck with me. “What if instead of worrying 70% of the time, you worried 30%, and just let go for the rest?” Did that ever change a lot for me. More about that another time. But suffice it to say, this woman is magical and REAL.

Her website says, “It’s time to feel proud of how you show up in the world.” I can’t wait to talk to her again and leave just as fired up and free.
