Thriving with ADHD with jen swedhin

Learn easy, actionable changes you can make to keep your business on track, improve your client experience, and work with your brain instead of against it. We'll cover three major sticky spots for ADHD brains - staying consistent, scheduling your day, and keeping things shiny (so our brains will stay engaged). We'll also cover how neurotypicals (non-ADHD brains) can approach working with neurodiverse brains to reduce frustrations and improve relations.

erotica 101 with aroha mcmillan

We've all heard of the "body positive" movement...right!? But did you know, there is also a community dedicated to being "sex-positive"??

This workshop is designed for those of you who are looking to push past traditional Boudoir boundaries and embrace a new era. No longer do our clients need to feel shame or ridiculed for wanting to explore their sexual nature, tendencies, or preferences. It's time to EMBRACE it!

In this class, I will be teaching my step by step approach on how you can tap into this ever-growing market while giving your clients the opportunity to explore their raw sexuality in an intimate and safe way. You will learn how I connect and market myself to this type of clientele, how I shoot, pose and light my subjects to create mood and atmosphere with heavy sexual undertones and how I operate an inclusive and sex-positive studio within my community.

Beautiful Boundaries: How to set boundaries in life & business

Anna Strickland is going to walk you through what boundaries are and what they are not, how to explore your boundaries, when (and if) to communicate your boundaries, and how to hold your boundaries and execute a plan of action when they are breached. Without proper boundaries in your business you can find yourself run down, bitter towards your clients, and running on fumes - let’s make sure that doesn’t happen because we want you to continue loving the amazing work that you do!
