046 - The Art of Mourning: How Grief Shapes Our Creative Process

I speak with photographers Erica Leman and Lindsey Turner about grief and loss and how they effect our ability to feel creative. We also discuss our own person grief journeys and when we felt like we had turned a corner towards being creative again.

About Erica Leman

Erica Leman of Sweet Alice Photography is a wedding photographer and photography business coach located in the Hudson Valley of New York (Yes, her name is Erica, not Alice – Alice is her cat). When she's not spending time photographing weddings and teaching others how to run a profitable wedding photography business of their own, she's likely cuddling with her pets (two dogs and two cats), hiking with her husband, or doing a puzzle.

You can also find Erica on Facebook and Instagram.
