This episode is going to pivot away from business a bit and dive more into the lifestyle side of the podcast that we love to cover here and there. Let's be real, if your business is running great but your life and body are falling apart, there's a problem! Well we're about to get really personal and specific in this episode and hopefully help a LOT of people today because we're talking about the dreaded curse most of us have dealt with or are still dealing with- acne. Our guests today are founders Kayleigh and Danielle from Clearstem Skincare, a non-toxic skincare line that targets acne, anti-aging, and scar reversing utilizing premium ingredients. Both women struggled with acne for years in spite of multiple dermatologists, specialists, multiple rounds of accutane, laser treatments, and more. Kayleigh and Danielle took a leap of faith and founded CLEARSTEM Skincare. Today we talk with Kayleigh and Danielle all about what MOST doctors and dermatologists don't tell you: there are ROOT causes of acne that YOU can address to support your body and skin. We cover things like: the biggest misconception people have about acne, the first steps you should take to heal your acne, your hormones, gut, and nutrition and how those influence your skin, what to be aware of in your products that may be aggravating your acne issues, how to find out which ingredients in your products you're using are pore cloggers, and SO much more.

Welcome to the show where we combine heart-felt girl chats with hardcore business and marketing strategies to help cultivate your life and business. Today's episode is a super fun one. We did an episode a while back (Episode 197 if you haven't listened to it yet) where we just came to the mic completely unscripted, vulnerable, and had an honest girl chat between us on the pressures of being online in this day and age, comparison, feeling the pressure to either be overly vulnerable online or overly curated. And the feedback we received from you was that you absolutely LOOVVEDDDDD that unscripted and honest girl chat episode. SOOOOO we decided to do it again on today's episode. Over the past year, we have slowly pivoted our business from being full-time wedding photographers to now focusing more on business coaching and running the heart as well as our other companies. And within that pivot, we've gone through a lot of uncertainty and lack of clarity on how to use our personal Instagrams to show up online. Are our Instagrams now considered influencers and purely personal accounts? Do we treat them purely as business coach accounts? How do we differentiate our own accounts from The Heart University's account? Behind the scenes, we've been on the struggle bus about ALL these questions, and today we're just openly and honestly pulling back the curtain to everything we've been internally discussing with each other, and you're getting a sneak peek into the raw vulnerability that comes from pivoting your business. If you've found yourself in a similar season OR you feel a lack of clarity when it comes to your own Instagram account, welcome! You're in the welcome territory. Cause same.

We are welcoming one of our team members onto the show today - the lovely and incredible KT Howie. KT was on the show before on Episode 173 where we chatted with her about her internship with Lindsey and The Heart. So if you haven't got an introduction into who this girl is, listen to that episode and then come back here because today we are chatting with KT all about her journey with doing a particular niche of photography that is NOT common at all - photographing the elderly. Today we talked about KT's journey in pioneering a new niche in the photography industry and some of her milestones along the way. KT shared her heart behind preserving the legacies and stories of the older generation and how that's fueled her business model and given her the strength to fight through establishing a whole new niche of photography. She talked with us about some of the biggest obstacles in her journey and her encouragement to other entrepreneurs feeling a tug to leave the beaten path and do their own thing. This episode is so rich and full of encouragement, inspiration, and purpose for those interested in pioneering a new idea or concept, as well as some deep and meaningful reminders of the value of others, their stories, and preserving the history and lessons of those who have gone before us.
