CEO SZN | For Faith-Driven Photographers and Creative Entrepreneurs on Online Marketing, Messaging, Sales, Nervous System Regulation, Wealth Identity, and Photography Business Strategy.
Welcome to CEO SZN: Where Bold Leadership Meets Divine Alignment
This isn’t your typical podcast—it’s your space to lead boldly, align fully, and redefine success on your terms. CEO SZN is for women entrepreneurs who know they’re called to something bigger—something God-sourced, purpose-driven, and unapologetically powerful.
Here, we lead with the understanding that God is the ultimate CEO, the visionary guiding your path, while you step into your role as the steward-CEO—managing, building, and leading with faith, courage, and bold action. Together, it’s a partnership that transforms not just your business, but your identity.
We blend faith, science, and strategy to show you how to lead your business God’s way without losing your edge. It’s about trusting divine timing over hustle culture, building wealth that serves a kingdom purpose, and stepping into the CEO identity you were created for.
On this podcast, we’ll cover everything from sales and messaging to marketing your creative services and selling with soul. We’ll also explore identity shifts, nervous system regulation, faith-fueled decision-making, and scaling your business with clarity and courage.
This isn’t about playing it safe. It’s about living boldly, fiercely trusting God’s vision, and owning your CEO season with grit, grace, and God-given authority.
If you’re ready to stop hustling and start stewarding, to align your business with your faith and your power, this is the podcast for you. Because the world needs the bold leader God created you to be—and there’s no better time than now to step into it.

[22.] Comparison [Creativity Blocker Pt. 1]
[Resources mentioned in show linked below] As a photographer, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the constant comparison to others in the industry. The constant influx of images on social media platforms can make it seem like everyone else is doing better, booking more clients, and creating more stunning work. It's a common struggle for photographers to feel jealous of their peers and to compare their own work to others.
However, this comparison is not productive and can actually hold you back from reaching your full potential. It's important to remember that everyone's journey is different and that success is NOT measured by the number of followers or likes you have.
