    what better way to start the year than to honor the Lord by bringing him into our businesses?

    Welcome to the Called to Stand out podcast!

    Do you feel like you’re barely surviving most days, trying to balance motherhood and a business that seems more like an expensive hobby? Like YOU KNOW that God put this dream in your heart but you can’t shut up the negative thoughts every time you get sucked down the comparison spiral or start to hit burnout again?

    Hey girl, my name is Marina- I’m a wife, boy mom and photographer on a mission to build your confidence and speak life when the lies inside your head get a little too loud. I know the mom guilt all too well, constantly going from feeling guilty that your kids need you to being frustrated that your business does too. Maybe you’re tired of trying to keep up with the trends or you’re exhausted chasing the elusive idea of balance. Over the last ten years the Lord has been so faithful in leading me to grow my photography business in a way that honors him and honors my family. We’re doing business a different way over here and in this podcast I’m sharing all the ways I’ve been able to truly find joy and

    even peace in the chaos of it all.

    So welcome! This is your safe space to grow in confidence, ditch hustle culture and grow a sustainable photography business with margin to truly enjoy life in every single area God has called you to.

    Go find your lukewarm coffee, friend. You don’t have to do this alone

    let's stay connected!
