Life-Changing

This podcast has been exactly what I needed. It’s helped me push through mindset blocks I didn’t even realize were holding me back, while also teaching me so much along the way. Every episode gives me something new to think about, and I walk away feeling both challenged and motivated. I can’t recommend it more—if you’re looking for a podcast that will make you reflect, grow, and learn, this is it!

Sooooo good!

I love Leah’s podcast! She’s so transparent. I especially appreciate the pricing podcast episode where she walks us through her thought process through her years of photography experience.

Great, thoughtful podcast!

I came across Leah’s podcast after hearing her on another podcast I listen to. I immediately liked her vibe, and enjoyed how real and down to earth she is. She has years of real life experience, and as a mom myself trying to balance family life and growing my own photography business, I appreciate her advice and practical/actionable insights. I always end her podcast feeling uplifted and encouraged!

Thankful for this show

I loved hearing about how you started your journey - it was so relatable. I think my favorite part of your podcast is how down-to-earth you are and tell it like it is. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and wisdom with us! Currently listening to the podcast about your name change and it’s is such good info as I navigate a name and domain change. So helpful- thanks Leah!

One for your “follow” list

I have a handful of favorite photography podcasts, and I’m always looking for new ones. I’m just a handful of episodes, Photo Fuel is now on my short list of must-listens. Leah is experienced and encouraging, without being preachy or scoldy like some podcasts can tend to be. And everything is specific to Family photography which is PERFECT for what I need. She covers business and art in equal measure, and asks great questions. This is a young podcast that will only get better as she refines it over the coming months. 😀
