In This Episode We Talk About

Katie Levine went from interning at Vogue and assisting Annie Leibovitz to becoming one of the first female assistants on that team in a decade. She has photographed celebrities, shot magazine covers, and built a career most people dream about. And then she became a mom. In this episode, Katie and I get into the identity shift that blindsides you when motherhood collides with a career you spent 18 years building. We talk about what it really looks like to restructure your business, your friendships, and your expectations when the old version of you no longer fits.

Key Takeaways

✨ Losing yourself after baby is real and finding yourself again starts with one intentional choice at a time

✨ Your brand is not your bio. Know who you are before you book the shoot.

✨ Perfection will keep you stuck. Progress will set you free.

✨ Friendships shift after kids and that is not a reflection of your worth

✨ Outsource what drains you so you can stay in your genius zone
