Summary
What happens when your body forces you to stop before you're ready to? Max Sheffield (they/he) collapsed a block and a half from their kid's school. That was the moment that redefined how Max was able to move through this world -- in business, parenting, and in terms of how they approached rest. In this episode, we talk about building a business and a life around how your brain and body actually work instead of how capitalism says they should. We get into chronic illness and entrepreneurship and why your weirdness is your marketing advantage (lol we do that well around here!) If you've been white-knuckling your way through your to-do list and wondering why it's not working, this one's worth your time. ------ You can go find Max (and hire them if you want a marketer who will help you make your clients feel seen and not sold to!) over on IG @maxwildestories 🤳🏼 Get our FREE selfie guide: https://empowermentphotographer.com/selfie 🔗 Sign up for the #SelfietoSelfLove Challenge: selfietoselflove.com 📸 Follow us on Instagram: @empowermentstudio__ 🌐 Learn more about our boudoir sessions and Empowerment Experience: empowermentphotographer.com 👥 Join our Facebook Group: The Empowerment Studio
