Podcasts about bookings

Grieving the loss of your professional experiences isn't a weakness—it's your nervous system trying to finish a story it hasn't been allowed to tell. This is why losing a creative job, a client, a team, a title, or even the daily rhythm of creative work doesn't just sting us emotionally—it rewires our brain's chemistry. In this episode, we discuss what happens when the routines, recognition, and relationships that fuel your brain's reward system suddenly vanish, and how unprocessed grief can trap you in rumination mode, searching for closure your brain never got.You'll also hear 3 key strategies you can use to process difficult professional experiences, PLUS a very important announcement from Jamie Roberts.

If you've been in the messy middle of your elopement photography business, you know how defeating it can feel. You're showing up, posting blogs, and running ads, but you're still not getting the bookings you've been hoping for. My returning guest, California-based elopement photographer Kristin Smith, has been there too.

She dives into the mindset shifts that helped her move from scarcity to abundance and how learning to say no to unaligned clients created space for her dream couples.   Tune in now if you've been feeling stuck in your elopement photography business and you're ready to move away from the messy middle to thriving.    Take a listen to Kristin's first episode back in May: Episode 115 - Why the Messy Middle Is a Normal Part of Growing Your Elopement Photography Business with Kristin Smith     Connect with Kristin:    Instagram: @kristin.smith.photography Website: kristinsmithphotography.com     Connect with Megan:

In this Hosting Hotline episode, Sarah and Annette take on a question from a new host who's been live on Airbnb for a month without a single booking. Frustrated, they're wondering if the problem is market saturation, high guest fees, or simply the fact that the neighbor's house has a pool.If you've ever launched a property and heard crickets, you're not alone. Sarah and Annette walk through the mindset shift and tactical steps every host needs when bookings aren't rolling in:Stop blaming what you can't control. Saturation, guest fees, and neighbor amenities aren't the full story. Hosts need to focus on the levers they can control.Audit your listing presentation. Are your photos professional, clear, and guest-focused? Is your description highlighting unique value? Is your calendar even open and bookable?Identify true comps. The house with a pool isn't a fair comparison if you don't have one. Focus on properties with similar size, amenities, and guest profiles.Read your analytics. Airbnb's insights show where guests drop off, whether you're showing up in search, and what your conversion rate looks like. Data removes guesswork.Adopt an owner's mindset. Hosting isn't passive income — it's active business ownership. Treat your listing like a product that needs to be tested, tweaked, and improved.At the heart of this episode is a challenge to hosts: take extreme ownership. If your listing isn't getting booked, don't wait for Airbnb's algorithm to save you. The hosts who succeed are the ones who audit their listing, study their competition, and make data-driven changes until they get results.Resources mentioned: YouTube Video: The Secret Airbnb Setting That Improves Listings by 300% – Deep dive into Airbnb settings that can boost visibility and conversions.Mentioned in this episode:Lodgify | Use code TFV20

Natalie Martin isn't your typical wedding photographer — and she definitely doesn't follow the crowd. While most photographers lead with digital files and hope clients come back for an album, Natalie has flipped the script. Her couples start with an album — and pay a premium for the experience that goes with it. The result? A thriving business averaging $6,000+ per wedding, consistent bookings, and a schedule that still leaves room for family, travel, and life. In this interview, Natalie shares the mindset shifts, booking process, and quiet confidence that have shaped her approach — from handling pricing objections without discounting, to turning wedding venues into steady referral partners. If you've ever wondered how to raise your prices, simplify your offers, and fall back in love with the work itself, you'll love this one.

If you've ever felt like you're constantly chasing clients, posting endlessly on social media, or paying for ads that don't work — this episode is for you. I'm diving deep into how to market less and still have consistent bookings in your private practice. You'll learn why client retention matters more than constant marketing, how to improve it ethically, and how to create genuine connection through “surprise and delight” moments that make your clients remember and return to you. This episode is perfect for women in private practice like counsellors, psychologists, social workers, and play therapists  who are ready to stop feeling behind, overwhelmed, or burnt out by endless marketing and start building a business that feels sustainable, aligned, and deeply fulfilling. You'll walk away understanding how to reduce the pressure on yourself by shifting from constant client chasing to creating memorable experiences that naturally support long-term bookings. You'll also learn the difference between over-delivering and overworking and how to do less while helping your practice thrive. Quick win: Pick one way to “surprise and delight” your clients this week, something small, thoughtful, and aligned with your values (like a check-in message, an unexpected resource, or a thank-you note). Notice how it strengthens your connection and energy.
