Instagram has been my thing since before I even had a photography business, but this year, my content looked a little different. I hired a social media manager, leaned into more nuanced topics, and started paying closer attention to what was actually working instead of just guessing. And spoiler: my best-performing posts were not the perfectly designed, “Pinterest-worthy” ones.In this episode, I'm breaking down my best Instagram content from the year and what all of those posts had in common.You'll hear what kind of posts actually did the best for my brand photography and education business and how you can also use those patterns to create better, more strategic Instagram content of your own.We're talking:Why I finally hired help for Instagram, even though social media has always been “my thing”How I identified my best-performing posts (and what those posts actually were - see them on the blog!)What my top content had in common: 5 main thingsHow “I” language and personal stories can still be super valuable for your audienceWhy leaning into hotter topics made my content more funHow behind-the-scenes and milestone posts ended up in my top performersLinks & Resources:
When life feels heavy or uncertain, joy can seem distant. But in this week's Advent message, Pastor Corey shows from John 16:16–22 and Matthew 2:11 that Jesus offers a joy that isn't fragile, temporary, or tied to circumstances. It's a durable delight—rooted in God, generated by the Spirit, and strong enough to rise even in seasons of sorrow.From the wise men who were overwhelmed with joy at the sight of Jesus, to the disciples who learned that their grief would one day give way to rejoicing, Scripture reveals a God who transforms setbacks into victory. Just like Lasse Viren's legendary Olympic comeback, what looks like disaster in our lives often becomes the very place where God displays His glory.If you're facing discouragement, disappointment, or a season of waiting, this message helps you see how Christian joy doesn't ignore pain—it outlasts it.✔ Why joy is inevitable for those who walk with Jesus✔ How joy becomes unconditional, even when suffering remains✔ Why Christian joy can co-exist with sorrow✔ How God uses trials to produce deeper joy in us✔ Why our future with Christ makes joy eternal and secureShare this with someone who needs to be reminded that sorrow doesn't have the final word—joy does.

We've all had those moments where we know we need to post something…but have absolutely no idea what to say. In today's episode, I'm breaking down the simple mindset shift that will help you create better Instagram content without feeling like you have to reinvent the wheel every single time.Creating great content isn't about being clever. It's about being accurate, relevant, and empathetic. And one of the fastest ways to build trust is by speaking to your clients in the same words they use. Today I'm sharing where to find that language, how to use it, and why this approach works so well for brand photographers who want to create content that genuinely resonates.We're talking:The real reason you get stuck wondering what to postWhy client language is the foundation of strong messagingThe exact places to collect content ideasHow to stop writing for photographers and start writing for your actual brand clientsWhy vague, AI-ish captions don't convert...and what to do insteadHow to use repeated questions as your content roadmapLinks & Resources

Depression, burnout, and how God meets us there through the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 19. As we head into the holiday season, so many of us especially those in ministry are carrying silent exhaustion. You want to serve, you want to help people, you want to glorify the Lord… but the weight of it all can feel crushing. In this episode, I walk through Elijah's story in 1 Kings 19 and show you seven specific ways God dealt with his exhaustion, depression, and burnout and how He wants to minister to you in the same way. If you've ever thought, “I can't do this anymore,” or even like Elijah, “Lord, just take my life,” this conversation is for you. You are not faithless. You're exhausted. And God has a very tender, very intentional way of meeting you in that place. In this episode, you'll learn: - Why even strong believers and leaders hit the wall - How exhaustion and fear distort how you see yourself and your calling - What Elijah's story reveals about isolation, rumination, and “I'm the only one” thinking - The difference between spiritual failure and simply being worn out - How God restores your strength and re-establishes your purpose Where to dive in: 00:00 – Welcome & Holiday Overwhelm 02:40 – Elijah's Exhaustion Begins 09:50 – Running for His Life 13:30 – God's Care: Rest, Touch, Nourishment 17:10 – The Still Small Voice 30:10 – Correcting Elijah's Thinking 36:20 – Renewed Purpose 39:20 – Prayer & Encouragement If you're on the edge of burnout or quietly battling depression, this is your invitation to let God reset your body, mind, and spirit.

Almost every brand photographer has said it at some point: “My clients only want a one-hour session.” And honestly? I get why that feels true; I used to believe it too. But one-hour brand shoots are keeping so many photographers stuck, exhausted, and wildly underpaid.In this episode, we're getting into why short sessions are creating chaos (for you and your clients) and why introducing a signature session is one of the fastest ways to elevate your work, raise your prices, and get clients the results they actually want.This episode walks through what a signature session includes, how to position it, and what it takes to confidently remove “time” from your packages, so you can finally price based on value instead of minutes on your watch.We're talking:Why one-hour brand sessions lead to chaos, over-delivery, and burned-out photographersThe #1 mindset shift photographers need to stop underchargingWhat a signature session actually looks likeHow to confidently push back when clients say they “only need an hour”Why time shouldn't be on your pricing/services pageA peek inside the brand-new pricing module inside Behind the Shot (and the Black Friday deal!)Links & Resources

In this episode, we explore Proverbs 26:1–12 as a cautionary tale that exposes the downward spiral of folly and the danger of letting our values drift from Scripture. Solomon paints a vivid picture of the fool, calling out the ways we applaud folly when our morals become culturally shaped rather than biblically grounded. We talk about the importance of “knowing the soil,” applying wisdom with discernment, and paying attention to the convictions God is pressing on our hearts. With Proverbs' strong language about sin and foolishness, this passage challenges us to stop whitewashing areas of folly and ask honestly: What has God been trying to tell you, and are you willing to listen?WHAT IS NEUE THING?Neue Thing is a non-profit ministry, founded by Cherie Wagner, that exists to equip women with the Word of God. Cherie's life-long passion is two-fold: knowing Jesus Christ and making Him known.

We spend so much time stressing about pitch decks…the formatting, the stats, and the perfect slide order. But honestly, that's not what trips most founders up. The real issue is way simpler: a lot of us just aren't telling investors what they actually need to hear. Not because our ideas are bad, but because the way we explain them ends up hiding the good stuff. Last week I listened to sixteen founder pitches in a row. Different industries, different personalities, and different business models. And while every single one had real potential, almost all of them shared the same 5 blind spots. What stood out wasn't the mistakes themselves, but how shockingly easy they are to fix. The founders who nailed just a few simple things immediately came across clearer, more confident, and honestly… way more fun to listen to. The difference between a forgettable pitch and a memorable one usually isn't a full overhaul. It's tiny tweaks, and once those clicks happen, the whole pitch lands differently. In this episode, I go through the 5 common mistakes I see in founder pitches, and why correcting them will get (and keep) the attention of investors. Topics Covered; Why most founders bury the most important part of the pitch How jargon kills investor confidence, even when the idea is great. The "single-takeaway rule" that instantly makes your deck clearer and more persuasive What investors actually want to know about your funding ask Invisible deal-breakers: lack of passion, weak projection, and low energy How to present traction even when you don't have revenue yet How to communicate a credible 18-month plan investors can believe in Verbal, visual, and emotional signals that matter far more than data points About Your Host Jayla Siciliano, Shark Tank entrepreneur turned real estate investor, excels in building brands, teams, and products.

Imagine nurturing a seed for years, only to wonder if it will ever sprout. This week, my sister Jenny Brown joins us on a heartfelt journey to explore the profound lessons in patience from nature and scripture. We reflect on the wisdom of James 5:7 and draw inspiration from the incredible resilience of the Chinese bamboo tree, which teaches us that growth often happens beneath the surface long before it becomes visible. Pastor Harry Saylor enriches our conversation with a story about ancient seeds that retained their vitality over centuries, reminding us that persistence and faith can bridge the gap between our efforts and their eventual fruition. Together, we tackle the cultural struggle between the need for instant results and the enduring value of patience. With Jenny's insights, we emphasize the importance of cultivating deep roots in our faith, communities, and careers to withstand life's inevitable storms. We share stories of personal faith and trust in divine guidance, even when circumstances feel daunting, like a family navigating a challenging house purchase. Our talk underscores the importance of character over charisma and encourages you to trust in God's provision, holding tight to the belief that your seeds will bloom in their season. Join us for a conversation that nourishes the spirit and encourages you to keep sowing seeds of faith and patience.

For years, there was a formula for raising money from VC's: perfect your pitch deck, polish your twelve slides, practice the elevator pitch, and hope someone in the limited VC circle gives you a shot. But that formula worked in a different era, when venture capital was still a close knit club and the same 1,200 people decided which ideas got funded. Those limited rules don't apply anymore. And this shift is not only relevant in VC but also when pitching angel investors. What Robert Harary has lived firsthand is that the investors who matter today aren't looking for perfect companies. They're looking for founders who are honest, self-aware, and willing to build in the open. The people who win now aren't necessarily the most connected; they're the ones who are real, transparent, and building relationships instead of performances. Robert's story is a perfect example of that shift. He raised his first million at 17 with zero network, went on to back more than 300 startups as a VC, and is now building Raisi.ai, a platform that automatically connects founders and investors, no warm intros required. In this conversation, we talk about why the old "pitch-only based" era of fundraising is over, what he sees as a new partnership-driven model, and how authenticity has quietly replaced access as the most valuable currency in venture capital. Topics Covered; Why the old fundraising playbook stopped working, and what replaced it How to raise capital without a network, connections, or pedigree What investors now value most in founders (and why "perfect" is a red flag) How to shift from perfect pitch-based to partnership-based fundraising The rise of platforms like Raisi.ai and what they signal about the future of venture How transparency and imperfection can actually strengthen investor trust What the post-2021 "venture reset" means for early-stage founders How founders can build investor relationships months before raising a round The subtle red flags that turn investors off before a single slide is shown Guest Bio Robert Harary is an early-stage VC investor, founder, and lifelong believer that access to capital shouldn't depend on who you know. He found his first deal while sitting in high school detention and has spent the decade since working to make fundraising more transparent, efficient, and equitable. Today, Robert is the #2 at Evolution VC Partners, a leading firm with 300+ portfolio companies in the Culture Tech space. Robert co-founded Raisi, a platform that automatically connects founders and investors, matching great ideas with the right capital every eight minutes. Raisi is built on a simple belief: founders shouldn't have to rely on elite networks or endless introductions to get funded. The company is redefining how startups raise money by making investor access smarter, faster, and more inclusive. Collectively, the companies Robert has worked with have raised more than $1.2 billion from firms like Sequoia, a16z, Accel, YC, and Village Global.

Free Registration HERE https://dramymorris.easywebinar.live/event-registration-3 The words "You have cancer" change everything. When I heard them, I felt my entire world collapse in an instant. But what's even more shocking is how I caught it — and what I know now that I wish every woman knew before it's too late. Cancer doesn't always come with pain, lumps, or obvious symptoms. Mine started as something small, something easy to ignore — until it wasn't. In this episode, I'm sharing how I discovered my cancer, what the early warning signs really looked like, and how awareness can literally save your life. So let me show you how it's done.

In this episode, I sit with my sister, Jenny Brown, to talk about a powerful biblical principle that affects every part of your life. If you want to reap, you have to plant. What you sow is what you will harvest, and Scripture shows that God works through very specific seasons and appointed times. We walk through Ecclesiastes 3 and the many scriptures that talk about time, what it means to sow intentionally, how to avoid careless seed, and how to trust God with the outcome. Jenny also shares practical stories and powerful lessons about obedience, prayer, timing, and the everyday seeds that shape our future. If you have been praying and waiting, or if you feel like you are in a season of drought, this message will help you see your moment in a new light. God has appointed times for travail, growth, and happiness. Your job is to plant with intention. God is the Lord of the Harvest. In this episode you will learn: • Why time in Scripture has multiple meanings and why that matters for your season • The spiritual principle of sowing and reaping • Why your words, actions, and attitude are seeds • Why careless seeds produce unwanted harvests • Why obedience in the moment matters • How to plant for the future you want • Why you cannot control the outcome • Why God controls the harvest and the timing Key Scriptures: Genesis 18.10Genesis 24.11Genesis 38.27Ecclesiastes 3Ephesians 6.7-8Luke 6.31-38Galatians 6.7Romans 12.1 If this message encourages you, make sure to subscribe so you can hear part two of this teaching next week.

Have you ever faced a challenge that felt impossible — a situation so overwhelming that fear seemed louder than your faith? In this message, Pastor Steven Staton walks us through 1 Samuel 17 and reminds us that the story of David and Goliath is not ultimately about our strength, our courage, or “facing our giants.” It's about God's glory, God's power, and God's Champion.While Israel trembled before Goliath, God raised up an unlikely deliverer in David — a shepherd boy armed not with skill or size, but with confidence in the Lord. Yet this moment points to something far greater: Jesus, the true and better David, who stepped onto the battlefield of sin and death and won the victory we never could.This message will challenge and encourage you to shift your focus from the size of your battles to the greatness of your God. You'll discover why we don't fight for victory but from victory — because our Champion has already won.Key Scriptures:1 Samuel 17Colossians 2:13–151 John 4:4Watch, reflect, and share:• Desire God's glory above everything else.• Trust God's power over every challenge.• Look to Jesus — the ultimate Champion who never leaves you.
If you've ever heard someone mention the “5–5–5 postpartum rule” and wondered, okay…but what does that actually look like in real life? This episode is your new best friend.We're breaking down the 5–5–5 rule the way we explain it to our own clients:five days in your bed, five days on your bed, five days around your bed… and zero days trying to pretend you didn't just grow and birth a whole human.We talk about what's really happening in your body after birth (yes, including the dinner-plate-sized internal wound nobody warns you about), why your hormones and adrenaline trick you into thinking you're fine, and how that “quick trip to Target” on day three is usually the moment everything hits the fan.We also get into the messy, practical stuff — what this looks like when you have a toddler, when your partner can't take time off, when family wants to come hold the baby but not the laundry, and how to ask for actual help instead of the kind where someone brings a onesie and leaves.This isn't about doing nothing. It's about doing less, on purpose, so your body can do the healing it's already trying so hard to do.If you're pregnant, planning postpartum, or supporting someone who is, this episode gives you the honest, real-world version of the 5–5–5 rule — the one that leaves space for grace, rest, and everything you're carrying (physically and emotionally) in those first weeks home.Want to learn more?

Have you ever felt like your prayers are hitting a wall, like you are in a spiritual drought and God seems silent? In this episode of The Jaime Luce Podcast, I share from 1 Kings 17 and 18 about how God uses dry seasons to deepen our faith, strengthen our roots, and prepare us for the abundance of rain that is coming. Elijah's story has always encouraged me because it reminds us that when we see nothing, it does not mean God is doing nothing. I talk about how obedience in the drought positions us for breakthrough and why the miracle often comes only after we go again. Here is what you will learn in this episode: - Why God allows spiritual droughts and how they prepare you for blessing - The importance of repairing your altar, your prayer life, before the rain comes - How the widow's obedience released a miracle in her home - How to grow deeper roots in hard times and keep your faith alive - The power of persistence when everything looks dry If you are waiting for your suddenly, your breakthrough, or your downpour, this message is for you. Do not give up. God is faithful, and your rain is coming.

If you need answers, you need an altar. When life feels overwhelming, prayers seem unanswered, and your efforts produce no results, this message is for you. In this Bible study, Jaime Luce walks through 1 Kings 18 and Elijah's confrontation with the prophets of Baal and shows a powerful truth: If the altar is broken, the answers will not come. If you are sacrificing to the wrong thing, the results will always disappoint. Elijah did not ask God to send fire until the altar of the Lord was repaired. Many people are exhausted because they are giving their time and energy to things that cannot give life. Meanwhile, the altar God commanded stands neglected. In this episode, you will learn: • What a biblical altar truly represents • Why your approach to God matters • How humility positions you to hear from God • Why worship without sacrifice leads to frustration • How to rebuild what has been spiritually broken • How God responds to a heart fully surrendered to Him God is not silent. He is waiting. Real answers begin where real surrender happens. It is time to repair the altar. Where to dive in: (00:08) Rebuilding Your Altar (13:24) Examining Our Altars for Success (26:13) Repairing Your Approach to God (38:25) Approaching God Boldly With Surrender Scripture References: 1 Kings 18,2 Samuel 24:24,Hebrews 4:14 to 16,,James 4:3 to 10Isaiah 55:8 to 9 Reflection Questions: • Have I been expecting answers from the wrong altar? • What needs to be surrendered in my life? • Where is God calling me to draw near to Him again?
