What do you get when you mix a paddleboard, high expectations, and two humans with emotions?Definitely not the relaxing date we envisioned. But maybe... a deeper kind of win?This was not our best date… but maybe it was one of our best recoveries.We went on a paddleboard date thinking it'd be relaxing and fun—but being stuck on the same board triggered us both in different ways. Instead of letting the day spiral, we each practiced managing our own emotions without blaming the other. It wasn't a romantic home run, but it was a huge sign of growth. In this episode, we talk about how emotional flooding can happen even in fun moments—and how the real win is learning to stay connected while dysregulated. Because the goal isn't to never get triggered—it's to grow in how you show up when you are.Our Pre-Marriage E-course is like coaching from your couch.

Ever feel like you've just stopped caring? What we're really talking about is apathy - that mental shrug that says "whatever" to your own dreams. It's not burnout or depression, but rather that in-between zone where you're not suffering, but definitely not growing.   We explore why your brain confuses rest with relief from risk, and how this protection mechanism might be keeping you stuck. The real antidote isn't harsh discipline or pushing harder - it's radical self-respect. We share practical strategies for reconnecting with your goals and showing up for yourself with the same fierce loyalty you'd show for someone you love.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.ambitious-ish.com/67

We all interact with controlling people and sometimes the controlling person we most interact with is in the mirror. So… how do we fight the sin of control? How do we trust God to take it? Let's learn a few lessons from Ahab and Jezebel on what NOT to do in week 3 of Chasing Carrots.

Crissy from Bristol went on a great first date, and now she's being ghosted. She wants to know why her date is avoiding her calls and texts. 

In this episode, I reveal why knowing your strengths and building the right support team is essential for a sustainable design business. Learn how to identify which tasks drain your energy, determine what type of support to hire first, and make the mindset shift from doing everything yourself to leading a team that complements your unique abilities. Plus, discover why "Control Freak" isn't a personality type—it's just a sign you haven't found the right support yet.Hope you enjoy the episodeBeth xxWhy Knowing Your Strengths is EssentialWhen you know your strengths, you unlock the ability to work more efficiently, enjoy your work more, make better decisions, and grow your business beyond just you.Not knowing your strengths leads to burnout. You end up trying to wear all the hats—bookkeeper, graphic designer, marketing strategist, admin fairy, tech support, and somehow still deliver amazing design work. It's exhausting and frankly, it's not sustainable.To identify your strengths, ask yourself:• What tasks light you up and feel easy?• What do clients rave about when they work with you?• Where do you consistently over-deliver?• What do you lose track of time doing?Conversely, identify what drains you:• What do you procrastinate on for weeks?• What tasks do you consistently think "I should have figured this out by now"?Your Strengths Aren't Just About SkillYour zone of genius isn't just about what you're good at—it's about what energizes you.The things that energize you, that's your zone of genius. That's where you belong. Everything else, that's where your support team comes in.Who Should Be on Your Dream TeamDifferent designers need different support, but these roles are common in successful design businesses:Admin/VA Support• Sending invoices and following up• Managing emails and calendar• Handling onboarding steps• Following up on proposalsYou shouldn't be sending out your own invoices and chasing them two weeks later. This one is best for designers who get stuck in the admin weeds and want to free up time to focus on client and creative work.Bookkeeper and AccountantUnless you love numbers, this one really is a non-negotiable. A good bookkeeper will keep you on track and make you feel less anxious when you open up Xero or QuickBooks.This support is ideal for designers who avoid looking at their P&L or don't even have one.Marketing or Social Media HelpIf showing up on Instagram, writing captions, or sending newsletters feels like pulling teeth, this might be your priority hire.Even a few hours a month from a marketing VA or copywriter can keep your studio visible and consistent. This one's really good for designers who know marketing matters but never make time for it.System SupportFor designers whose business feels held together with DMs, spreadsheets, and hope, systems support can be transformative.This one is close to my heart because you know how much I love a good process. This one is great for designers who want to scale, but feel like chaos is holding them back.Design Assistant or Junior DesignerWhen you're booked out and the next level isn't more hours but more help, bringing on design support makes sense.Even just starting with one to two days a week from someone junior who can take drafting, sourcing, or supply communication off your plate. This one is best for designers who want to keep growing without dropping the ball.Starting Small and StrategicYou don't need to hire all these roles at once.• Start with the hire that will give you the most energy or time back• Ask yourself what would immediately take weight off your shoulders• Consider what you would do with that freed-up time• Look within your current network for freelancers or part-time supportSupport doesn't always mean full-time or even part-time.The Mindset ShiftBeing a great business owner isn't about being a hero who does everything. It's about being a leader who knows where they shine and gets the right people around them to do the rest.This episode is essential for interior designers who are feeling overwhelmed by wearing all the hats in their business and ready to build a support team that allows them to focus on their zone of genius.

The Cinematography Podcast Episode 309: Scott Siracusano The Hulu original horror film, Control Freak, plunges audiences into the unraveling world of Val (Kelly Marie Tran), a motivational speaker tormented by an unrelenting itch on the back of her head. Is it a manifestation of her own mind, or is she falling prey to a parasitic demon from her homeland? Control Freak is a body horror film that delves deep into themes of control, perfectionism, mental health, and generational trauma. Cinematographer Scott Siracusano has known Control Freak writer and director Shal Ngo since 2019. The two made a short, The Box, which went to the prestigious Cameraimage Film Festival in Poland. Their creative partnership continued on another short film, Control, for season two of Hulu's Bite Size Halloween. When Ngo was invited to expand Control into a feature-length film, Control Freak was conceived. Scott was captivated by the script and eager for the creative challenges it presented. Unfortunately, the film hit several roadblocks and delays before shooting was finally greenlit by the network. As a first-time feature DP, Scott had to meet with producers and pitch himself as the best cinematographer for the film. Championed by Ngo, Scott meticulously prepared a lookbook and presented his scene-by-scene shooting strategy in an hour-long meeting, ultimately securing his role as the film's cinematographer. One of the most significant cinematographic challenges on Control Freak was executing its underwater sequences. Due to a limited budget, there wasn't enough time or money to shoot the actors in real tanks of water. Scott chose to use dry for wet film techniques, where smoke, specialized filters, and dynamic lighting effects are skillfully combined to simulate an underwater environment. Inspiration for this approach came from Dan Laustsen's masterful work in The Shape of Water. “What I realized is that it is truly a less is more situation,” Scott says. “We need to have the caustics of water and moving lights that you would feel on your subject in tandem with atmosphere, and particles that could be added as effects. I was like, 'I think we could pull this off. I think we could actually do this.'” The biggest concern was creating realistic hair and body movement floating in water, so the actors' hair was tied back for these scenes. The production team found a music performance space where they could build a wire rig, enabling the actors to “float.” For close ups, Scott found simply having the actors sit and move around on a yoga ball effectively created a floating effect. Two projectors helped simulate water patterns, and the room was filled with atmospheric haze. Subtle fill light and slight camera movements completed the effect. Ultimately, these practical in-camera effects were so successful that the film required minimal visual effects for its underwater scenes. The lighting and color palette of Control Freak were crucial in establishing a claustrophobic atmosphere and exploring the film's central duality between sanity and madness. "We really wanted to lean into the surrealism and the dreamlike state of everything,” explains Scott. “Moonlight definitely allowed us a little bit more shaping, and being able to hide the monster. I really wanted to have rich, detailed shadows that were never true black—always some detail, no matter how dark the shadows.” Val's house was intentionally kept as an enclosed space, with curtains constantly drawn, immersing the audience in her confinement and heightening their sense of being trapped alongside her. As a horror fan himself, Scott loved creating the look and feel of Control Freak. “It's so cool and fun being on set, in the actual world with the creature there.” His takeaways from lensing his first feature included the importance of faithfully executing the director's vision while remaining adaptable to the unpredictable nature of filmmaking. “Going into a feature,

In this "Best of TFB" flashback, we're going back in time to revisit one of our most memorable episodes: “Confessions of a Control Freak.” This was one of our most honest, light-hearted, and revealing discussions about what it really means to be labeled a “control freak”—both at home and in business. And since we've welcomed so many new listeners over the years, you may have never gotten the chance to hear it. You'll hear Steve and Mary Alessi dive into the ways control can show up in our daily lives, from wanting things just right in the family or workplace, to the difference between healthy leadership and destructive, hidden manipulation.

Control isn't just a personality trait—it's a trauma response.In this episode, I unpack why many survivors become hyper-controlling, even as they try to heal and lead.It's time to understand the nervous system's need for control—and how to soften it with compassion and clarity.

Have you ever noticed that no matter how many relationship books you read or communication workshops you attend, you still end up having the same fights? That's because we've been approaching conflict all wrong. The "when you do X, I feel Y" statements aren't fixing the real problem underneath.   We're here to blow your mind with this truth: conflict resolution isn't primarily about communication techniques—it's about understanding your nervous system. When tension builds and disagreements happen, your body isn't reacting to the current situation. It's responding to everything it has ever learned about what conflict means to you. This changes everything about how we approach disagreements.    Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.ambitious-ish.com/61   Schedule your free consultation for our new three-month coaching container here: https://kelleandnina.com
