Be the FIRST to know about my private Mastermind Group: https://johnbunn.myflodesk.com/mentorship In this episode of the Shifting Focus Podcast, I sit down with wedding photographer and educator Summer Grace to talk about burnout, sustainability, and what it actually takes to build a business that lasts. Summer shares how she transitioned from elopements to larger weddings, how COVID reshaped her priorities, and the role social media played in her early growth. We talk about designing intentional client experiences, why her engagement sessions are built differently, and how in person connection continues to matter in an increasingly online industry. We also dive into Summer School, the educational side of her brand, and how she is building community and long term support for photographers through education and shared experience. This conversation is about choosing longevity over pressure, creativity over constant growth, and building a wedding business that supports your life instead of consuming it. If you are feeling stretched thin, creatively drained, or questioning the pace of your business, this episode offers a clear look at what another path can look like.   Summer Grace Website https://summergracephoto.com/  Summer Grace Instagram https://www.instagram.com/summergrace.photo/  Summer School Education https://www.instagram.com/the_summerschool/  Summer Grace Podcast https://summergracephoto.com/podcast-shownotes

Ask Jac & Ben A Question!Introducing our new segment, We Need To Talk (WNTT). Where Ben & Jac tackle the issues no-one talks about in the Wedding Industry.Ever sat in your car before a wedding, heart racing, convinced you can't possibly deliver what your clients expect—despite years of successful experience? You're not alone.This candid conversation pulls back the curtain on the wedding industry's silent epidemic: anxiety, imposter syndrome, and the crushing self-doubt that plagues even the most accomplished professionals. When Ben shared a raw video about his pre-wedding anxiety after 20+ years and 1000+ weddings, the response was overwhelming. Countless wedding pros admitted they face the same struggles but never felt safe discussing them openly.Timing couldn't be more relevant as the wedding industry faces a significant economic downturn in 2024. After the post-COVID boom years of 2021-2023, many businesses are experiencing dramatic drops in inquiries, smaller wedding budgets, and mounting financial pressure—all factors that intensify professional anxiety. We explore how these external stressors compound the internal battles many creatives already fight.Beyond simply naming the problem, we share practical strategies for managing these moments: education as confidence-building, specific breathing techniques, planning systems, and community support. We also discuss how underlying factors like ADHD, hormonal changes, and other biological realities shape our professional experiences in ways rarely acknowledged in business conversations.The most powerful takeaway? You deserve to be in that room. The couple chose you specifically, above all others. Your anxiety doesn't define your abilities—and understanding that everyone from newcomers to industry veterans experiences these same feelings can be the first step toward healthier relationships with ourselves and our work.Join our community as we continue these essential conversations about the realities of creative entrepreneurship. You're never as alone as your anxiety wants you to believe. Support the show
