062: What No One Told You About Gender Exploration (It's Not Too Late!)
What does it actually mean to explore your gender identity when you weren't raised with the language to do it? In this episode, I'm joined by co-host Rachael (she/her) and guest Audy Avery (they/all) to talk about non-binary identity, gender fluidity, and what it looks like to stop performing who you're supposed to be and start figuring out who you actually are. We get into pronouns, coming out later in life, raising gender-expansive kids, and why "I'm still figuring it out" is a completely valid place to be.This episode originally aired in 2024 under our very first podcast name, Taking Up Space. It's one of our most popular for a reason, and we wanted it in the F*ck Confidence feed where it belongs.🤳🏼 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

061: Do it bad. Do it crying. Do it scared. Do it messy.
Most of us are stuck in a cycle we don't even realize we're in. There's a little whisper -- that "what if things could be different" feeling. Then we explore it. We get excited. We maybe even figure out the next step. And then... we talk ourselves out of it. And we settle back into "this is fine."And then the whisper comes back. And we do it again.In this episode, we talk about why doubt isn't a stop sign, why being "really busy" can actually be one of the sneakiest ways to stay stuck, and what it looks like to build real proof (PROOF!) that you're capable of change. The thing is, it's not always gonna be cute. Sometimes we have to do it messy, do it scared, or do it imperfectly. The important thing is that we do it at all.I first talked about this concept in our F*ck Confidence workshop. The day after the workshop, I started getting texts: I'm stuck in the whisper stage and I already know I'm probably going to do the same thing I always do.This episode is for those people. Which is probably most of us.🤳🏼 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

061: The Honest Breakup Text Nobody Taught You How to Send
You keep ghosting people because you don't know what else to do. What if we stopped that??In this episode, we're getting into the stuff nobody teaches you about honest communication in dating -- including how to decline a second date without making someone feel like they failed an audition, and why "let's just be friends" is sometimes... not actually what either person wants.We also got into what it's like to date as a trans woman: the fetishization, the safety calculations, the exhausting math of when to disclose.And I introduced one of my favorite communication principles: Prepared For No. PFN, babyyyyy (introduced is maybe a strong word, I'm sure you've heard me say it a lot before). If you're not already using this in your relationships, your asks, your whole life: this episode might change that!BONUS: we're dabbling in the concept of a brand new call-in segment for your dating, polyam, and relationship questions. If you're into it: DM us on Instagram at @empowermentstudio__ (or our BRAND NEW podcast IG @fckconfidence) with a voice note. We're going to answer your Qs on air (and Rachael and I will almost certainly disagree, so you'll get two perspectives!) and let that guide us into some new fun conversations around connecting and relationship.Thanks for tuning in, y'all!🤳🏼 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

060: Why Being “Strong on Your Own” Is Keeping You Stuck -- with theatre artist Angela Marcum (my mom!)
If empowerment feels harder than it should, the problem might not be you; it might be isolation.We've got an incredibly special guest for this episode -- someone who deeply shaped the way I move through the world. I would like to heartily welcome theatre artist and community builder, Angela Marcum (she/her) -- who also happens to be my mom!In this episode, we talk about where my belief in beauty and community actually comes from, and how those values got built long before the Empowerment Studio ever existed.This is a conversation about being seen. About building spaces where people feel like they belong. About why doing it alone isn’t actually the goal.The way you build community changes everything -- and we were never meant to do this alone!The apple doesn't fall far from the tree on this one, folks. This is a fun episode to tune into if you want to see where it all began.To contact our guest (in case you want to collaborate with her!) -- https://angelamarcum.com/🤳🏼 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

058: You’re Allowed to Want Things (Desire Isn’t Selfish!)
This episode is a bit of a peek behind the curtain -- we’re right in the middle of running a series of North Star workshops in the Empowerment Experience as we are publishing this episode. It's been so fun!Inside the program, we’ve always set a North Star -- a vision for what you want your life to feel like and where you want to point your compass for the six months of the program. What I started noticing is how much is actually inside that process. “What do I want?” can open up a lottttt.So we're creating even more space for it.The North Star Workshop is now a 3-part experience to help you:get clear on where you are right nowbe radically honest about what you actually wantturn that into a clear direction you can move towardIt also brings in something I’m calling practice menus -- ways to take action whether you have five minutes and no energy, or a full afternoon with more capacity. We're aiming to make it feel really achievable to actually begin to make the changes you are craving in your life.This started as a nerdy, late-night idea and is now becoming a deeper layer of the program. I’m really curious to see what it opens up for people. So far it's been really powerful. Lots more to come, I can't wait to update you once we've completed the whole workshop series!🤳🏼 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

057: Showing Up Without Burning Out -- A Tarot-Inspired Reflection
This episode is being published in a moment where our government is actively contributing to violence and harm on a global scale.And while we recorded this a couple months ago… that’s also not new.This isn’t a one-time moment. It’s a pattern. It’s ongoing.Which means the question becomes: how do we stay present, resourced, and able to actually show up inside of it?So in this episode, Rachael and I pulled tarot for you.Which led us into a conversation about what it looks like to step out of constant urgency mode without disconnecting, how to let time and space do some of the work instead of muscling your way through everything, and why small moments of celebration and care aren’t a distraction but actually fuel (then it becomes up to us for how we decide to use that fuel - but if we're resourced, we can do a lot with that!).We also share a simple practice (we each name six things we’re celebrating) that ended up being way more grounding than expected -- let us know if you give it a try at home. (And DM me the things you're celebrating, if you want to!! I'd LOVE to see -- goodness knows we could all use a little moment to steep in the good these days.)🤳🏼 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

056: Stop Waiting to Like Your Body Before You Let Yourself Be Seen
In this episode, Rachael (she/her) and I (Kinzie, they/she, hey pals!) are diving into what it actually means to take up space in your body -- especially when it doesn’t look or feel the way you want it to.Christina, in our Empowerment Studio community, submitted a question that unfolded into this podcast. We talk about the difference between taking up space energetically versus physically, and how being in your body can feel like a completely different challenge than just showing up in a room. A lot of people are waiting to feel confident before they allow themselves to be seen, photographed, or celebrated -- which keeps you stuck. What if not that?? So we talk about how to start seeing yourself differently, how to build from neutrality instead of confidence, and how small moments of noticing can begin to shift your relationship with your body over time.Throughout the episode, we share our own experiences with shrinking, swinging between “too much” and “not enough,” and learning how to find a version of taking up space that actually feels aligned instead of performative.Taking up space isn’t about loving your body all the time. It’s about learning how to stay in it -- and letting that be enough to start.🤳🏼 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

055: A Nonbinary Participant’s Empowerment Experience: Identity, Community, and Self-Discovery
In this episode, my lovely cohost Rachael and I talk with Sarah Staat (yes, they're back!) about their journey with the Empowerment Studio -- from their first photoshoot to going all-in during the Empowerment Experience.Sarah grew up in a very religious environment where a lot of life decisions were already mapped out for them. Over time, especially after a divorce, they began the long process of figuring out who they actually were outside of that structure. They first found the Empowerment Studio through one of our selfie challenges, and over the years became a deeply involved part of the community.During the Empowerment Experience, Sarah used the space to explore identity more fully -- including trying out they/them pronouns and embracing the full range of their masculine and femme expression. By the time we photographed their big Empowerment Experience shoot, they were stepping into that range completely: everything from a suit, to a bikini, to a flannel-and-axe lumberjack moment in the woods.One of the things Sarah talks about beautifully is how the program gave them a place where they didn’t have to edit themself. Over the six months, that practice of simply being themself started to carry into the rest of their life too.We also talk about the community side of the Empowerment Experience -- the group photoshoot, the friendships that form, and the way people witness each other’s growth over time.Sarah describes the whole experience as an investment in themself, and as a way of capturing the moment of who they are now.PS This episode title is reductive for sure -- but I wanted all the cutie enby folks who might be podcast browsing to know that they've got a fun episode to tune in to. It's nice to know when something is extra perfect for you!🤳🏼 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
