075: Fat and Trans Experiences in Healthcare (and why BMI is bullshit)
CW: This episode includes weight and weight loss talk, which we usually keep out of this space, but this is an important story to tell. Libby is back for another episode and we're diving all in on the full story of her recent hip replacement and all it took to make it happen (including years of pain, being dismissed, and being told to lose weight before anyone would even consider surgery). This is the first time Libby has shared most of this story out loud, and I'm really grateful for the nuanced and tender conversation we got to have together.Rachael shares her own experiences navigating the medical system as a trans person, and the barriers that kept standing between her and the care she needed.We talk about weight stigma, BMI, educating your doctors, and what it’s like to jump through the hoops while knowing the hoops shouldn’t exist.🤳🏼 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

074: Let's Get Rachael Ready for Headshots
I had the honor and privilege of updating Rachael's headshots for her recently -- and this is our conversation a few days before the session to help her get ready. We talked about vibes and any prep she needed to do, and how to think about what outfits to bring (maybe this part will surprise you?). This is a great episode to listen to if you're getting ready for any photoshoot, or if you're just curious about the nuts and bolts of what goes into getting ready for a session. PS Let me know if you want to update YOUR headshots! It's quick and fun! xo🤳🏼 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

073: Birthday Wishes, Festival Shenanigans, and Whatever the Algorithm Is Doing
It’s my birthday week, and if you want to give me a gift I'll cherish, share your favorite episode of the F*ck Confidence podcast with a friend! Nothing says happy birthday quite like helping more people find our little corner of the internet.In this episode, I talk about turning 39, why I’m feeling so grateful for my 30s, and how I plan to kick off another trip around the sun: dancing under the trees at one of my favorite music festivals, surrounded by art, costumes, and some of my favorite people.I also shared a bunch of ways you can support The Empowerment Studio without spending a dime, because running a small business in 2026 is a whole thing. Mostly, this is a little birthday love letter to the people who make this community what it is.

072: A Safe Place to Try On Your Authentic Self Online
Rachael and I talk about what happens when the Empowerment Team steps back and lets the community take the lead. We get into the best of what’s been happening in our Facebook group lately: selfies, a boundaries thread with really tangible tips, creative show-and-tell, and some very important debates about watermelon and salt. This is an inside peek at our group, and a conversation around how we're allowing it to evolve.Come hang out at empowermentphotographer.com/community🤳🏼 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

071: Audy Avery is Horny about Life
Audy Avery (they/them) and I (Kinzie) are back to yap about the challenge that comes when there's a mismatch between our desire to do things, and our actual capacity to do them. Because we want to do everything, all at once -- but so much of the time, our brains and bodies are like "lol no." (BUMMER!)So what do you do then? This episode is all about us exploring how to build nourishing and satisfying lives within the constraints and limitations of capitalism and solo parenting and neurodivergence and and and.We hope you enjoy!Find Audy on Substack at https://substack.com/@audyavery🤳🏼 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

070: Disability and Boudoir
Rachael and I got to talk about something that's really important to me: what "radically inclusive" actually looks like in the Empowerment Studio. Lately I've been photographing more clients with disabilities than ever, and it's been proof that boudoir really can be for everyone, as long as you're willing to ask what people need and adapt.We get into the practical stuff (seating, sizing, ramps, modifying poses, sensory-friendly sessions) and the bigger idea that every single person has needs -- but the Empowerment Studio is often the first place someone gets to practice asking for them.I also read part of a client's story, shared with her blessing, about what it meant to be photographed with a body that doesn't move the way it used to. Plus a few detours into accents, ASL, and why I once journaled entirely in the International Phonetic Alphabet for several months.If you're disabled and weren't sure a session was for you, this one's an invitation. I'd be honored to photograph 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

069: LIBBY IS FINALLY ON THE PODCAST
This week Kinzie and Rachael are joined by the one and only Libby — Empowerment Studio's lead marketing strategist, eight-year team member, beloved client, and (per Kinzie) certified "magic human." Libby's been part of the crew since 2018 and finally landed in the studio chair as a guest instead of the one running the show.The trio traces "fuck confidence" back to its origin story: a January team retreat where Libby, mid-presentation, called out the thing we hear over and over again: "I'd do a boudoir session if I were more confident." And then, exasperatedly, Libby hollered: FUCK CONFIDENCE!!!! You don't wait to feel ready. You do the thing, and confidence shows up after.But you know how it goes -- we didn't just stick to that one topic. Here's just a taste of what we covered in this conversation:The Giggle Butt Chant — Kinzie's signature pose accidentally became a full-room call-and-response at the Empowerment Party, and everyone stopped at the exact same time like it was choreographed. Nobody choreographed it.Getting photographed together — Kinzie, Rachael, and Libby all in front of the same lens for a team shoot, and it turns out being photographed is a different kind of tired than photographing. Who knew.The Body Scan — that lightning-fast, brutal inventory we all do the second we see a photo of ourselves. Fourteen years behind the camera and Kinzie still isn't immune. Libby offers a reframe worth sitting with: your first thought about a photo isn't the real you — it's instinct. It's the second thought, the one you have to work for, that actually tells the truth.The bigger picture — how the same energy we burn hating ourselves is energy we're not spending on the stuff that actually needs fixing. Fuck the systems, love the people.I hope you love this episode -- what a JOY it was to have Libby on the mic with 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

068: Who are you today, Kinzie?
Wayyyyy back in episode 65 (two episodes ago, hehe), Audy Avery and I talked about how we use the question "Who are you today?" as a starting point for our catch ups. It's really beautiful because it gives us space to share what's going on in our lives, but also to do a little check in -- where we get to notice what is shifting, and what has changed. And now it's my turn to share with y'all about what's been coming up for me lately. If you're nosy, curious, or just like to listen to a good yap, this will hopefully be a lovely episode for you to tune in to. We recorded this episode a while back, now, so I'm also going to be giving it a listen when the episode drops. I have a feeling past-me said something that now-me needs to hear -- and maybe that will be true for you too. I am learning to trust our timing implicitly. 🤳🏼 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
