This week’s episode is a soulful one, friends. I’m joined by the amazing Jessica McKnight — an award-winning luxury photographer in St Petersburg, FLA, for over 25 years, mindfulness coach, and founder of Brilliance Key.
She has a big heart for helping others to create their success using the power of their thoughts as well as a photographer with a ton of business wisdom.
Jessica and I have a beautiful conversation about how mindset and mindfulness aren’t just buzzwords — they’re powerful tools that shape how we show up in our photography businesses and our lives. Jessica shares how her own journey, from a tough childhood to building a thriving photography brand, has been guided by a commitment to inner clarity, intention, and self-love.
Together, we explore:
- How to shift your attitude to support your dreams
- What mindfulness looks like in real life (hint: it's about presence, not perfection)
- Her 8 simple practices to start your day grounded and focused — including gratitude, visualization, and creating space for joy
- The power of community, creativity, and trusting in something bigger (yes, the Universe has your back!)
- And how chasing success without balance can leave us burnt out — and what to do instead
Jessica also gives us a peek into her Beyond Brilliant Photography Retreats that include daily yoga, mindset talks, and the kind of connection that fills your soul, plus a chance to apply for a free retreat seat on her website!
This episode is like a soft exhale and a spark of inspiration rolled into one. Whether you’re feeling stuck or just craving a deeper connection to your work and purpose, I know you will be glad you tuned in.
