“If you have a small seed of desire, that’s all it takes”.
In this episode of Corporate to Calm we speak with Ariana Youmans Keenahan from Well Fed Photography. Ariana chats about her passion for photography and building memories and how this ties in with her life as a Mum, breastfeeding advocate & podcaster.
Ariana took her leap from Corporate to Calm when she founded her business Well Fed Photography which is continually evolving into the photographic experience Ariana desires for her clients. Her vision is to capture precious family moments through the years, generation. One of the biggest aims of Well Fed is to normalise breastfeeding, creating unforgettable, beautiful images of the most intimate moments between Mother and Child.
Well Fed Photography was a side hustle that became a career. Another amazing business born from having children and an employer that just didn’t get it. Ariana chats about how the lockdown was an extremely positive experience and how once you walk yourself through the fog it’s amazing what becomes apparent on the other side.
She discusses outsourcing and how this started in the home first and has thus spilled into the business.
Ariana is a pioneer for self-love. She affirms the love of her body every day and we discuss experiences of masseuse reluctant to touch her to tummy to a colleague telling her she wasn’t woman enough for him.
Ariana’s breastfeeding sessions are beautiful and between writing a book and transforming how consumers view photography it’s no wonder that she is a huge advocate for me time. She knows filling her cup will spill over in a hugely positive way for her family and the business.
Ariana’s self-care routine is so special, and we can all take a lesson from her.
“If I don’t take care of myself, physically, nutritionally….it doesn’t matter what I’m reading because I’m not going have the energy to pour into changing”
Ariana is a woman supporting and lifting other women and her 10k in 10 days is further proof of this.
“Own How Amazing You Are!”.
I had such a beautiful experience recording Ariana’s journey from Corporate to Calm and have loved listening to it.
