If you've ever said “I’m just not good with money,” this episode is about to flip that script HARD. 🙅‍♀️💰

In today’s RAW Edit episode, we’re diving deep into the heart of your biz finances — not your numbers, but your money personality. And for that, we called in a pro: Kelly Marshall, conscious money coach + founder of TerraCare Financial, and our go-to money BFF.

Kelly introduces us to the Sacred Money Archetypes — a juicy, transformational framework that helps creative entrepreneurs finally understand why they do what they do with money. Hint: you’re not sabotaging your income on purpose. Your subconscious archetype is driving the bus — and it’s time you took the wheel.

Whether you’re an Accumulator who saves obsessively, a Maverick who thrives on risk, or a Romantic who believes every Target run is self-care (guilty ✋), you’ll walk away from this ep feeling SEEN.

We talk about:

• The 8 Sacred Money Archetypes and how to find yours
• Why Profit First might not be right for you (yet!)
• How your money story gets shaped by family, trauma, and old patterns
• Ways to ditch shame and judgment around debt, spending, or saving
• How to align your business strategy with your actual values

Kelly doesn’t just do the numbers — she does the deep work with money. And this convo? It’s the kind of unfiltered, mindset-shifting real talk you didn’t know you needed (but you 1000% do).

In Episode 17 of the RAW Edit Podcast, we’re taking you behind the scenes of our Working Girls Photographers Weekend in Palm Springs. It was four days of cameras, content, and chaos—with some SEO, chatbot building, and poolside edits thrown in for good measure.

Our crew (Colie James, Nikki Caviness, Natasha Sewell, Kellie, and Sarah!) holed up in Natasha’s gorgeous desert home to reset our businesses and reconnect with our why.

Spoiler: it was deeply needed.

Here’s what we did:

• Worked on SEO, websites, galleries, and automations
• Shared biz advice, struggles, and those “wait, I’m not alone?” moments
• Ate at some amazing restaurants
• Wrapped it all up with a game of “Would You Rather: Photographer Edition”

This episode is the audio equivalent of a group hug and a pep talk. If you’ve been feeling stuck, burnt out, or just craving connection with people who get this crazy biz—we made this for you.

Whether you're deep in your season hustle or dreaming up your next volume sports system, this episode is a reminder: your creative breakthrough might be one work weekend away.

In this special episode of RAW Edit, we’re pulling back the curtain on something a little different — our friendship. Yep, just two business besties chatting about the real stuff behind the lens: how we met, how we support each other, and why community is everything when you’re running a creative business.

We’re talking about the late-night Voxer rants, the Zoom working sessions, the cheering each other on (and keeping it real when needed), and the way our businesses — and lives — have grown since finding our person in this industry.

This episode is less strategy, more soul — and if you’ve ever felt alone as a photographer or business owner, this one’s for you. 💛

🎧 In this episode, we chat about:

• How we actually met and why it wasn’t as random as it sounds
• What it’s like having someone who just gets it in your corner
• The importance of honest conversations and mutual support in business
• Why connection > competition — always
• How to find your people and build your own community

📌 Why this episode matters:

Photography can feel isolating — especially when you're the one making every decision. But finding even one person who understands the hustle, the heart, and the humor behind this business can change everything. We’re living proof of that.
