very creative entrepreneur faces that moment when everything feels off. The brand you once loved doesn’t fit anymore, your bookings have slowed, and the vision that once felt crystal clear starts to blur. You know deep down you’re meant for more, but the thought of starting over feels too risky, too uncertain, too big.

But here’s the truth. Starting over isn’t a setback, it’s a strategy. It’s the decision to stop forcing something that no longer fits and create something that finally aligns with who you are and where you’re going.

In this episode, we sat down with Tayler, a wedding photographer who decided to start fresh and build a business that truly reflected her vision and values. She opened up about the challenges of rebranding, the mindset shifts that made the biggest difference, and the role community played in helping her rebuild from the ground up.

The photographers and filmmakers who rise to the top are not the ones who never fall, but the ones who keep getting back up. They recognize when it’s time to pivot, refine, and realign. They understand that every new beginning is a chance to build something stronger, smarter, and more profitable.

And here’s the thing no one talks about enough: who you surround yourself with determines how far you will go. The people you let into your circle shape your energy, your mindset, and your momentum. When you surround yourself with people who dream big, push for excellence, and believe in abundance, you start to operate at that level too. That kind of energy is contagious, and it’s often the missing piece between staying stuck and reaching your next breakthrough.

Starting over doesn’t mean you failed. It means you’ve grown. It means you’ve learned enough to know what’s not working and what no longer serves you. It’s about giving yourself permission to rebuild a business that reflects your current skill, style, and standards.

Whether you’re rebranding, refining your client experience, or redefining your place in the market, this conversation is your reminder that growth doesn’t always look glamorous. Sometimes it looks like beginning again.

If you’ve been craving a reset and you’re ready to surround yourself with a community of creatives who will challenge, support, and inspire you to grow into your next chapter, now is the time.
