67: Too Busy to Chase Your Photography D...

Nicole Hill - Horizon Found Photography Education
About this episode

Have you ever had one of those weeks where your to-do list just stares at you like, “Yeah… you’re never finishing me”?  Same. 

Between work, life, family, endless responsibilities, and trying to remember what sleep feels like (hiii mom life!), it can feel hard to even think about making time for your photography dreams, let alone actually work towards them.

Here’s the thing though, no matter how busy life feels, you can make space for your photography and your dreams.

You just need a way to carve out time, even when it feels like there’s none left.

And trust me, I know the feeling—wanting to do everything but somehow doing nothing—you blink and suddenly it’s 10 p.m. and you’re staring at your phone like, ‘Wait, where did the day go?’

That’s why, in this week’s podcast episode, we’re talking about exactly that—how to turn those overwhelming, anxious feelings into action. Spoiler Alert: It’s not about having more time, it’s about using the time you’ve got.

Here’s a little sneak peek of what we’re talking about:

  • How to stop feeling like a deer in headlights when you look at your to-do list and start actually moving forward
  • The magic of setting one big, bold goal that gets you excited—and then breaking it down into manageable steps
  • How to find your “golden hours” and use them to make serious progress (even if it’s just 15 minutes at a time!)

This isn’t about adding more to your plate—it’s about finding freedom in the small, intentional steps that get you closer to your dreams. And the best part? It’s not about perfection. It’s about showing up for yourself, consistently, even when life feels too busy.

You don’t have to wait for the “perfect moment” to chase your photography dreams.

The perfect moment is right now.

Every small step you take adds up to something bigger.

So if you’re ready to turn that busy, overwhelming feeling into something productive and meaningful, this episode is for you.
