THIS WAY TO YOUR NEXT LEVEL
 

So, darling photographer-

have you had enough yet?

 

  • LIVING IN THE SAME YEAR ON LOOP
    You keep telling yourself this will be the year you finally change things.
    Then it’s June. Or September. Or December

  • LETTING EMOTIONS RUN WORK AND MONEY
    You impulse spend, avoid looking at your bank account, delay financial decisions based on how things feel in the moment.

  • ALWAYS FEELING BEHIND 
    Just a constant low-grade sense that you’re late to your own life and unsure how to reset without burning everything down.

  • STUCK INSIDE YOUR OWN HEAD
    Chronic over-thinker yet somehow all that hasn’t translated into consistent forward movement. 

  • SELF-TRUST HANGING BY A THREAD 
    Not because you’re incapable but because you keep starting and stopping. 

  • WAITING FOR LIFE TO HAND YOU CONTROL
    You assume you’ll lead once life feels manageable and there's less friction but that never happens

 

THIS WAY TO YOUR NEXT LEVEL
the cost of the new self is the old self • the cost of the new self is the old self • the cost of the new self is the old self • the cost of the new self is the old self • the cost of the new self is the old self • the cost of the new self is the old self • the cost of the new self is the old self • the cost of the new self is the old self • the cost of the new self is the old self • the cost of the new self is the old self •

 WHERE THE SHIFT COMES IN

  • WE GET YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER
    We clear physical clutter, behavioral mess, and avoidance patterns. 

  • BUSINESS CLARITY  DOWNLOADED
    Big goals become projects with timelines, and a clear plan for the next three quarters of your photo business
  • YOU BECOME YOUR OWN DOM
    You stop letting moods and impulses run your photography business and practice decisive self-leadership: choose, commit, hold the line.

  • FEELINGS STOP RUNNING MONEY AND WORK
    You separate feelings from execution by building daily money visibility and neutral contact with reality. No spiraling, no avoidance.

  • SELF-TRUST IS REBUILT THROUGH RHYTHM
    Instead of hype or motivation, you train self-trust by showing up every day inside tight, simple containers

  • DISCIPLINE BECOMES SACRED
    Daily, weekly, and seasonal rhythms turn discipline into protection—not punishment—making consistency feel natural instead of forced.

How we do it in

THE SHIFT:

40 days. 20 minutes a day. Advent calendar style (your dopamine center will love it).

 

  • 40 days. Long enough to break old patterns and build new ones without blowing up your life.

  • 5 minute video lessons every day. Short video lessons 

  • One exercise daily. To force contact with the things you usually skip, rationalize, or postpone and replace with deliberate action.
  • Regulation Practice Throughout. Time Management. Meditation. (I know but you can do it for 40 days). Nervous System Reset
  • Weekly Live Class Checkpoint. A weekly 1 hour class for accountability 

  • Daily unlocks. No bingeing or getting ahead- you don't move on onto the current step is fully complete
  • Self-leadership by repetition. You show up, you follow through, you prove to yourself you’re the mf'n boss of your own life

 

Commit to The Shift

It sits at the intersection of neuroplasticity, habit formation, and nervous system conditioning.

  • The brain changes through repetition + consistency, not intensity.

  • New neural pathways strengthen when the same action is repeated daily with low friction.

  • Research on habit formation shows meaningful behavioral change begins around 30–45 days, especially when the action is simple and emotionally neutral.

  • Short daily actions reduce amygdala resistance (threat response), which is why people don’t quit when the task feels manageable.

  • Repeated follow-through builds self-efficacy- the brain’s belief that “I do what I say,” which directly increases self-control and decision-making capacity.

ABOUT YOUR TEACHER (AND THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT)

I'm Laurken (lar-kin), internationally published wedding photographer, industry teacher for 9 years, homeschool (unschooling) mother, farmer, writer and so many other things. 

 

My methodology is simple, loving AND unforgiving: stop outsourcing control to your feelings, your past, your identity or your excuses, and start practicing self-leadership through daily action that actually gets you where you've been wanting to go.

I believe grown people can hear hard truths, sit with discomfort and learn to consistently follow through if they can grasp a few key concepts and practices.

Everything you want is buried inside the exact work you've been most avoiding because it’s inconvenient, hard or boring. 

Business forces us to confront ourselves like few other things and that's why I believe its one of the highest spiritual undertakings.

This isn’t mindset coaching, manifestation, or motivational theater- its behavioral training for people who are done whining about where they are and ready to become someone who can hold what they say they want. 

I've been there (and even burned my business down to prove it). Let me show you the way out.

NOTE: If you’re looking to continue to victimize yourself, this isn’t for you; if you’re ready to stop believing the lies you tell yourself and start leading your own life, let's get to it.
