The Rhea Whitney Podcast

Growing Emotional Resilience in your Business with Bryana Goode In this conversation, Rhea interviews Bryanna, a two-year Elevate coaching student and branding photographer, about her growth in business, mindset, and confidence. Bryanna shares how she transitioned from content creation to photography, built her skills, and shifted from a side hustle to a profitable business. Inside Elevate, she strengthened her pricing, created four-figure offers, improved her brand presence, and refined her client experience with upgraded packages, content deliverables, questionnaires, and a more seamless workflow. They also discuss the personal challenges Bryanna navigated in her late 20s—including friendship shifts and emotional stress—while still choosing to show up for her business. Rhea highlights Bryanna's resilience, growth, and commitment to becoming the next version of herself. Together, they reflect on the power of coaching, community, accountability, and confidence building, especially in a changing photography industry where mindset and support are just as critical as creative talent.   What You Will Learn How Bryanna turned a creative hobby into a profitable photography business The mindset shifts that helped her raise prices and develop four-figure offers Why community and coaching accelerated her growth and confidence How she refined her brand, client experience, and marketing strategy What it looks like to navigate personal challenges while still building a business Practical advice for new photographers about experimenting before niching   Standout Quotes (13:35) “Being more confident in my pricing… if a client doesn’t align with me, being OK with that.” (24:52) “You thrive in community, you grow in community, you heal in community.” (33:10) “It’s not just about trusting me—you have to learn to trust yourself to show up and do the work.” (21:15) “Entrepreneurship is challenging… if it were easy, everyone would be a business owner.”   Stay Connected  Learn more about me here: https://rheawhitney.com/ Follow me on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/RheaWhitney/ Connect with me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RheaWhitneyPhotography
