From Burnout to Balance: How Anika Saved 300 Hours + Fell Back in Love With Her Business I Ep 184
Update: 2025-10-23
Description
What if you could take 300 hours of editing, culling, and admin off your plate — and fall back in love with your photography business in the process?
In this episode, I chat with OME student Anika about how she reclaimed her time, creativity, and peace of mind — after nearly giving up on weddings for good.
We dive into:
- How she went from “burnt to a crisp” to booked and balanced
- The exact tasks she outsourced (and what she still does herself)
- Why hiring a specialized editor changed everything
- What happened when she had to fire her VA mid-season
- How outsourcing let her enjoy fall again, spend time with family, and actually rest
This is the final student story in the series — and it’s the perfect dose of motivation for any photographer who feels overworked right now.
🎧 Listen now and imagine what 300 hours back could look like for you.
