Table for One: The Hidden Loneliness When It Feels Like Your Clients Become Your Only Social Life
Description
“Clients aren’t a social life.”
As photographers and creatives, we give so much of ourselves to our clients, creating joy and memories for their families. But if we’re not careful, our clients can become our only source of adult connection and the loneliness that creeps in is real.
In this episode, I’m sharing my honest reflections on hidden loneliness, why client interactions can’t replace real friendship, and how to start making space for joy and connection outside of business and family roles.
