Summary
Today's guest is the incredible Vanessa Hicks, a destination wedding and portrait photographer based out of San Diego, California. She is a military spouse and Navy Veteran as well! She truly believes in empowering others, and the importance of documenting her client's legacy! She has been published worldwide, and has been voted Hawaii's #1 Wedding Photographer back to back in 2018 and 2019! When she doesn't have a camera in her hand, you can find her with a Starbucks cup in her hand at Disneyland, watching Harry Potter or The Office on reruns, or just lounging on the beach with an umbrella drink in hand!
Vanessa used to live in Hawaii' and I know her personally. She is incredible. We couldn't wait to have her on the show to talk about a topic she speaks and teaches on all the time - mental health. Today's episode is a vulnerable, honest, sit down girl chat between Vanessa, Evie, and myself. Vanessa doesn't hold anything back as we discuss the realities of mental health, entrepreneurship addiction, the stigma around loving work, and loving "the hustle," how to navigate covid's effect on our mental health, and SOOOO much more. She nearly brought me to tears multiple times, and I KNOW without a shadow of a doubt how impactful her words will be on you today. If you are feeling blah…. Feeling anxious, depressed, alone, and need some sunshine and TRUTH in your life today. Look no further. Vanessa is the friend that's gonna give you the most inspiring pep talk today. LEZZZ GO.
