Ep. 62 - The Power of Being Resourceful, Embracing Opportunity and Change & Creating Joy and Energy in an Intense Career with Christine Skari

This week I'm chatting with a friend, Christine Skari who I've been connected with for years through the food blogging community. I've loved watching Christine's path unfold as she has created an incredible wedding photography business.

I especially wanted to talk to Christine because I knew she would have some amazing insights into creative work and being resourceful as well as being open to your path changing. I love where this conversation went!

About Christine:

Christine is a self-made food blogger and wedding photographer who enjoys cuddling her two sweet kittens, drinking coffee like it's going out of style, and staying in pajamas for as long as possible.

We Talk About:

  • How Christine discovered photography and taught herself in college
  • What it was like to go into a career that had nothing to do with your degree
  • Transitions - how she adapted from college to working for herself full-time
  • Why talent doesn’t just happen overnight
  • the importance of just starting and the power of momentum
  • Being resourceful and teaching yourself new skills
  • Fighting overwhelm in busy seasons of life
  • Handling a busy schedule with joy
  • What it’s like to be a young woman owning a business
  • Fighting imposter syndrome
  • The importance of attracting and repelling with your energy
  • Owning your worth
  • The balance of when to accept free work versus charging
  • The power of photography to change your mindset

  • How they work in our bodies
  • The most beneficial uses for oils
  • Different common ailments and the best oils for them
  • How do different smells impact our mood
  • Common misconceptions about essential oils?

If you can believe it, [I barely can] we are at episode 60 of the Chasing Joy Podcast. What the what?! I guess time flies when you're podcasting! Every 10 episodes I reach out to you, my amazing audience for questions and I do a Q&A style episode. These shows are so fun because I get to hear what you're interested in.

Lately I've been recruiting people near and dear to me to help me record these because it's just more fun that way. My sister has hosted, Chris has hosted (twice) and now my mom is joining in on the fun! She totally killed it. We dive into a bunch of fun, food, body image, relationship, wedding and business questions.

If you missed asking your question, no fear because I'm always available to answer questions on the Joy Squad, the private Facebook group!

Questions I Answer (with my mom)

  • Also dogs or cats? And if you could adopt your dream fur baby what would they look like?
  • Curious about matcha benefits vs coffee?
  • What book are you currently reading and loving?
  • Do you have any tips for restful sleep?
  • If you could travel anywhere in the world tomorrow, where would it be?
  • Favorite spot on Nantucket? In winter, spring, summer and fall?

  • You’ve talked about dealing with depression in the past - what do you do each day now to live joyously?

Intuitive eating and movement

  • What does intuitive movement look like for you at this stage in your life?
  • What did you find most helpful to develop positive body image and self-love in recovery?
