Summary

In Episode 16 of Never Stop Dreaming BIGGIE, I'm tackling the biggest struggle facing multi-passionate women entrepreneurs—feeling scattered and overwhelmed by traditional productivity advice that just doesn't work for creative minds like ours. If you're tired of having 27 browser tabs open, waking up with 15 business ideas before 9 AM, and feeling like you're the only one who can't "just focus on one thing," this episode is your validation and solution.

I'm sharing the organization secrets that helped me manage 20,000+ person festivals while running multiple businesses, revealing why energy-based planning beats time management and how to create systems that work WITH your multi-passionate brain, not against it. Plus, I'm joined by the incredible Jen El-Haddad from Jennifer Mary Photography, who shares her inspiring journey from corporate layoffs to building a thriving branding and wedding photography business in Charleston.

Jen opens up about her "come-to-Jesus moment" at a church conference that changed everything, her approach to authentic community building through events like Stretch and Mingle, and why professional photography should be your second business investment. This is the "G" in BIGGIE—Grow—through challenges by creating systems that honor how your brain works and building community that supports your biggest dreams.
