Called to Both - Balancing Motherhood and Business for Photographers
Called To Both® is the podcast for ambitious photographers and creative small business owners wanting better clients & diversified revenue, while also building a life you love! Finally, a fresh perspective on business and marketing from a mom who works less than 20 hours per week!
On this podcast Joy Michelle talks about what it takes to pursue both Motherhood and entrepreneurship, balance these two worlds, and provide you with tools and lessons to help you thrive in both areas of life. While learning about business is so valuable—where is the business advice for women doing BOTH? At Called to Both, we truly don’t believe you have to choose between these two worlds tugging at your heart.

179: Building a Coaching Empire: The Tools I Depend On As An Educator
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if the right tools could help you scale your business without adding more chaos to your life? In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the exact digital and non-digital tools I use to run my coaching and education business—from course platforms and AI tools to productivity systems, banking, podcasting, and content creation.
After nearly 10 years of creating content online, I’ve refined the systems that actually save me time, simplify my workflow, and help me serve clients better. I’m sharing the platforms I personally use every day, the mistakes I made early on (yes, including trying to avoid paying for Zoom 😅), and the tools I recommend most often to photographers and creatives who want to step into coaching, mentorship, courses, or education.
In This Episode You’ll:
- Get my list of top tools that I recommend to my clients who are branching into education
- Learn to use the tools to save time and make your coaching business more effective
- Learn what it takes to bridge the gap between being a service provider and being an educator
