| Ep. 32 | The Proven Business Strategy that Hasn't Changed in 15 years | 11 Jan 2024 | 00:34:53 | |
The business world (and just the world in general) looks A LOT different today than it did 15 years ago when I started my business. But as my business has changed and evolved over the years one thing has stayed the same: the power of a personal brand. I've noticed that many of our student's struggle with applying this concept to their own businesses for a number of reasons: so in this episode I'm sharing WHY personal branding is still important and debunking some beliefs that many make up as to why it can't work for them.

| Ep. 28 | AI vs Private Editors - My Honest Thoughts | 14 Sep 2023 | 00:43:56 | |
This episode was not on the schedule. It wasn't even on my radar. However, over the weekend I tried having AI edit one of my sessions and it was mind blowing... so I shared about it. I was proud of myself for trying something new and pushing myself to figure it out. What I didn't realize was that it was going to start a firestorm in the private editing community. When I first started outsourcing, I became a strong advocate for the private editor. I tried the mega editing companies and they always fell short. I even went so far as to make a small mini-course with my own editor to help photographers learn more about private editing and how to become one! So, when I shared that a robot edited my session, the fear and anxiety that all editors have been pushing down and trying to not think about was brought to the surface. I understand their fear, their anxiety and their frustration that I shared what I did. However, after many conversations with private editors and leaders in that space, I was encouraged that there are others that think the way I do. What if this wasn't the worst thing ever? What if this was more of an opportunity than it is a problem? I know it's not what anyone wants and the fear is valid but my hope is that this podcast will allow ALL of us to see the possibility in the parts of life that we wouldn't choose!

| Ep. 20 | Re-Defining Mentorship in Business & Life | 18 May 2023 | 00:33:43 | |
Talking through my predetermined expectations about mentorship has allowed me to experience freedom by unraveling, unmasking and redefining certain parts of my life that I have never considered before. I have been in the process of redefining what my capabilities and my capacities as a mentor really are and not letting my past definition of mentorship define what my capability is. I hope you’ll join me in thinking through what parts of your life are longing to be redefined to experience more freedom!!! Mentioned in this episode: Get The KJ Brand Coach GPT!

| Ep. 19 | Reflecting on the Life of Baby James - 5 Years Later | 03 May 2023 | 00:36:37 | |
Five years ago we were walking through the end of the hardest journey we had ever been on. On May 1st, 2019 we said hello and goodbye to our precious second child. Baby James was diagnosed with severe complications from Down Syndrome at his 20 week ultrasound and we were given the privilege of loving a baby we wouldn't get to keep. For three months we celebrated the life we had with him inside of me. We loved him while we had him and that love continues even now, five years later. My hope is that this episode will bring some hope and light to the lives of those walking through loss and heartache. | |||

I couldn't be more excited about this episode. Shay is a dear friend, fellow business owner, believer, photographer, wife, mom and visionary.

This episode is most definitely a TEASER episode! KJ All Access 2.0 has not yet been released but it's coming and it's well worth the wait!! In this episode, I'm honestly sharing the backstory of my heart behind the changes that our students will be seeing very soon! The reason I'm sharing all of this is because my experience isn't unique. This is a common occurrence for business owners but I think many overlook the signs and red flags that I mention in this episode and that leads them to being "stuck"!! My hope is that this story will shed some light on the journey it has been to get me to a point where I was totally honest about what I needed to do with this part of my business! Enjoy!

| Ep. 16 | Miles' Birth Story: The Homebirth I Always Dreamed Of | 22 Mar 2023 | 01:28:34 | |
Wow. Prepare yourself for a very long and dare I say overly passionate episode about not just my latest birth experience but ALL of my birth experiences. I think my passion about this topic stems from not just the passion I have for my children but for the way God used my children and their births to transform me into a new version of myself. If someone was to say "Katelyn, what is your greatest accomplishment in your life?" my answer would be my children. From my pregnancies to their births and the journey we're on raising them... being a parent is the greatest calling of my life. Learning to stand up for myself and trust who I was as a mom started before my first baby was even born and I'm grateful for the challenges that ultimately led me through the last 5 years and to my final birth this past month. Listen to hear my birth story and how my challenges pushed me to find the most beautiful birth experience I never imagined myself ever desiring! | |||
| Ep. 15 | The Realities of Scaling an Online Business | 09 Feb 2023 | 00:51:23 | |
Recently a CNBC article was written about me and my business. While I am honored and excited that the article was able to share more about the success we've found over the years, the article doesn't paint the full picture of what it takes to scale a business of this size. In this episode I chat through my thoughts on the realities of scaling a business from my perspective and how scaling can look different for everyone.

| Ep. 3 | Sitting In It : The Power of Pain that Stays | 04 May 2020 | 00:43:02 | |
This episode talks about tension between wanting to get out of something that is HARD as fast as possible and staying in it long enough to find purpose and healing. God doesn’t waste hard seasons but we can miss whole chapters of our story by trying to avoid the hard parts and numb ourselves from the pain. I’m sharing how I have experienced the power of staying in the pain instead of running from it. Life change happens when we’re uncomfortable. Many will avoid discomfort their entire lives and sacrifice AMAZING growth because of it. My hope is that this episode will empower people to start looking at their own lives and their own hard seasons (big and small) and start discovering what good thing could be waiting for them in the mess!

| Ep. 39 | Our Son's Health Journey (Part 3) | 27 Jun 2024 | 00:28:33 | |
As I continue to share more about the path we've been on, there have been a lot of questions! I wanted to answer some of those questions and try to tie a bow on this long story that can hardly fit into 3 podcast episodes. If you're in the middle of a health journey, or advocating for your kids, I hope this episode encourages you! Check out our 3 FREE webinars! These free classes would be a great starting point for you and to help gauge whether or not you are ready for our courses!

| Ep. 38 | Behind the Scenes of Our CAPSTONE Course (Coming soon!) | 29 May 2024 | 00:27:32 | |
This has been a LONG time coming.. I mean YEARS. It is the icing on the cake of our course collection and I cannot wait! This is the fun technical course that I have loved creating. We'll have two LIVE free classes in two weeks, and you'll want to be on the waitlist for the Composition Course to hear about that first! | |||
| Ep. 37 | Where is God in Grief - 6 Years after a Stillbirth | 01 May 2024 | 00:51:14 | |
This episode isn't light hearted or easy to listen to. I would go so far as to say, it's a bit painful to listen to but it's also powerful. If you struggle to make sense of how pain can be so present in the world where there is also a good God who loves us, this episode is worth listening to. We lost a child 6 years ago to complications from Down Syndrome. His story has changed thousands of lives and transformed us as parents and believers. This is my disclaimer: If you're looking for a photography how-to podcast, this isn't it. There are other episodes on those business topics! However, if you're looking to understand more about living in purpose and meaning in the midst of pain, I would dive in! | |||
| Ep. 36 | My Child's Health Journey Part 2- Changes | 04 Apr 2024 | 00:51:59 | |
The other week I shared a very vulnerable podcast about the latest health journey we are on as a family, specifically for our son! If you would like to listen to part one, you can do so HERE! I was blown away by the response and I am so thankful for all of you who shared resources, reached out, and asked questions. The amount of mommas out there who are also searching for answers is shocking. It’s equal parts encouraging to not be alone and also startling that so many people are at a loss for answers and real solutions. From makeup to dishwasher detergent to saying goodbye to standard sippy cups and food dyes…. I try to hit on everything but there is honestly a lot to remember. I JUST realized I didn’t even mention in the episode that we only use Cast Iron and Stainless Steel cookware now! Like I said, it’s a lot to keep straight and I probably forgot other changes I should have mentioned but this is a JOURNEY and I’m willing to keep sharing as we keep growing through it if you all are up for it! **When we find a product or company we love, we love to share it with you!

| The Weekly Dwell: Let Someone Else Fight For You | 17 Nov 2025 | 00:11:45 | |
This week, I’m sharing a reminder that’s been close to my heart: we were never meant to fight alone. After a hard night of tears with Michael, I realized how deeply we need to let others in. To ask for prayer, for help, and for community when life feels too heavy. If you’ve been walking through something quietly, this is your invitation to reach out. Let someone step into the fight with you. Scripture I’m dwelling on: “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” — Galatians 6:2 RESOURCES Listen to more episodes- https://katelynjames.com/podcast Follow Katelyn on Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/katelynjames Get a Bible for $4 on Amazon- https://amzn.to/4nOhhKW | |||
| Why Some Wedding Photographers Last And Others Don’t | 13 Nov 2025 | 00:36:02 | |
This one is a wake-up call! I’m sharing the five patterns that quietly end wedding photography brands… and how to turn them around. I’ve coached photographers for 17 years. Within minutes, I can usually tell if a business will make it or burn out. Today I walk through the five red flags I see most often. Use them as a mirror, not a verdict. You’ll hear simple markers for each red flag. You’ll also get practical ways to shift into proactive systems, personal storytelling, and scalable workflows. If this stings a little, take heart!

| The Weekly Dwell: Living at Home with Jesus | 13 Oct 2025 | 00:07:13 | |
This week, I’m asking one question: Where does your soul live? Are you dwelling daily with Jesus, or only stopping by when life gets hard? In this Weekly Dwell, I share a story and a simple analogy that reminded me what it really means to live in abundance... not just in the desperate seasons, but in the everyday moments too.

| Why We Watch The Chosen With Our 8 Year Old | 09 Oct 2025 | 00:23:38 | |
If you’ve ever felt the weight of discipleship as a parent, wondering if you’re doing enough, if your kids are really “getting it,” or if you’re falling short...this episode is for you. I share the story of how my sister and I stumbled into a simple Friday night rhythm that has completely changed how our kids (and honestly, us too!) see Jesus: popcorn, staying up late, and watching The Chosen with our 8-year-olds. If you’ve been carrying the pressure of leading your kids perfectly in faith, I hope this episode reminds you: it doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes the most powerful discipleship happens in the simplest family rhythms. Resources I mention:

| The Weekly Dwell: The Gift of Trying Again | 06 Oct 2025 | 00:10:14 | |
This is the very first The Weekly Dwell, a short Monday episode designed to help us slow down, breathe, and remember what’s true. Today’s story starts with something small (a few grocery bags from Wegman’s) but turns into something so much deeper... a reminder that grace isn’t just a distant, eternal promise. It’s for right now. For the messy mornings. For the defensive tones. For the moments you wish you could do over. This week, I’m sharing how one small argument in our home became a beautiful reminder that we always get to go again. Because grace is not an endgame gift. It’s a present reality! So if you’re walking into Monday already feeling behind or frustrated, take this as your permission to begin again! You get to go again. And that is the gift of grace.
