Have you ever booked a client then immediately felt that little knot in your stomach…

In this week’s Joycast, I’m revealing the 3 types of red-flag clients that can drain your energy, steal your joy, and make you question why you started your photography business in the first place.

You’ll learn:

🚩The one thing chronic client complainers say
🚩 Why “rock throwers” are the sneakiest energy vampires (and how to sidestep them.)
🚩How to avoid getting caught up in drama (and keep your business FUN!)

You don’t have to say yes to everyone. You deserve to work with clients who light you up and value what you do. So if you’ve ever second-guessed a booking, this episode is your permission slip to trust your gut!

Grab your favorite drink, get comfy, and let’s talk about how to protect your happiness while growing your photography business.
