[15.] I Tried to Pivot, It Didn't Work...So Now What? Artwork

THE SIX-FIGURE STANDARD PHOTOGRAPHY PODCAST | Business, Identity, Capacity, and Sustainable Growth for Women Photographers

Six figures changes a business. And nobody really talks about what breaks when you get there.

The Six-Figure Standard is for women photographers who are done chasing more clients and ready to build a business that can actually hold growth.

Hosted by Skye Edmonds, this podcast goes straight into the conversations most people skip. Pricing that finally makes sense. Capacity limits you didn’t know you had. The nervous system strain that shows up once money, visibility, and responsibility increase. And the identity shifts required so six figures doesn’t feel fragile or exhausting.

After two decades in the industry and working with over 10,000 photographers, Skye teaches why six figures is not the finish line. It’s the threshold. And why strategy alone isn’t enough once you cross it.

This is not a photography podcast.
It’s a business and leadership conversation for women who want income that feels stable, grounded, and sustainable.

Inside the podcast, you’ll hear about:
• Pricing and profit without self-betrayal
• Capacity, boundaries, and leadership at higher income levels
• Nervous system regulation for business growth
• Why “more” stops working and structure starts mattering
• The unseen shifts that turn six figures into something you can keep

If you’ve ever thought, I don’t need another strategy, I need something to change underneath this, you’re in the right place.

This is The Six-Figure Standard.

[15.] I Tried to Pivot, It Didn't Work...So Now What?

You launched a course, a workshop, or a digital product—something you knew could help people. But instead of a thriving education business, you got burnout, inconsistent sales, and a growing sense of frustration. Now you’re wondering… Was this a mistake?

Here’s the truth: Your pivot didn’t fail. It gave you valuable feedback. In this episode, I break down why most photographers struggle when stepping into education and the key mistakes that make teaching feel draining instead of profitable. We’ll cover:

✔ The real reason your pivot didn’t work (hint: it’s not because you’re bad at teaching)
✔ The biggest mistakes photographers make when building an education business
✔ How to create an offer that’s clear, sustainable, and actually sells
✔ Why boundaries are non-negotiable for a long-term, profitable business (and how I model this inside Pivot Academy)

If you’re ready to turn things around and build an education business that works for you—without constant launches, burnout, or students demanding 24/7 access—this episode is for you.
