[16.] Booked-Out Burnout: When Success Feels Like a Trap 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.

[16.] Booked-Out Burnout: When Success Feels Like a Trap

March 17, 2025 • Skye Edmonds

Are you a photographer who’s fully booked but feeling completely burned out? In this episode of the Pivot Podcast, we’re diving into what I call Booked-Out Burnout—the hidden trap that keeps photographers stuck in a cycle of trading time for money, even at premium pricing. I’ll break down why more bookings and higher rates won’t solve the problem and share the mindset shift that allows photographers to scale into education, workshops, and online courses.

Plus, I’m sharing the story of a real Pivot to Profit student who found herself at a breaking point and decided to pivot her expertise into a six-figure scalable offer. If you're ready to stop filling your calendar and start building a profitable, sustainable business, this episode is for you.
