Welcome back to the Midnight Maven Podcast!

In this episode, Jamie and Kristal have an honest conversation about finding yourself, embracing creativity, and why waiting for perfection is holding you back.

Kristal shares the exciting story of her artwork being featured in a children's book and the unexpected journey that led to national recognition. Together, they dive into overcoming criticism, finding confidence later in life, rediscovering your identity after raising kids, and learning to stop worrying about what everyone else thinks.

Jamie also opens up about her passion for empowering women through photography, helping clients see themselves in a whole new light, and why confidence is the greatest transformation of all.

🎙️ The Midnight Maven Podcast

Real conversations. Ridiculous tangents. Zero filters.

Hosted by Jamie Goode and Kristal Baith, The Midnight Maven Podcast is where sarcasm meets real life. From menopause meltdowns and midlife reinventions to entrepreneurship, relationships, mental health, photography, embarrassing stories, and the occasional completely unhinged rabbit hole... nothing is off limits.

Some episodes will make you laugh until you cry.

Some might actually make you cry.

Most will somehow do both.

If you've ever looked at your best friend and thought, "We probably shouldn't say this out loud..." ...welcome home.
