NineDots: The DotCast
Episode 91: Chelsea Cannar on being pregnant and running a creative business through big life shifts.
In this episode, Rahul Khona and Chelsea Cannar dive into the whirlwind journey of navigating pregnancy while running your own creative business. From the emotional and physical shifts to the challenge of staying visible online and showing up authentically, we talk about the real-life balance of personal change and professional drive.
We unpack the role of ego as a creative, the excitement (and pressure) of entering and winning The Wedding Industry Awards (TWIA), and the joy of expanding into family sessions. You'll also hear tips on photographing kids at weddings and why making the move to film—can reignite your artistic spark.
A raw, honest conversation for anyone juggling business and life’s biggest transitions.
