🌟 Chasing Light: Photography, Mindfulness, and the Journey to Self-Healing [Listen Now!] 🎧
Published 2 days ago • 3 min read
Welcome to Week 3 of April, during the season of Spirituality! 🌿
What is the simple act of becoming conscious of light, and how can it affect the way we capture the world around us?
This week on the podcast, I’m joined by Joe Van Wyk, a photographer and author, who shares how mindful photography can help us find inner peace and clarity through the lens of our camera.
Joe’s personal journey through anxiety and depression led him to discover the therapeutic benefits of mindful photography. His book, The Mindful Photography Field Guide: 15 Smartphone Photography Practices for Inner Peace, teaches us how to use photography as a mindfulness practice—helping us to slow down, embrace the present moment, and find peace in the midst of chaos.
“My mission is to help people find inner peace through mindful creativity in a world gone mad.” (on Joe’s vision for the future).
In this episode, we explore how Joe uses photography to tap into mindfulness and spiritual growth, and how small shifts in perspective can transform how we experience the world. From noticing the subtle beauty in everyday moments to using affirmations for guidance, Joe’s approach helps us see life with fresh eyes.

In preparation for my 2025 Amplify Authentically workshop series, on effectively utilizing AI tools like ChatGPT, I’m excited to offer you this free guide to help you create your authentic AI profile. This guide is designed to help you define your voice, tone, and presence before diving into AI-powered tools.
As women, we’re underrepresented in AI usage—data shows that men are using AI tools like ChatGPT more frequently than women. In fact, 59% of men use AI weekly compared to only 51% of women, with many feeling they need more training to fully embrace these tools.
But the truth is, AI is not just a "bro" thing! By understanding how to bring your authentic self into AI usage, you’ll be ahead of the curve, and together we can close this gap.
