Capture What Matters

Capture What Matters helps moms rediscover themselves through photography, creativity, and self-care. Each episode features a fresh tip or technique for helping you capture what matters through your own camera. Plus, host Beryl Young, founder of Momtography, shares stories of women who have opted out of overwhelm, burnout, and the neverending to-do list through self-expression. We’re exploring motherhood in an entirely new way––through the lens of putting you and your creativity first!

#75 Developing Your Mindset: A Conversation with Brad Bizjack 07/25/2019

#75 Developing Your Mindset: A Conversation with Brad Bizjack On the Recapture Self podcast it’s our intention to give you a peek at the lives of people who are balancing daily life, parenthood, and a commitment to their creative selves. These are people who are making time and space for their passion projects whether that be writing a book, designing a blog, photographing their family, or running a business. PREPARE TO BE INSPIRED BY THEIR STORIES. This week I’m chatting with Brad Bizjack. Brad Bizjack lives in Royal Oak, Michigan with his wife, Janiece, and Oliver, their miniature cockapoo! They are college sweethearts and have been happily married since June 2017! Brad was a professional network marketer for 5 years helping people across the United States and Canada with their health and wellness. After 9 months of being business, he left his corporate role to pursue a home-business full time. But his business was failing. Brad was earning 1/4 of what he was making in the corporate world even though he was promoting a “life by design.” He felt like a fraud. So he tried to beat it. Brad spent thousands of hours reading books and tens of thousands of dollars attending seminars or taking courses just trying to piece together how to finally break through everything holding me back. It took 5 years, but finally, he figured it out. He created Appreciation Academy, which gives you the 5 years of growth he experienced in less than 1 month. Regardless if your goal is to quit your job and start your dream business, find the perfect 9-5 for you, or attract the love of your life, it doesn’t need to take you years to figure it out. Brad helps people break through all the obstacles getting in the way of an amazing life. He’ll show you how to get out of your own way and close the gap between where you are and where you really want to be. In other words, he helps you breakthrough everything holding you back from an incredible life on your terms.

#71 Owning Your Truth: A Conversation with Nick and Katherine North - Part 2 On the Recapture Self podcast it’s our intention to give you a peek at the lives of people who are balancing daily life, parenthood, and a commitment to their creative selves. These are people who are making time and space for their passion projects whether that be writing a book, designing a blog, photographing their family, or running a business. PREPARE TO BE INSPIRED BY THEIR STORIES. This week I’m chatting with Nick and Katherine North. Katherine was a cynic who didn't even believe in true love...until she accidentally fell in love at almost 40-years-old with her best friend, Nick. But when they fell in love, he wasn't "Nick"... he was "Nikki." And, Nikki was pregnant with baby #4! Assigned female at birth, Nick always knew deep down he was a man trapped in a woman's body. A stay-at-home pregnant mom and family photographer who didn’t think life could ever be any different, he was stuck in a life that should have made him happy but wasn’t his own. Together, they navigated Nick's transition from female to male as a couple and as parents and as business owners. They negotiated the challenges of transitioning while blending a family and keeping their businesses afloat. They continue maneuvering through marriage, parenting five kids, nontraditional gender roles (who pays the bills and does the dishes?,) and so much more. With true stories, embarrassing anecdotes, and practical advice, Nick and Katherine show their audience and clients how to start taking brave steps in their own lives, wherever they are starting. Nick and Katherine recently received a grant from Storyhive to create a documentary film about their family called “Just Another Beautiful Family” and are developing the "Beautiful Families" project which will include a conference, podcast, and supportive online community for all sorts of nontraditional families. They have appeared on numerous stages and media outlets.

#68 Creating Vision: A Conversation with Natalie Allgyer On the Recapture Self podcast it’s our intention to give you a peek at the lives of moms and women who are balancing daily life, motherhood, and a commitment to their creative selves. These are women who are making time and space for their passion projects whether that be writing a book, designing a blog, photographing their family, or running a business. PREPARE TO BE INSPIRED BY THEIR STORIES. This week I’m chatting with Natalie Allgyer. Natalie Allgyer is a photo artist, with a fiercely creative soul who uses a camera and photoshop to display a wide array of feeling and emotion. She learned her craft on her own and continues to hone it weekly. Born in NJ she and her husband chose Charleston, SC as the place for them to raise their daughter. It was in Charleston that Natalie found her soul, and the creativity began to flow thru the lens of her camera. At one point she decided that reality wasn’t conveying her message as deeply as she felt it so she took to photoshop. That is where the magic began. Natalie’s whimsical style incorporates pieces of her own images that she makes with her dslr camera. It can take an upward of 20 images to create one of her works. She enjoys using elements of nature and the world around her in her art. Her carefully curated color choices in combination with painstakingly thoughtful lighting, contrast, and texture lends itself to her empathic vibe and painterly feel. Each of Natalie pieces are available as limited edition prints only. Once they run out that is it. There will be no more creations of that particular piece. Each print is printed on archival velvet paper, signed and numbered by Natalie herself, and each comes with a certificate of authenticity. Natalie’s mission is to show you the world thru her eyes while also conveying feelings and vibes that just about each and every one of us could relate to in some way. Cheers and enjoy!
