444: How to Support a Friend Going Through a Miscarriage
In this powerful and deeply personal episode of The Heart and Hustle Podcast, your favorite besties get raw and real about one of the most sensitive topics a friend can face: supporting someone through a miscarriage. Whether you’ve been there yourself or simply want to show up well for a friend who’s hurting, we’re giving you the no-BS guide to being the kind of friend who truly cares — from what to say (and definitely NOT say), to how to check in weeks or months later when the rest of the world has moved on. We’ll walk you through thoughtful ways to show up — like remembering their due date, marking Mother’s Day, or dropping dinner at their door without making them decide what they need — and we’ll also call out the phrases and faux pas that can hurt more than help (spoiler: “at least…” has no place here). Plus, we’re sharing how to navigate sharing your own pregnancy news with a friend who’s experienced loss with empathy, tact, and love. Above all, this conversation is a reminder that the most important thing you can do is simply show up — imperfectly, wholeheartedly, and with a heart that says, “I’m here, and I love you.” --------------------------------- Imposter Syndrome Freebie: --------------------------------- Website Templates: --------------------------------- Check Out Our Course Library: --------------------------------- Watch on YouTube: --------------------------------- If you want to connect with us and other listeners in the Heart and Hustle community join our Facebook group . --------------------------------- “PODCAST10” for 10% off anything from The Shop! --------------------------------- Follow along:

443: How This Wedding Filmmaker Turned His Passion for Storytelling into a Multi-Faceted Youtube Brand with Eric Floberg
Ever wondered what happens when a high school teacher swaps textbooks for a camera and turns weddings into cinematic art? This week on the Heart and Hustle Podcast, Lindsey and Evie sit down with filmmaker, photographer, YouTuber, and all-around creative powerhouse Eric Floberg. Get ready to dive deep into storytelling, sustainability, and diversification as Eric opens up about why he calls them wedding films (not videos) and how intentional language sets the tone for deeper client relationships. He shares his philosophy on storytelling—hint: it involves indie film vibes, fog machines, and capturing raw, unscripted emotion. Eric elaborates on why he had to double his prices (literally) to save his sanity and scale with purpose, and how he’s using his passions (even running!) to open up new creative and financial doors. Whether you're a wedding filmmaker, photographer, or entrepreneur with too many passions and not enough time, this episode will challenge you to go deeper with your craft, rethink your pricing, and explore sustainable paths to creative freedom. --------------------------------- IG Bio Freebie: --------------------------------- Heart Shop: --------------------------------- Primally Pure: Use HEARTANDHUSTLE for 10% OFF. --------------------------------- Keep up with Eric: Website - Instagram - YouTube - --------------------------------- Watch on YouTube: --------------------------------- If you want to connect with us and other listeners in the Heart and Hustle community join our Facebook group . --------------------------------- “PODCAST10” for 10% off anything from The Shop! --------------------------------- Follow along:

440: Building a Strong Marriage - Should It Make Us Holy or Happy with Gary Thomas
Today on the Heart and Hustle Podcast Evie and Lindsey are sitting down and chatting with Gary Thomas, a bestselling author and international speaker whose ministry brings people closer to Christ, their spouses, and others. Evie and Lindsey dive right in by asking Gary to elaborate on a central theme of his book, "Sacred Marriage": "What if God designed marriage to make us holy more than to make us happy?". They talk about how many couples may enter marriage with the expectation that it will fulfill and satisfy them emotionally, what Gary would say to those who are currently feeling disillusioned or disappointed in their marriage experience, and what some tangible practices are that they can implement to begin rebuilding trust and emotional intimacy. Gary describes marriage as a refining fire, a context in which God often reveals and shapes our character, and he gives his insights on how couples should respond when they begin to see their own weaknesses or sin more clearly through the relationship. They explore the importance of praying together in a marriage, what simple daily and weekly practices can strengthen marriage and invite God’s presence in the relationship, and so much more on this week’s episode of the Heart and Hustle podcast with Gary Thomas. --------------------------------- Editing Style Freebie: --------------------------------- Heart Shop: --------------------------------- Primally Pure: Use HEARTANDHUSTLE for 10% OFF. --------------------------------- Keep up with Gary and Check Out His Books: Website - Books - Blog - --------------------------------- Watch on YouTube: --------------------------------- If you want to connect with us and other listeners in the Heart and Hustle community join our Facebook group . --------------------------------- “PODCAST10” for 10% off anything from The Shop! --------------------------------- Follow along:

422: Balancing Full Time Motherhood as a Full Time Wedding Photographer - with Alex McCrary and Jamie Tobin
On this week’s episode of the Heart and Hustle Podcast we have the joy of sitting down with Alex McCrary and Jamie Tobin to talk all about building systems that work for both business and family life. We ask them about approaching destination elopement photography and traditional wedding photography differently while both raising a family, and what were some of the systems that they put in place early on in their careers that they still use today. Alex and Jamie dive into the importance of having a good support system to lean on, what the true value of being a present parent is while also being an entrepreneur, and how they overcome the common emotion of “mom-guilt” in their lives. If you are a mom and business owner who is trying to find systems to help better balance between the two, and you are looking to hear from two awesome photographers who have managed to build great business while being present parents, then this is the episode you do not want to miss! --------------------------------- Community Freebie: --------------------------------- HoneyBook: In addition to a FREE 7 day trial, get 35% off your first two years of HoneyBook! --------------------------------- Heart Apparel Shop: --------------------------------- Follow Alex and Jamie: Alex: Jamie: Check Out Their Podcast “Cameras and Car Seats”: --------------------------------- Watch on YouTube: --------------------------------- If you want to connect with us and other listeners in the Heart and Hustle community join our Facebook group . --------------------------------- “PODCAST10” for 10% off anything from The Shop! --------------------------------- Follow along:
