Mentoring for creatives who want clarity — not another system to follow.

Mentoring, for me, isn’t about telling you what to do.

It’s about helping you think clearly again — so you can make decisions that actually fit your values, capacity, and the season of life you’re in.

If your business looks “fine” on the outside but feels heavy, noisy, or increasingly misaligned on the inside, this space is for you.

MENTORING FOR INTENTIONAL PHOTOGRAPHERS

Hi, I’m Milly.

Most burnout doesn’t come from doing too much.
It comes from running a business that no longer fits the person you are now.

I work with creatives who are thoughtful, emotionally aware, and deeply invested in what they make — and who are tired of being told they just need better boundaries, more discipline, or another strategy.

There is no one-size-fits-all business.
There is only one that fits you.

Everything offered here is designed to support clarity, self-trust, and sustainability — not performance or pressure.

This might be a good fit if:

  • You feel emotionally drained before your calendar is even full

  • You’re navigating burnout, a pivot, or a life change

  • You care deeply about inclusivity, integrity, and client experience

  • You want support thinking through decisions — not a one-size-fits-all solution

  • You’re building something real, not just something that looks good

This probably isn’t a fit if:

  • You’re looking for step-by-step formulas or guarantees

  • You want fast answers without context

  • You’re outsourcing your decisions instead of learning to trust yourself

how we work together

  • A calm, focused space to untangle what feels noisy.

    These sessions are for moments when you’re stuck in a decision, navigating change, or feeling overwhelmed by options. We’ll slow things down, identify what’s actually misaligned, and work toward a solution that fits you — not a template.

    This can look like:

    • Talking through pricing or positioning shifts

    • Redesigning systems to better support your capacity

    • Navigating burnout or a pivot with clarity

    • Making space for change without starting over

    Best for: focused clarity, transitions, and decision-making
    Format: single sessions or short-term support

  • A mentoring circle for cultivating sustainable creative work.

    The Garden is a seasonal mentoring series offered four times a year, beginning on the first Monday of each season. Each season includes three monthly group calls — teaching, case study, and open discussion — designed to help you reflect, recalibrate, and make decisions that fit your values and capacity.

    Join for a full season or drop into individual calls as needed.
    This is a space for clarity, not constant output.

    Best for: ongoing support, perspective, and community
    Format: monthly live calls + occasional case studies

  • For when you want to think privately, at your own pace.

    The Library is a growing collection of recordings, resources, and reflections designed to help you orient yourself — without the pressure of showing up live.

    Here you’ll find:

    • Call replays from group mentoring

    • Standalone workshops and conversations

    • Tools and prompts for clarity and alignment

    No subscriptions. No content churn.
    Just resources you can return to when you need them.

    Best for: quiet reflection and self-guided work

What this mentoring is (and isn’t)

This work is:

  • Collaborative, not prescriptive

  • Grounded in lived experience

  • Designed around real capacity

  • Focused on clarity over optimization

I won’t tell you what to do.
I’ll help you see more clearly — so you can decide with confidence.

This work is not:

  • A highlight reel

  • A productivity system

  • A set of rules to follow

You’re not behind.

You’re just in a season that needs something different.

If you’re ready to build (or rebuild) a business that feels sustainable, honest, and truly yours — you’re welcome here.
