More impact and more interaction

Without regular access to a good photographer, getting my own image out there on a consistent basis had been a challenge. Monicka’s process made me realize that I could produce my own images.  I cannot explain how liberating this has been!

Using my own images regularly has been making more impact and getting more interaction.

I could not imagine that there was something that existed out there that would help me grow, AND help me explore my branding, AND produce photos.

I’ve had huge wins... fantastic photos I used in my launch. Which people responded to and they stopped the scroll.
If you look at how many photoshoots you get, the value there is exponential.

Monicka is not like anyone else, and neither is her instruction.
She has a blend of very practical photography information, and then she takes it and deconstructs it and makes it fun and surprising and unfamiliar. Not everyone has that underpinning philosophy of the self and kind of the deep art theory that she brings in.

I am my own photographer so I can have a photoshoot any time that I’m inspired to do so!

I used to be uninspired... seeing marketing was an obligation.
Now, the photos allowed me to write, allowed me to post and to be out there on social media. Often the images created the texts. I feel super curious about what there is more to be discovered.

Self-Magic work is grounding my self confidence.
Making visible my transformation of the last 2 years or something, into an image that deeply shows that.

Every woman wants to feel as beautiful and as powerful as I feel in these photos. Monicka gives space to just really come as you are as well as envision what you can be. I feel I am connecting to myself in a whole new way, I feel I’m being a version of myself I didn’t even know it was possible.

I want to have room to breathe. And this kind of thing is room. 
When you‘re doing Self-Magic you’re outside of time and place… Not like when you’e working, journaling or playing with the kids. Not like anything else you’re doing.
This process gives you the space to create for yourself.

It’s so fun and so cool to be able to make my own images… to have a visual component to all the words I have to say. Unlock doors within yourself, and have a bunch of unique images to go with it, through a process you OWN 100%.
Using my own images regularly has been making more impact and getting more interaction.

This process allows me to capture myself however I am, and however I want to show up. No one else can capture you like that. Turning your own gaze on yourself, and being so free doing that. It’s fun, exhilarating, intriguing, inviting... and the sense that you're somehow the wiser for it in the end. It's so liberating. Everyone should do it.

What’s obvious to the outside is fresh, bold and unforgettably ‘me’ visual branding, with photos that created throngs of admirers wondering who the heck my photographer was (just me and my iPhone). What they don’t know is that Monicka’s mentorship changed the way I show up to my business from the inside out.

I broke my own shell open, organized my shit, grew up, and dared the world to love me through both my most confident, genius edge and trembling vulnerability. Of course, that translated to more clients and more profit than I’ve ever created before.

Monicka is a magical coach who helped me illuminate the ways I hide. This process helped me break out of my cozy little, introvert shell. I’ve been in my own story and haven’t allowed myself to have and accept the full range of my emotions.  She taught me how to think about my own creativity in ways I’d never considered, and to use it to create my business identity.
She’ll help you bring YOU into what you do. Her process is SO unique and fun.

Now I’m my own canvas.
From a person who doesn’t take selfies, doesn’t show herself on social media, doesn’t do any of that, I learned how to use a process to be playful… My voice is coming out more naturally. I‘m enamored by all the different ways I can show myself.

I was really tuning in how much fun this was and how much I enjoyed it. I loved the workshop and the way you presented it! It really took me out of my comfort zone and gave me much inspiration.
I really wanted to feel it in my body; the joy.

So confidence building and inspirational. Got so many ideas for taking my own photos. I loved the 3-word reflections to help me see myself as well as giving that gift to others.

I wanted to learn how to take better photos of myself to feel confident to post them…
But the only way I can feel more confident about posting them, is liking the photos... learning about myself and loving myself.  

I got now pictures that look like me, and I love them, and they represent everything I touch. 
And I know that I can do that anytime if I want to. Not only that, but the actual taking of the pictures... was fun! I thought of what props to use, and had ideas, and was all of a sudden, oh, but I can do that…. I had no clue how to do that before. 

I saw myself in ways that I haven't been able to see myself for years, like years and years and years. It was really powerful and transformative.

Going through the photos sparks certainty in a perspective I want to share and have that represented in. There is no equations about “what’s my message. ” No need to question that.

Loving what is. Not just allowing it or accepting it, but like actively loving.
And yeah, it was really something, really something.

I know I needed to start showing myself more, and I didn’t quite know what I was all about.. I didn’t really know how I liked to be seen. I’ve never really done it (be seen.) And I didn’t know how to do that, or go about it, or enjoy it. 

This work IS really self- celebration for me. It's bringing a bit of magic and fun into how I see my business. It helps me approach my offerings and presentation in a way that is not straight on. It's like poking it from the side and what is inspired by it is fresh and comes about in new ways.

I have more authority, and more confidence. I’m no longer in the womb.
Working with Monicka has helped me see myself as emerging instead of stuck behind the scenes.
The way I'm presenting myself in front of my eyes, has changed the way I'm presenting myself to others, and that changed how I am perceived.

I was hiding behind writing and intellectual work, because being frozen in my body, also froze me up in my art... For the first time I was falling in love with myself again during the shoots. Being able to take pictures of myself and loving them was something unprecedented.

I didn’t know what my brand was or what kinds of images would “fit” with what I was creating in my business. Now I have a much better sense of who I am as my brand and what I want to cultivate.
I never expected to be able to actually take such great pictures myself, and I've been able to see myself in a whole new light when I look at the images.

Now I’m my own canvas.
My voice is coming out more naturally. I feel more playful, authentic… more confidence

Self-Magic has been a door to my work. It is allowing so much (and beyond) that I presume I'm not the only one having her life experience an utter revolution.

Amazed and delighted with the photos I've created.

I never expected to be able to actually take such great pictures myself, and I've been able to see myself in a whole new light when I look at the images.

When I started the program I didn’t know what my brand was or what kinds of images would “fit” with what I was creating in my business. Now I have a much better sense of who I am as my brand and what I want to cultivate.


Best of all, I am my own photographer so I can have a photoshoot any time that I’m inspired to do so!

I’m more brave and courageous in my visual representation on social media. 
The first thing that has changed for me is about that hotiness and sexiness that I bring to the table. I was trying to hide that part of me, from showing up in my business. I thought that this is not something that I want to lead with… or attract people with. I want to attract with my words, with what I have to say. This work gave me the realization that I need to combine it. I need to fuze it. It’s not like I can be someone else. I can’t. I have to be myself. More of myself. So now I don’t feel uncomfortable any more to be sexy and show up and show my body, and how sassy and feminine I can be… or maybe even aggressive, or whatever... I don’t mind showing that.. I realized that it's important to show that.

Now I’m my own canvas.
My voice is coming out more naturally. I feel more playful, authentically… more confidence

From a person who doesn’t take selfies, doesn’t show herself on social media, doesn’t do any of that... I‘m now enamored by all the different ways I can show myself. I'm actually very surprised each time. My canvas continues to evolve and that's exciting.

I’ve always been a creative, but I’ve never used me, my physical form as part of my creativity. So to be in front of the camera is very different.

At the beginning I’d look at my amazing Self-Magic pics and go “WHO is this woman?”
Now when I look at my pics: “I know this woman! This is Me!”

I discovered an image of myself I didn't know.

Get comfortable with not just owning your brand, but BEING your brand

This was so much fun! Get comfortable with not just owning your brand, but BEING your brand.
I'd recommend it to anyone who is confident in their work, but less confident in themselves.

Yes, you get very cool imagery for your brand and profile, but make no mistake.  This is self-love, confidence building and understanding at a new level. It is clarity, purpose and goalsetting all in one magical, multicolored, Willy Wonka style, gobstopper. I love how it pushed me out of the box, it feels so free to play this way!
