August is coming to a close and that means we’re wrapping up the feverish dream that is Summer and settling into a cozy Fall. I don’t know about you - but this is where I typically start laying new intentions for a new season. And this year? I’m all about intuition and intentionality. Not like other girls - we’re being very demure, very mindful.

But wtf does that mean, right? I can’t tell you how many times I’ve showed up into spiritual practices/spaces just to be left to my own devices on what it means to follow my intuition and gut. So here’s how I’m practicing lately..

One. Connecting with my body first thing in the morning. Whether that’s moving, grooving, or breathing into this lil body I call home. How can I reach homeostasis first thing before the stress of the day kicks in?

Two. What do I have to do today and how can I be fully present? I try to truly feel my body while going about tasks that are typically on autopilot.

Three. Any time stress comes up, I pause. Where in my body is this? How can I identify the root and then hold space for the emotion until I return back to that original homeostasis?

Four. When it comes to work and big decisions I ask myself this - am I doing this because I want to? Or because I feel like I should want it?

Five. I’m not the biggest journal-er, nor writer of “five things I’m grateful for”. BUT being in a long distance relationship has me picking up new habits. My girlfriend and I started a shared note where we leave a summary of our day every night, and it’s surprisingly doubled as a gratitude routine for me. I get to look back on my day, every evening, with gratitude and excitement filled eyes. Proud of what I achieved, or didn’t, small moments I would normally look past, and how I showed up. 10/10 recommend. Very demure.

Don’t feel like you have to try allll of these at once, babe. But I’m going to challenge you to do at least one. Comment letting me know which one you’re choosing and let’s keep each other accountable!

And PS ICYMI, we have ONE spot left for our new coaching container- dedicated to breaking through your subconscious blocks and reprogramming your mind + body to ACTUALLY hit your goals. Lets chat!

Intro time!! So many new faces around here so I wanted to introduce myself — let’s be friends!!

I’m Eden — a six figure photographer turned business coach, now leading hundreds of creative entrepreneurs in building a life of artistic growth, wealth, and personal power.

In a nutshell? I help creative visionaries discovery their unique brand voice— then execute it strategically through systems that simplify and propel. It’s time to make more money while getting your weekends back.

I’m happiest topless on beaches in Europe, at concerts with my friends, or snuggling my pup in my new home in Chicago. I want to make sure you’re in your happy place as often as you can be, because I know what it’s like to be in survival.

My business gave me the power to leave a toxic marriage. To rebuild myself and my life. To be fulfilled daily. To get my bank account back up from 0. To move across the country to the city of my dreams. To live my dream life on the daily. And now I get to help creatives do the same. I am the LUCKIEST?

I’m a firm believer that you should build a dream business to build your dream life. You have the power to manifest wealth in every way- your bank account is just the beginning.

I can’t wait to get to know you more, whether you’re new here or been here since the OG Utah wedding photographer days! I love ya, I mean it, so introduce yourself below 👇🏻

Hi. I’m back. Coming back from the deepest burnout I’ve ever experienced in my career. Burnout brought up so many things- embarrassment, shame, imposter syndrome. It uncovered me to my core leaving me asking the age old questions. What is my why? What is my purpose? What am I supposed to be doing to right now?

So I rested. I focused on what I know - that I love my clients. I love my community. I love rest. I love celebration. I love moving my body. And I let the rest bleed in on its own time.

I’ve released the pressure of beating burnout and instead let it with curiosity. Where can I create more passion? How can I allow love into my business more? Connection? I’m so excited about coming back slowly but surely into this new chapter of my business and so excited to share it with all of you. It’s going to be the most wholesome, recharged, connective chapter yet. I’m so happy to have you here. Oh, and happy brat summer! We’re dancing our way through it.

I’ve been off the (static) gram for quite a bit this summer. Soaking up the last sunny days I have here in NYC, drenched in so. much. love. from my community and chosen family.

Overwhelmingly grateful for a business that’s allowed me to do so. That’s allowed me to unplug. To exist. To sit in the sun. To play. To do passion projects. To photograph again. To love.

Here’s to the most beautiful and fulfilling summer yet, babes. Don’t forget to clock out sometimes.

Being an online educator, earning passive income, is more than money to me. It’s a gateway into a better and bigger life. And after years of going back and forth on releasing the teachings that helped me clear 1mil in revenue by 27, that helped me build my life again from the ground up, that gave me my dream life… I’m so happy to say it’s finally live :’))))

And now it’s yours, babes. Every last tip, trick, and strategy I’ve built since 2019 when I released my first course. Comment “passive” below and I’ll send it straight to you! I can’t wait to see you in there 🥹

Here’s the thing about ideal clients babes – they come in all shapes and sizes. Some don’t know anything about you, some just need to learn more, and some just need to convert.

That means that you need to be serving each kind of ideal client, regardless of what stage they’re at in the process. Is your content optimized to move them from the cold to sold funnel and serve them at every level?

If not, you miiiiiiight know what I’m gonna say. Twin flames! Come join our fan favorite course to identify your ideal client and rock their world at every step of the process from cold to sold, create aligned content, easily and effortlessly, and infuse everything you do with proven sales strategies.

Here’s the thing about ideal clients- they only show up if you call them first. You’re not speaking to them? You’re not showing them exactly what they need to see? They’re leaving babyyyyyyyyy.

When we’re getting ghosted, not seeing inquiries, or not finding our soul mate clients- that means there’s a difference between our perceived value and ACTUAL value. Want to know how to communicate your actual value babes?

Come join twin flames! The course for creatives who want to take the SUCK out of SELLING and shift into an aligned, booked, balanced, and blessed business.

Selling is a science, but we sprinkle in a little spirituality and soul magic to create an in-depth course that will transform your business and client attraction strategy forever.

Here’s your challenge: Show up and sell today. Even if it’s as simple as dropping your favorite portfolio example, review, or even piece of inspiration - and link your audience to your contact or sales page. Stop missing out on potential clients because you’re too scared to talk about how much you love your business babes ♥️♥️♥️

02/02/2024

In honor of NYC not seeing the sun in 17362618 days 🌞

Anywho… a little reminder for you all today.

A UNIQUE BUSINESS IS THE KEY TO YOUR SUCCESS - STOP STUNTING YOURSELF BEFORE YOU EVEN START.

Ooof, sorry for raising my voice but also.. kind of not. Stop trying to make your business for everyone- it isn’t. No incredible, thriving, business is. Successful businesses know EXACTLY who they’re service and EXACTLY what niche they fill. By watering down your business and brand? You’re draining the passion right out of your business AND your customers.

Something fun is coming back Monday to help with alllll of this babes, get ready to say hello to your twin flame clients with soul aligned selling ✨

02/01/2024

Are you building your ideal client off a set of demographics? STOP. Please. I’m begging you, stop writing down where they shop or how much they make a year.

Your ideal client isn’t going to hire you because you both like dogs or Anthro. They’re going to hire you, and pay you, based on how much they connect with you. How much they NEED your product or service. They’ll save up if they know they cannot get this experience from anyone else. So let’s talk about what questions you actually need to be asking to identify your ideal client..

1. What do they value? What is important to them? Spoiler alert- it’s what you value. And it’s what’s important to you. Start with personally, because what’s important to you personally should bleed into every part of your branding (if you let it).

2. What are they looking to connect with online? When your ideal client logs into IG, what are they looking to find? What about Pinterest? Or even FB? What are they searching for that YOU can show up and give them.

3. What problem do they need solved? And get as specific with this one as possible. Not just “they need a wedding photographer” or “they need a makeup look done”. How about..
They need a photographer who wants a personalized experience that doesn’t feel forced, one that feels un-intrusive, and one that feels like THEM.
Or..
They need a clean makeup look done by an artist that cares about them, their skin, and their experience. They want to feel personally valued, and leaving their appointment feeling beautiful from the inside out.

And these things, *an ideal client maketh*
Who’s your ideal client? Write it out in case it’s someone reading ;)

Hot Take: Selling isn’t icky if you’re passionate in your products + services.

You should love your business so much you know it’s a disservice for people to not experience it— you should love it so much you literally can’t stop talking about it! This is how much fun it is! This is how it changes lives! This is how needed it is in peoples lives!

If talking about your business feels icky.. We have bigger problems than selling, babes.

Stop making yourself small

Not booking enough clients? Spoiler alert - it's because you're not communicating your value properly. If I can put my money on anything, it's that you're keeping yourself small and digestible so you don't get perceived incorrectly. Judged. I mean what if they think you're embarrassing? Or think you're not the business for you? But really, what if? Nothing. Nothing will happen. And if you have to be sitting there happy, rich, fulfilled, while a few boring and sad people judge you? So be it. Your people will be there, even more passionate about you and your business, because they know how magical and unique it is. Let's get to it. PS. VIP days are back - only three available in March. Three one on one workshops for the Creative done playing small, ready to align with their highest selves and their dream business in 2023.

How my divorce changed my life

My divorce changed my business and life - the thing I thought I'd never survived propelled me into my dream life. I want you to do the same ❤️ you deserve nothing less than magic.

Not the 2023 vibe

Hear ye me: there's a lot of things that could *hypothetically* stop me from hitting my goals this year.. my limiting beliefs will not be one of them.

When I tell you I want you to live your dream life, I mean it. Because I know how it feels to be at rock bottom. I know how it feels to feel like you might be surviving. And worried you'll have to survive the rest of your life. Or maybe you've done the hard part, but it feels like you're still struggling to move it further. Maybe you don't know where the end goal is. But you don't have to. You don't have to know where you want to end up. You don't even need to know how to get there. You just need to take a step forward - just one. Just change one thing in your life that you know is draining you. And once that's done? You can take another one. Baby steps lead to the dream life, babe. And I promise you are so worth and capable of having it. You deserve love. You deserve happiness. You deserve abundance. You deserve a business that lights you up. Humans that shower you with care. All of it. So take this as your sign to start making those baby steps now ❤️ push through that fear, I promise it's worth it. Love you, mean it. Future you... and me, are cheering you on endlessly. xx . . . . . #futureyou #futurelife #happinessquotes #successquotes #successmindset #dreamlife #dreamlifestyle #dreamlifequotes #happinessisachoice #universehasyourback #angelnumbers #happylife #happylifequotes

Today on the podcast we're recapping 2021, and it has been SO fun to look back on everything we did this year! From launches, to trips, to personal changes and a giant cross country move, this year has been a whirlwind.. in the best way possible. One huge thing I did for my business this year was outsource social media. Outsourcing things that don't light me up + things I don't excel at has been one of the bestttt things I have ever done. Seriously. Now I have more time to focus on things I'm passionate about, and more time for myself, which has been so so incredible and life changing. Come listen to today's podcast episode where we dive into our past year here at Eden Strader and give you some tips to start off a fresh new year! ✨

Send an email to [email protected] with a raw if you’d like to test out these gorg presets, or head to my bio to grab a pack for yourself ✨

When planning out your year, think about: What do our clients need to hear in order to hire us? What are they missing that WE can fulfill? Then once you have that, brainstorm how you can break this up into themes for each month. Are you a photographer? Maybe during January, in the thick of engagement season, you can talk about things couple's would want to know while getting engaged. In February, the month of love, you can share your couple's stories. Think of a topic for every month of the year! And remember: People ingest SO much content on a daily basis. You can repurpose things and people would never even know. Come listen to today's podcast on how we plan out content for the year, and what system we use!

WELCOME BACK to another Editing with Eden!! Today we're editing the dreamiest wedding in the dreamiest location, all with #edenstraderpresets.
