Viara Mileva, PhD is back, with our good buddy Liz Cooper, to unpack childhood attachment styles, and pontificate on how they affect us and our interpersonal relationships as adults. Viara is wearing her former academic hat (she works now as a photographer,) as she spent years in the lab studying how primary caregivers and small children interacted and bonded (or in some cases, how they didn’t do those things.) We break down the different attachment styles, how they’re formed, and what they mean. We discuss whether one can work around these labels, or even overcome them. We also get into the importance of taking these labels with a grain of salt, and recognizing the complex series of factors that go into any and all of our behaviours. Attachment styles are but a piece of the puzzle, but they’re an important piece and we’ve all got them. Let’s get vulnerable, baby!We do mention several books on the subject. If you’d like to delve deeper, we recommend these: Attached by Amir Levine and Rachel Heller, The Jealousy Cure by Robert Leahy and Paul Gilbert, and Wired For Dating by Stan Tatkin.

68 – So Why Do I Feel Like A Psychopath? (Attachment Theory w/ Viara Mileva)

It’s all about having the right mindset. In a time when we find ourselves in a lot of uncertainty and self-isolating at home, it can be a great time to ask the right questions like, "How can I be the best that I can be during this time for myself and for others?” I spoke to Viara Mileva, a psychologist-turned-photographer, about great ways that photographers can bring in more income while stuck at home during COVID-19. Both Viara and I share what we do in our business, and encourage you to also see the strengths in yourself that you can further share with your community online. Timestamps:[04:23] My guest on this episode is Viara Mileva. She has a Phd in parent + child interactions and even though she is a psychologist-turned-photographer, she still thinks like a scientist. It’s super interesting to hear Viara’s story and what made her choose photography as her second career and why she loves documenting families so much. [12:38] A fun little lightning round of questions to get to know Viara better before we dive into talking about our tips and ideas for bringing in more income as a photographer. [15:00] Viara shares a very interesting poll that a business coach Todd Herman did involving 29 top CEOs. He found that there are three types of people and how greatly their mindsets differ and how things like the way we think and the language we use can affect our success. [20:08] Even though we find ourselves in a time of a lot of uncertainty, Viara tells how growing up in Bulgaria in a time when the communist regime fell actually helped her brace these times more calmly. [26:09] Action steps, ideas, and advice for photographers from both Viara and I that can help you bring in more income while stuck at home. [1:03:42] In the end, Viara offers a little mindset exercise that all of us can do to improve not only our self worth but also the way we see value that we bring to the world. Resources:Viara’s wedding photography website Viara’s wedding photography on Instagram Viara’s family + other photography work on Instagram Viara’s general photography website Viara’s workshop for folks in self-isolation GumroadImage Source Westend Stocksy Kayla Yestal's Fine Art Print Shop  My Online Photography Courses for YouOutsourcing Made Easy: Learn how you can have more time freedom AND financial freedom as a portrait/wedding photographer.
