Unlocking The Power Of A Creative Community That Benefits Everyone with Malia Battilana

Since I dreamed of having a podcast, my main purpose has been to build community and provide more resources to mamas so it's extra fun to connect with other women doing that same thing and sharing that same passion! Malia is definitely one of those women and we particularly share a love for the northwest valley here in Phoenix.In this amazing episode about connecting with women, we discuss so much about the journey we go on from singlehood, to marriage, to motherhood, to careers, to community.Episode Highlights:• Why we long for community• Juggling motherhood and careers• Some out-of-the-box ways women can connect• How to help women thrive!About Malia: Hi, I’m Malia! I am a wife, mom of three pretty amazing kids, an addict to anything sweet and a lover of the small details in life that make a big impact. I knew early on I would be surrounded by children and pursued my degree in Early Childhood Education. Being a teacher confirmed my love for children and the innocence and purity they bring to the world. But then I found that I had this passion for photography and the moments that could be captured. After resigning from being a teacher, I opened my photography studio in 2010 and never looked back. I believe in the “ life is too short to play small motto.” Now I run my full time professional baby photography studio in my commercial studio space that doubles as a women focused creative work space. Since 2018, we are empowering creative entrepreneurs to get out of their homes and coffee shops and work together. The Collective Studio is now 2yrs old and helping make an impact on how women entrepreneurs work, live and grow personally.Connect with Malia: The Motherhood Collective on Facebook www.facebook.com/themotherhoodcollectiveaz.com Malia B Photographywww.maliabphotography.comListen Live at: https://www.spreaker.com/user/11246902/maliaConnect with us on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/MomentOfTruthPhysicalTherapyConnect with us on Instagram at: @momentoftruthpt

Episode 10 - Bringing Community Together, with Special Guest Malia Battilana
