In this episode, Taylor is joined by Eden Strader – a six-figure photographer turned business coach and host of the That’s My Personal Business podcast. Eden dives right into her story of growing up as a Mormon in Utah and how she got married at 19 which led to her starting her career in photography. Eden and Taylor get real about divorce in their 20s and the commonalities they both experienced being young and married in a religious community. Eden talks about how her divorce led to a pivotal moment in her life, leading her to take her business full-time, become a coach, and discover her true self. Eden opens up about coming out as gay this year and what her life has looked like since. Taylor puts Eden on the spot for some hot seat coaching Q&A for entrepreneurs listening who may be feeling stuck in their business, scared to show up authentically, or intimidated by social media.
