In Part 1 of our conversation, Anna Marie Bolet shares her path from a high-pressure career in pharmaceutical sales to finding purpose behind the lens. She opens up about the layoffs, burnout, and ethical challenges that pushed her toward entrepreneurship — and how rediscovering photography helped her reconnect with what really matters.
We talk about the mentors who shaped her journey, the emotional stories behind the portraits she captures, and why printed photographs still hold power in a digital world. Anna’s story is one of resilience, reinvention, and finding joy in helping others feel seen.
