Episode 36:

The Introvert’s Eye with Beth Buelow

In Episode 36, Brie sits down with coach, writer, and abstract architecture photographer Beth Buelow for a heartfelt and honest conversation about introversion, creative intuition, and how photography becomes a bridge—whether it’s to people, to self, or to the world around us.

From solo train rides to the streets of Chicago, to Death Valley workshops that challenge identity, Beth shares how her photography practice is both an artistic outlet and a path toward deeper connection. They explore the ways creative vision evolves, the importance of awe in a heavy world, and the surprising power of a phone camera when the moment calls.

Whether you’re introverted, extroverted, or somewhere in between, this episode is full of warmth, permission, and thoughtful reflection.

Highlights from this episode:

• Beth reflects on 16 years of coaching, especially for introverted leaders and creatives.

• Brie and Beth unpack how introversion and extroversion shape their experience behind the camera.

• Beth shares how photographing people candidly helps her connect in ways she never expected.

• A powerful story of her award-winning iPhone image of Amish travelers in Chicago—captured spontaneously and later displayed in a museum.

• They explore how intuition drives location choices—from solo Chicago trips to unexpected transformation in Death Valley.

• Why labels like “landscape photographer” can be limiting—and how Beth moved beyond them.

• The idea of the camera as connection, not a barrier, for those who identify as more inward-focused.

• Beth explains how small discoveries—like the shape of a shadow or a building’s curve—become moments of shared wonder.

• They talk about how creativity survives even in oppression, referencing Japanese internment camp gardens and the necessity of art during hard times.

• Brie and Beth celebrate “adventures in intuition” as equally vital as any big journey.
