The Power in Purpose: A Wedding Industry Podcast for Wedding Pros
Setting boundaries with wedding clients is something we all know we should be doing, and listen, plenty of us do have a boundaries problem. But here's what I've noticed as a coach: there's something deeper at play, and it's the real reason you're answering client texts from your dinner table, your kid's softball game, or the beach on a Saturday.

217 | The Stuff My Students Are Building With AI That's Lowkey Blowing My Mind
The Power in Purpose: A Wedding Industry Podcast for Wedding Pros
Something has been happening inside my programs lately that makes my week every single time I see it. The women I coach have stopped dabbling in AI for wedding pros and started building with it. What they're creating is blowing my mind! We're not talking about using AI to write captions or generate a few content ideas. We're talking about actual tools that go off and do the work for them while they're living their lives and focusing on the things that matter most. On this episode of The Power in Purpose Podcast: [04:16]: What you need to understand before using AI for wedding pros [05:52]:...

215 | The Pattern I'm Seeing in Every Six-Figure Wedding Business (And It's Breaking Them)
The Power in Purpose: A Wedding Industry Podcast for Wedding Pros
In this episode, I’m sharing a conversation that started inside my Wedding Pro Insiders Mastermind retreat here in Barbados and quickly became one of the most impactful discussions we had all week. We spent time talking about refinement, not growth for growth’s sake, not adding more, but getting honest about what’s actually serving us in a six-figure wedding business and what’s simply creating more complexity. On this episode of The Power in Purpose Podcast: [04:22]: The one skill I think you need to hone in your six-figure wedding business this year [05:42]: The question every...

The Power in Purpose: A Wedding Industry Podcast for Wedding Pros
Have you ever felt like your life looks completely fine on the outside, but inside you're barely holding it together? That's exactly where I found myself and it wasn't until a routine physiotherapy appointment that everything finally clicked into place for me. In today's episode, I'm sharing my very personal journey with nervous system dysregulation in the wedding industry: what it is, how I discovered I'd been living in this state for years (possibly decades), and why I've made it one of my biggest priorities (both in my own life and inside my mastermind, Wedding Pro Insiders). Please note: I...

The Power in Purpose: A Wedding Industry Podcast for Wedding Pros
In this episode, I'm breaking down the exact plan I would follow to grow a wedding business from 100K to 250K in the next 12 months (including what I'd stop doing, what I'd start doing, and what I'd do differently). You're not going to get to $250K as a wedding pro by doing more of what built your 100K business. This is a different level, and it requires different decisions. On this episode of The Power in Purpose Podcast: [05:47]: You are not going to get to 250K by doing more of what built your 100K business. [09:01]: If you want a different level of growth, you need to accept this ...
