Raise your hand if you’ve ever gotten a message so long, you needed a snack halfway through reading it. 🙃

This week, we’re talking about THAT kind of client (or inquiry).

The one with 67 questions.
And unlimited access expectations.
And zero boundaries.

In this week’s podcast episode, I’m giving you the tools and scripts you need to protect your time, your energy, and your business (while still showing up like a professional).

Comment 184 and I’ll send you the link to listen (and let you know the threads post that stopped me in my tracks last week).

I love living here—but every now and then, a sunset like this one stops me in my tracks!

The kind of moment that makes you pause and remember:

*This* is the whole point.

Not just building a business.
Not just hitting the next milestone.
But building a life that feels like this.

Next week, I get to share this place—my home—with 11 incredible women I have the honor of coaching. And I hope this sunset gives them what it gives me:

Perspective. Peace. Possibility.

Tariffs. Rising costs. Vendor pricing shifts. 😬

This week’s episode of The Power in Purpose is unlike anything I’ve done before because honestly? This feels like an emergency.

With new tariffs being applied across nearly all imported goods, the impact on the wedding industry is hitting everyone. Florists, planners, rental companies, caterers, DJs… no one is untouched.

So I called in someone who really knows what’s going on behind the scenes: my husband Jason (yes, his very first appearance on the pod 🎙️), who has deep expertise in logistics, shipping, and global trade.

Together, we’re breaking down:
👉🏻 Why these new tariffs are happening (in plain English)
👉🏻 How they’re driving up pricing for vendors + clients alike
👉🏻 What you should be saying to your clients right now
👉🏻 How to advocate, advise, and guide through economic uncertainty

Here’s the thing: you don’t have to have all the answers. What matters most is transparency, honesty, and your ability to help clients adjust and adapt.

Comment “183” and I’ll DM you the link to listen.

Does the “wedding tax” really exist - and have weddings gotten too expensive? 😳

As an industry, let’s have an open and transparent conversation about costs… and trust. I’m breaking this down on this week’s episode of my podcast, The Power in Purpose, and I’m inviting you to join.

I’m asking/answering questions like:

👉🏻 Have costs risen too high?
👉🏻 Why are so many couples “venue poor”?
👉🏻 Have we lost trust with couples - and what can we do to gain it back?
👉🏻 Do vendors really charge more when they hear the word “wedding?”
👉🏻 Are we losing our hospitality as an industry?
👉🏻 How can we be more transparent?

And a whole lot more.
