I don’t believe we’re meant to do the same thing forever. In fact, I think most entrepreneurs are multi-passionate, multi-hyphenated creatives. And this is a sentiment that became even more obvious after we asked you what types of episodes you’d like to see on The Power in Purpose podcast. You want to learn about pivoting in business–what it’s like, how to start, and what to expect when you decide to leave behind your business/career and start something new.
In this episode, I’m giving you permission to pivot–and sharing what I learned when I sold my first business and followed my purpose and how you can start making a change in business today.
Maybe you’re feeling burnt out and you’re looking for something new and exhilarating. Or, maybe you don’t have the same love and joy you once did when you started your career. Pivoting can be scary, hard, and honestly stressful.
But there’s not a day that goes by where I’m not grateful I took the leap and decided to shift course in my career.
If you’ve been feeling that nudge… or heck, that aggressive push to try something new, this episode is for you.

I know what pivoting is like firsthand; in October of 2019, I sold my 6-figure business of 12 years so I could coach and mentor wedding pros full time. After so many years doing (and being known for) one thing, pivoting was exciting and exhilarating.
But it was also hard, full of imposter syndrome, and felt like totally starting over. Today, I’m sharing the good, the bad, and the hard when it comes to pivoting.
This episode is part of our mindset series.

💸 Last year, I spent $60,000 on my own education and business development.
Courses. Masterminds. One-on-one coaching. All of it.
And while those numbers sound big (and they are), I also love investing in my business. I’ve worked with a coach since 2017, and I can confidently say while not every investment I make is a winner, many of the investments I’ve made are a major reason my business looks the way it does today.
But here’s what I’ve learned along the way:
✨ Not every investment gives you the same ROI.
✨ Where you are in your journey matters when deciding which style of education and support is right for you
✨ Growth happens when you’re the smallest fish in the room
In this week’s podcast episode, I’m breaking down exactly what I learned from investing $60K into my growth and more importantly, how you can use those lessons to make smarter decisions about YOUR next investment.
Think of it as a buyer’s guide to business education, told by someone who’s been on both sides: student and coach.

Hitting six figures in your wedding business is a big deal but let’s be honest, it doesn’t feel as good as you thought it would, does it?
Suddenly, you need more leads just to keep your team busy. The stakes get higher, your time gets split between client work, team management, and growth… and now you also have to be the CMO of your own business.
I hate to be the one to tell you this but the strategies that got you to six figures won’t get you past six figures.
In this week’s episode of The Power in Purpose, I’m sharing some of the biggest problems I see wedding pros tackle AFTER hitting that coveted “100K” mark in their business.
I’m sharing things like:
→ The hidden roadblocks keeping you stuck in the busy-but-not-profitable cycle
→ Why broken systems and over-delivering will cap your growth
→ The mindset + strategy shifts that help you step into your CEO role
