I'm Candice, your new tell-it-like-it-is BFF (and purpose cheerleader). Are you ready to grow and scale a profitable business with purpose–and one that gives back to your meaningful life? Thought so!

hello,

What's your brand cocktail for success?

take the quiz

*cues up to the bar* Let's start the tab, shall we? Take the quiz and find your brand cocktail for success.

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.

You wanted to learn more about pivoting in business–what it’s like, how you can get started, 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 pivoting in business today.

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.

  • Why pivoting might be the right move for you
  • 7 steps to take to start pivoting

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.
