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?

*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

Sometimes, the key to raising your price as a wedding planner is having a little audacity.

I don’t want 2025 to be the year where you let the side of your brain that believes you can’t do things get in the way of you doing them. Like…

Raising your price
Growing your team
Building your brand
Getting paid more than your babysitter

Instead, I want you to imagine this…

You’re wrapping up your biggest year in business yet. You’ve hit $100K, working with clients who value you, charging rates that actually pay you like a CEO, and running a business that feels as good as it looks.

What changed?

💡 You stopped waiting for permission to level up.
💡 You stopped thinking six figures was only for other planners.
💡 You started pricing yourself for profit—not just to stay busy.
💡 You had a little extra audacity that believed it was possible.

Growing your wedding planning business toward the income goals you have is WAY more possible than you think. You just need to switch up a few key strategies in your business, and I promise, it’s right there.

📣 Next week, I’m hosting a FREE masterclass where I’m breaking down exactly how wedding planners hit their first $100K year—without overworking, undercharging, or waiting years to “earn” it.

It all started with one deep-ass conversation.

A few weeks ago, I was sitting on my patio in Barbados with @c10ike, talking for hours about life, business, friendship, and everything in between.

No agenda, no filters, no bullshit. Just real, unedited conversations.

And somewhere between the beach, the lattes, and the 5-hour deep dives, we realized something: these conversations deserved to be shared.

So much of what we see online is curated to perfection. But the best moments? The most transformative, soul-filling, perspective-shifting conversations? They don’t happen on a stage, or in a perfectly polished IG post.

They happen in the in-between.

On a couch, barefoot.

On a patio, wine in hand.

When the masks are off, and we just talk.

So this week, I’m bringing you my newest series on the podcast: Patio Chats.

In this episode, we’re talking about:
✨ Why we need more scruffy hospitality
✨ Paying attention to the people who pay attention to YOU.
✨ Why your “soil” determines what you attract.
✨ The small ways we can all create better ripples in our industries, our friendships, and our lives.

Comment 177 and I’ll send you the link to listen.
