Why Running a Wedding Business Is NOT Like Planning a Wedding

In this episode, I’m busting that myth wide open and diving into the real difference between doing the work and leading your business. I share how systems, strategy, and CEO-level thinking can help you stop spinning your wheels, step out of the weeds, and finally build a business that supports your life instead of draining it.

Together, we’ll explore the foundations every wedding business needs to thrive—finances, client experience, operations, marketing, vision, and more—and why shifting from “talent” mode to “owner” mode changes everything. If you’ve ever felt stuck on the hamster wheel, overwhelmed by emails, or unsure how to scale without burning out, this episode will show you what to focus on next so you can grow with clarity and confidence.
