If you struggle with hustle culture and work life balance, this episode about slowing down to grow a sustainable, joyful business is game-changing for anyone in the wedding industry.

In this episode, I sit down with Megan Gillikin, wedding pro, educator, speaker, and host of the Weddings for Real podcast. Megan shares her journey from working in hospitality to owning a thriving wedding planning business and eventually becoming a full-time wedding industry educator.

In this episode:

• Megan’s unexpected start in the wedding industry, including buying her first business just weeks after her own wedding.

• The personal connections that make wedding work so rewarding.

• Why burnout is so common for wedding professionals and how to recognize the signs.

• Practical strategies to set boundaries, prioritize rest, and rediscover joy in your work.

• The importance of running your business like it’s sellable—even if you don’t plan to sell.
