Ever dreamt of breaking into the luxury wedding market but felt like it’s an exclusive club with no map? This week, Evie and Lindsey are joined by Manda Worthington, luxury wedding planner and designer, who’s pulling back the curtain on what it really takes to get booked at the top tier — and keep those dream clients coming back for more. Manda doesn’t just plan weddings, she crafts unforgettable, high-touch experiences that are equal parts polished and personal. In this episode, she shares what “luxury” actually means in the wedding world (hint: it’s not just about the budget), and how to position yourself so planners like her want to hire you. We ask Manda about the portfolio and client experience must-haves that make you stand out, why vendor relationships can make or break your bookings, how to communicate your value without feeling pushy or salesy, and so much more! Whether you’re a photographer, florist, caterer, or fellow planner, Manda’s behind-the-scenes insights will help you elevate your brand, price with confidence, and step into spaces you once thought were out of reach.

In this powerful and deeply personal episode of The Heart and Hustle Podcast, your favorite besties get raw and real about one of the most sensitive topics a friend can face: supporting someone through a miscarriage. Whether you’ve been there yourself or simply want to show up well for a friend who’s hurting, we’re giving you the no-BS guide to being the kind of friend who truly cares — from what to say (and definitely NOT say), to how to check in weeks or months later when the rest of the world has moved on. We’ll walk you through thoughtful ways to show up — like remembering their due date, marking Mother’s Day, or dropping dinner at their door without making them decide what they need — and we’ll also call out the phrases and faux pas that can hurt more than help (spoiler: “at least…” has no place here). Plus, we’re sharing how to navigate sharing your own pregnancy news with a friend who’s experienced loss with empathy, tact, and love. Above all, this conversation is a reminder that the most important thing you can do is simply show up — imperfectly, wholeheartedly, and with a heart that says, “I’m here, and I love you.”

Ever wondered what happens when a high school teacher swaps textbooks for a camera and turns weddings into cinematic art? This week on the Heart and Hustle Podcast, Lindsey and Evie sit down with filmmaker, photographer, YouTuber, and all-around creative powerhouse Eric Floberg. Get ready to dive deep into storytelling, sustainability, and diversification as Eric opens up about why he calls them wedding films (not videos) and how intentional language sets the tone for deeper client relationships. He shares his philosophy on storytelling—hint: it involves indie film vibes, fog machines, and capturing raw, unscripted emotion. Eric elaborates on why he had to double his prices (literally) to save his sanity and scale with purpose, and how he’s using his passions (even running!) to open up new creative and financial doors. Whether you're a wedding filmmaker, photographer, or entrepreneur with too many passions and not enough time, this episode will challenge you to go deeper with your craft, rethink your pricing, and explore sustainable paths to creative freedom.
