Have you ever stopped mid-week and asked yourself, “Am I running a business… or quietly building a burnout factory?”

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the real reason so many wedding pros end up exhausted, resentful, and constantly “on”—and why it has far less to do with workload and far more to do with the systems (or lack of systems) holding your business together. I share my own behind-the-scenes stories of overworking, blurred boundaries, and the moments that made me realize something had to change.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• The subtle habit that reveals you're “always on” without realizing it
• Why repeating the same tasks is silently draining your time and energy
• A key mindset shift that stops reactive chaos in its tracks
• The surprising boundary most wedding pros forget to set—and why it matters
• How to identify your personal “how I work best” blueprint
• The overlooked system that frees up your brain more than any app

Have you ever felt like your pricing is a total guessing game—and worried you’re getting it all wrong? In this episode, I’m diving deep into one of the most uncomfortable yet important parts of running a creative business: pricing with intention instead of emotion. I share why pricing truly is a system, not a shot-in-the-dark, and how to build a structure that supports your lifestyle, your values, your expertise, and the actual time and energy you put into your work.

I walk you through how to calculate your real hourly rate, how to factor in taxes, tools, education, and back-end hours, and how to avoid the resentment trap so many wedding pros fall into. I also break down my own wedding management packages and explain how I think about tiered offerings vs. custom quotes. If you’ve been undercharging, second-guessing, or comparing yourself to competitors, this episode will give you the clarity and confidence you’ve been missing.
