The Other Four-Letter Word: Corporate Events (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Corporate events might be the most whispered-about side of the wedding industry. So many of us do them, but hardly anyone talks about them openly. In this quick "snack" episode, why I see corporate work as an incubator for creativity, a space where I can test new ideas before bringing them to someone's once-in-a-lifetime day. I also get into how different brands handle the mix, from keeping it quietly in-house to building a separate brand within the brand, and why I think it's time we break the
Adapting Communication Styles For Our Clients (opens the original)
Read excerpt
*This one is for our couples* On this episode, I dig into how my process has evolved to meet clients where they are, recognizing that every couple communicates, processes decisions, and handles the overwhelming flood of wedding inspiration (hello, Pinterest and Instagram algorithms) in totally different ways.

In this episode I talk about why testing my new team on high stakes, low budget passion projects has turned into the best kind of design bootcamp, and I tell you the story of WIPA weekend. A tent, 110 degree Texas heat, a missing lead technician, and a gut instinct that told me to keep one of my team members off the conference floor
The Bridge Episode (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Friends we couldn't jump from two heavy mind episodes to talking about the latest in 2027 wedding trends, so consider this your bridge episode. We've been pulling back the curtain and today, it all comes to a head. This episode is different. It's raw, it's messy, and it's the one I've been building up to for a year. I talk about what it feels like to let go of a story I've held onto my entire life the shame, the fear, the anticipation of finally saying it out loud in front of hundreds of people
