217 | The Stuff My Students Are Building With AI That's Lowkey Blowing My Mind30 Jun 202600:24:15

Something has been happening inside my programs lately that makes my week every single time I see it. The women I coach have stopped dabbling in AI for wedding pros and started building with it. What they're creating is blowing my mind! We're not talking about using AI to write captions or generate a few content ideas. We're talking about actual tools that go off and do the work for them while they're living their lives and focusing on the things that matter most.

On this episode of The Power in Purpose Podcast:

  • [04:16]: What you need to understand before using AI for wedding pros

  • [05:52]: The first way I'm seeing wedding pros use AI

  • [10:55]: The second way I'm seeing wedding pros use AI

  • [15:09]: The third way I'm seeing wedding pros use AI

197 | Why More Bookings Won't Fix Your Money Stress — and What Will07 Oct 202500:52:30

In today's episode, I'm sitting down with Erinn, someone I've admired for the clarity and confidence she brings to the money conversation in our industry. As wedding pros, it's so easy to get caught up in the work we love (serving clients, designing, planning), but at the same time, we can sometimes avoid the financial side of things. That's why I wanted to bring Erinn on: to help us reframe how we think about paying ourselves and building long-term wealth. Because more wedding bookings won't fix your money stress... but let's talk about what will.

In this episode:

  • [00:00]: The Broken Money System

  • [03:10]: From Photographer to Real Estate Investor

  • [05:54]: Understanding Money Mindset

  • [08:47]: The Role of Real Estate in Wealth Building

  • [12:07]: Women and Money: Historical Context

  • [14:57]: Overcoming Money Avoidance

  • [17:49]: Taking Control of Your Finances

  • [21:04]: The Entrepreneurial Advantage in Money Management

  • [23:50]: Connecting Energy and Money

  • [26:11]: Transforming Money Mindset for Sustainability

  • [30:22]: The Role of Bookkeepers and Accountants

  • [32:47]: Prioritizing Your Pay: The Mindset Shift

  • [39:58]: Understanding Revenue vs. Profitability

  • [43:47]: Masterclass Invitation: The Wedding Pro Profit Blueprint

Erinn and I are teaming up to host a completely free masterclass for my podcast community, and I couldn't be more excited about it. It's called The Wedding Pro Profit Blueprint, and it's designed specifically for wedding pros who want to pay themselves consistently and create real wealth through their businesses.

186 | The Mindset Shift That Luxury Clients Can Feel (This Will Keep You Stuck!)10 Jun 202500:29:27

In this episode, I'm coming in hot with a little bit of a shank and a cuddle — because friend, we need to talk about the energy you're bringing into your business right now.

If you're feeling stuck, plateaued, or wondering why you aren't breaking into that next level of luxury, it might not be your pricing, your portfolio, or your marketing funnel. It's likely your mindset. And yes — your clients can feel it.

Luxury clients are making decisions based not just on your work, but on your confidence, your leadership, and your ability to hold space for their high-level expectations. If you're playing small, dimming your light, or second-guessing your worth — it's costing you opportunities.

On this episode of The Power in Purpose Podcast:

  • [00:00]: Introduction to Boldness in Business

  • [03:00]: The Importance of Boldness in the Wedding Industry

  • [05:52]: Reconnecting with Your Audacious Self

183 | Will Tariffs Raise Wedding Costs? What Every Vendor Needs to Know15 Apr 202501:24:52

Will tariffs raise wedding costs? Today's episode is unlike any we've done before. We've got a bit of an emergency brewing in the wedding industry, and I felt compelled to hop on the mic and break it all down with someone who really knows what's going on behind the scenes: my husband, Jason.

I somehow convinced him to join me (first time ever!) and share his deep expertise in shipping, logistics, and global trade. Because here's the deal — new tariffs are being applied across nearly all imported goods, and it's not just "big business" that's feeling the pressure. This is hitting florists, planners, rental companies, caterers — all of us. Hard. It's time we talk about it.

On this episode of The Power in Purpose Podcast:

  • [00:00]: Understanding Tariffs and Their Impact on the Wedding Industry

  • [11:01]: The New Era of Business and Taxation

  • [21:46]: The Mechanics of Tariffs: What You Need to Know

  • [33:51]: Navigating Price Increases and Supply Chain Disruptions

  • [42:23]: Managing Client Expectations in a Changing Market

  • [48:09]: Navigating Cost Fluctuations in the Wedding Industry

  • [51:22]: Impact of Supply Chain Disruptions on Wedding Attire

  • [55:28]: Understanding the Broader Implications of Supply Chain Issues

  • [01:01:04]: The Importance of Supporting Local Businesses

  • [01:11:26]: Maintaining Client Trust Amid Budget Changes
