Welcome to the first minisode ever! I really missed the weekly episode format, so to keep that up, I’ll be publishing a minisode in between the big business focused eps to hopefully make you laugh, and kill 20 mins while you drive somewhere, walk your dog, or do laundry.

Welcome back! Ep. 37 is all about how I went on a ten day European vacation during peak wedding season, and some steps you can take to do it too. Cheers!

Lead planner Emily Haas is on the pod today! We talk about how she directed her first #dayofpgh wedding with just 5 days notice, her least fav setup task (lol it's place cards), and why the morning of her wedding day literally made history.

Today's plus-one (and OG #dayofpgh lead planner!!!) Katie talks about how never intended to get into the wedding biz, why the speeches are her favorite wedding day moment, and the #1 thing a vendor can do to make our job easier day of. Katie and Heather's interview is live today, we hope you love it!

Voted Most Likely to Micromanage Your Room Flip, this week is all about lead planner Lindsey! Fun fact, she's ALSO a 2023 #dayofpgh BRIDE and we're stoked about iiiiiit!

It's been a minute, and I wanted to start season 4 with a little Eat, Pray, Love for the wedding vendor soul lmao siiike it's just 30 minutes of me rambling about my 2022 wedding season, #dayofpghprom, and why I need a social life. ENJOY!

What's it like to be a custom wedding jewelry designer? Ep. 29 takes a deep dive into all things engagement rings with my good friend, Day of Pgh BRIDE, and talented AF Samantha Skelton of @skeltonjewelry.

Ever wonder what it’s like for the artist behind all of your save the dates, invitations, wax seals, signage, and wedding day design? I got to interview my good friend and the wedding creative who started Oh Joyful Day, and my conversation with Victoria is as real as it gets.

To all of those husbands, wives, and partners of crazy wedding creatives...I see you!
I interviewed my husband Andy for the season 3 premiere and he comes off way better than I do. Enjoy!

This week was dominated by the daunting tasking of building the new Day of Pittsburgh website, so I’m sharing the top 5 lessons I learned during my second rebrand!

As December hit, I started making a mental to-do list of everything I wanted to spend time on in the month this month order to kick off 2022 fully focused and aware of the goals I want to hit. These reflections might help you create some structure in the winter months as weddings wind down. So, here ya go!

If you get challenged in the best way by this FREE fuckin’ podcast I create every other week, or you’ve been inspired to start something new, or found what I say helpful or applicable in your business...

…Imagine the shit we could get into one on one.

Digital strategist and One Direction superfan Hannah Dougherty swings by the pod to share everything she knows about how to win at social media!

I was trying to brainstorm today’s topic, and I feel like i’ve been taking on some really serious business stuff this season, and I’m kind of over it.

I’d rather just laugh and share a few funny stories. SO THAT’S WHAT I’M GUNNA DO!

I was going to title this episode ‘How to Avoid Wedding Burnout,’ but that would be a huge lie. The burnout is already here, there’s no avoiding it. We have to learn to perform through it, because our fall season depends on it.

So let’s all just admit it: We are burnt out. We are not at our best, but we are not done. Here’s what to do with your wedding burnout, and how to manage it.

There’s A TON of conflict you’ll face as you launch your biz, and even if you were in the wedding industry at your full time job, it’s another ball game when its all yours. Nothing can truly prepare you for it, but this episode is everything I wish I knew when I launched my wedding business!

Today is all about how I found my niche in business, and ways you can discover yours!

I bet you think this podcast’s about you, don’t you?

It’s no surprise to me I am my own worst enemy <3

You know I love a good theme…

Grab your Spanx.

HELLO MARCH. *laughs nervously*

I cannot believe we’re here again, and I debated if I wanted to talk about this past year, or acknowledge it at all. Between March 2020 and December 2020, I wrote 44 blog posts. In today’s episode, I use them to turn back to the clock and share exactly what I was thinking and feeling when shit went sideways one year ago.

Had a little fun with episode 12 and went trolling on r/weddingplanning to dish out some professional advice to internet strangers!
