Hey Jabbers!
We're back this week with an episode chatting all about brides taking to TikTok to leave reviews or complain about the wedding industry and the so called "price gouging" and how it kind of feels like the new Yelp for vendors. We're sharing our honest thoughts on why brides are complaining, what's appropriate and not appropriate and how as vendors we can respond. Also, talking about ways that we can just avoid getting a video made on TikTok about our services. If you're living up to the services contracted for and going above and beyond, you're doing great! But if you're not providing the services that you contracted to your client, it might be time to step it up. Lastly, don't let potential clients complaining about pricing make you nervous and then you reduce your pricing, stay strong Jabbers, you know what you're worth!
Chime in and tell us your thoughts! Thanks for being here Jabbers!

Ep. 70: Child-Free Wedding Etiquette: How to Set Boundaries Without the Drama
Thursday May 21, 2026
Thursday May 21, 2026
Hey Jabbers! This week we're chatting all about the proper etiqette of inviting kids to a wedding or not and our honest thoughts and advice on how to handle the situation on both ends.
Kids at weddings can be a cute photo op or it might be guaranteed chaos? We're chatting about child-free weddings, family expectations, RSVP confusion, couples and guests being offended, and why this topic somehow becomes everyone’s strongest opinion overnight.
We’re talking about how couples can communicate their wishes clearly without sounding harsh, what guests should not assume when it comes to bringing their children, and how you can respond to this from both sides. Whether you’re planning a fully kid-friendly wedding or setting firm “adults only” boundaries, this conversation is all about navigating it with respect (and maybe a little less family drama). Thanks for being here and we hope you find this episode helpful!

Ep. 67: Why Vendor Collaboration Makes or Breaks a Wedding Day
Thursday Apr 30, 2026
Thursday Apr 30, 2026
If you’ve ever been on a wedding day where the vibe between vendors felt… off, you already know: it can make or break the entire experience.
In this episode of Just Another Biz Podcast, we’re talking about vendor collaboration and what it actually looks like behind the scenes, why it matters more than people think, and how it directly impacts your couples (and your sanity). Because a “dream team” isn’t just about a stacked vendor list, it’s about how well everyone communicates, supports each other, and shows up on the day.
Kari is sharing a real-life wedding fiasco that turned out perfectly in the end all because the team of vendors came together to make it happen! Whether you’re a newer wedding pro or deep in your wedding season era, this is your reminder that you’re not doing this alone and you shouldn’t have to. Remember, we're all in this together to make this day special for our couples, this isn't a solo gig. Team work is everything!
We'd love to hear your vendor collaboration stories! DM us on socials!

Ep. 64: Using Astrology to Make Better Business Decisions with KJ Atlas
Thursday Apr 09, 2026
Thursday Apr 09, 2026
What if your birth chart could actually help you run your business?
In this episode, we’re sitting down with consulting astrologer KJ Atlas to talk about the intersection of astrology and entrepreneurship and how it can be used as a practical tool, not just a personality test. We get into how astrology works, why it’s more about patterns and timing than predictions, and how understanding your chart can help you make more aligned decisions in your business.
A little about KJ. KJ Atlas is a certified consulting astrologer and astrocartographer based in Southern California. She works primarily with celebrity, entrepreneurial, and corporate clients, offering expertise in business and travel advice, relationship compatibility, and lifestyle strategy. KJ blends ancient astrology with her background in behavioral health, psychology, and organizational strategy for Fortune 50 companies to provide personalized, transformative guidance to her thousands of clients. With over 13 years of experience, KJ studied and graduated from the Portland School of Astrology and holds a Bachelor of Science in Public Health from East Carolina University. She is known for her comforting and friendly demeanor, stunningly accurate predictions, and fun analogies that make complex astrology easy to understand.
KJ also breaks down astrocartography (aka how different locations impact your energy and opportunities) and how your chart can reveal the kind of work, environment, and pace you’re actually meant for. If you’ve been feeling off, stuck, or like your business doesn’t quite fit you anymore, this conversation might give you a whole new way to look at it. Trust us, this is an episode you don't want to miss!

Ep. 63: How To Reinvent Yourself Without Losing Your Identity with Liza Spirit
Wednesday Apr 08, 2026
Wednesday Apr 08, 2026
Hey Jabbers! On today's episode, we are chatting with Liza Spirit. Liza is a spiritual mentor, educator, and day trader whose work bridges the gap between inner alignment and real-world success. She helps people integrate spirituality, psychology, and financial growth to create a life that feels both meaningful and abundant.
Throughout her life, Liza has reinvented herself multiple times, changing career paths more than four times in pursuit of work that truly fulfills her and allows her to reach her full potential. Her journey reflects a powerful message: you don’t have to choose just one identity to succeed.
With over a decade of meditation practice, spirituality, and a background in communications and educational psychology, Liza teaches that success comes from alignment rather than fitting into societal labels. Through her mentorship, trading education, and spiritual guidance tools like numerology and meditation, she empowers people to embrace all parts of who they are and build a path that reflects their true selves.
Her philosophy is simple: when you master your inner world, your outer world begins to transform.
Reinventing yourself can feel exciting… and also deeply uncomfortable, especially when you’re worried about losing the parts of you that got you here in the first place.
In this episode, Kari and Gabby sit down with Liza to talk about what it actually looks like to evolve your business and identity without abandoning who you are. Liza shares her personal journey of blending spirituality, finance, and personal growth and how she navigated big shifts without starting from scratch or burning everything down.
If you’ve been feeling the pull to pivot, raise your prices, change your niche, or simply do things differently, this conversation will help you trust yourself through the process. We’re getting into alignment, identity, and the real-life practices that support growth that feels both grounded and expansive.
If this episode hit home, share it with a fellow wedding pro who’s in their “pivot era.” And as always, come hang with us on Instagram for more real talk and behind-the-scenes.

Ep. 62: Pricing Transparency: Should You Put Your Rates on Your Website?
Thursday Mar 26, 2026
Thursday Mar 26, 2026
Hey Jabbers! In this week’s episode of Just Another Biz Podcast, we’re diving into the very real (and very debated) topic of pricing transparency in the wedding industry. However, there is a twist: Gabby and Kari don’t actually do it the same way.
One of us shares pricing openly on their website, while the other has intentionally moved away from it. And honestly? We both have solid reasons.
In this conversation, we’re breaking down what led us to these decisions, how it might impact our inquiries and bookings, and what we're learned about client behavior along the way. Because the truth is, pricing transparency isn’t one-size-fits-all, it’s about aligning your strategy with your business, your market, and the kind of clients you want to attract.
If you’ve been going back and forth on whether to list your pricing (or you’re thinking about changing your approach), this episode will give you a behind-the-scenes look at what it actually looks like in practice.
Key Takeaways:
- Why one of us keeps pricing on our website and how it helps pre-qualify inquiries
- Why the other removed pricing and what she's seeing now
- The pros and cons of both approaches based on real experience (not just theory)
- How pricing visibility affects client trust, expectations, and inquiry quality
- Different ways to share pricing without locking yourself into one rigid structure
- Questions to ask yourself before deciding what’s right for your business
We know there is a lot of debate around this topic and we do think a starting price point is helpful for potential clients and budgeting information listed on your website so no one is wasting their time on either end. However, we'd love to hear from you! What do you do and why? Shoot us a message or DM and give us the insights on pricing transparency for you!
