Hey Jabbers! In today's minisode, we’re spilling the tea on a side of the wedding industry no one talks about, burnout and how it might be driving wedding planners to rethink their career path. We’re diving into what happens when planners and vendors get pushed past their limits, why boundaries are extremely important, and the difference between delivering an incredible client experience and being treated like a personal assistant. From clear communication to knowing when going above and beyond is worth it (and when it’s not), this is a must-listen for anyone in the wedding world and for couples who want to keep their vendors happy, motivated, and in love with their work. We're all happier when we have boundaries in place and we continue to love what we do. We hope you enjoy this episode and we'll see ya next time, Jabbers!

We’re halfway through the year, so it’s time for a real talk reset. In this episode, Gabby and Kari sit down for a midyear check-in to reflect on what’s working, what’s not, and what we’re manifesting moving forward.
We’re sharing:
-
The wins we’re celebrating (even the small ones!)
-
The lessons and lows we didn’t see coming
-
Big shifts in our business and the boundaries we’re setting
-
What we’re letting go of to make space for what’s next
If you’ve been feeling the pull to pause, reassess, or realign, this one’s for you. It’s okay to change your mind. It’s okay to pivot. And it’s definitely okay to protect your peace. But we're encouraging you to change things around if you need to, we got 6 more months left in 2025!
