I’ve given you 30 days worth of my thoughts, now I want to read some of yours! Tell me what July taught you.  What are you going into August with? What are you leaving behind? I want to hear from you, so comment below, reach out to me on IG, send me an email if […]

This lesson may be the most simple yet…JUST DO IT when you don’t feel like it when it hurts when you’re alone when you’re surrounded by people when it didn’t work the first time (in this case, just do it again LOL) when they say you can’t when you say you can’t when you can’t […]

Ego is described in the dictionary as a person’s sense of self-esteem or self importance.  Eckhart Tolle describes it as your personal history.  One thing is true of almost all the definitions I’ve found, its all about self.  In event planning and in life in general there will never be a time where anything is […]

This is a honest depiction of what I went through planning the Girl’s Guide To Finding Solutions, so here goes.  Even if you’re not offering retreats or conferences to anyone, have you noticed that its always easier to give advice than to take it?

It’s important that we establish what our audience can expect from our brand early, this is what we call a brand message.  It is even […]

Have you ever heard someone refer to a person as being surrounded by “yes men”? If so, its probably been said with a negative connotation.  As much as it is important to surround yourself with people that support your vision, its equally important to have people around that challenge it as well.  I hate to […]

ALL events should have a budget! When we don’t set budgets we make decision based on emotions and we’ve already learned that sometimes we need a little help training those bad girls! What I realized was that the less money I had to spend the more creative and relatable I became.  In areas I spent too […]

This little gem here saved me about 500 times while planning The Girl’s Guide To Finding Solutions.  What I came to realize by doing the simple task was that it forced me to slow down.  I use to believe that the faster I went, the more I got accomplished.  I quickly came to see that […]
