In this episode, we’re asking one simple question: what’s your excuse?

We’re diving into why we default to them so quickly—from “I didn’t have time” to “it’s been crazy” to “the client didn’t respond”—and what’s actually going on underneath. Because most of the time, it’s not about time… it’s about fear, defensiveness, and protecting how we’re perceived.

We get into the psychology behind excuses, how they show up in your work and your relationships, and the subtle ways they make you look less reliable, less trustworthy, and honestly… a little full of shit.

This one’s for you if you’ve ever over-explained, gotten defensive before even responding, or found yourself stuck in the loop of why something didn’t get done instead of figuring out how to move it forward.

We’re breaking down the difference between excuses and explanations, how to interrupt that pattern, and what it actually looks like to take ownership—even when it’s uncomfortable.

In this episode, we’re back—and kicking off a brand new series: Event Business 101 (aka… what the hell were you thinking starting a business?)

We’re diving into the real reasons people start event businesses—from passion and creativity to a little bit of “I can do it better” energy—and what happens when that dream turns into a chaotic, all-consuming beast.

We get into the stuff no one warns you about: being addicted to chaos, avoiding the parts of business you suck at (hi, finances), setting wildly unrealistic goals, and realizing that “work-life balance” might have been a cute little lie you told yourself at the beginning.

This one’s for you if you’ve ever found yourself running a business you didn’t fully plan, winging it harder than you’d like to admit, or wondering why your “dream job” suddenly feels like a full-time stress factory.

We’re breaking down how to actually think about your business—your goals, your habits, your blind spots—and how to start building something that supports your life, not the other way around.

Also… we coined the term chaos bitches, so there’s that.

In this episode, we kick off our Would You Rather series with Colorado planner and Payton of Promise Event Planners—and we go straight for the unhinged side of weddings. We’re talking maid of honor vs. mother of the bride chaos, vendors showing up high vs. not at all, bad DJs vs. bad photographers, 22-person bridal parties, and whether kids actually belong at weddings.

We get into the real talk only event pros understand—family drama that needs a mediator, influencer couples planning weddings for the internet, and why planners low-key operate as therapists with clipboards.

This one’s for you if you’ve ever silently judged a bridal party, clocked a couple’s odds of making it, or wanted to scream “this is not your wedding” at someone in a sequined dress. Hit play and come play Would You Rather with us.
