We're wrapping up 2025 with a big, honest business convo and we feel like this is a perfect episode for all our jabbers to end the year!

In our final episode of the year, we’re sitting down with Loni Peterson of LP Creative Events to talk about multiple revenue streams and why it's good for business. She talks about what actually works, what sounds good on Instagram but flops in real life, and why research + testing matters way more than rushing to launch the next shiny idea.

Loni breaks down how she’s approached adding income streams to her business strategically, without burning out or throwing money at ideas that weren’t ready. We talk through common mistakes wedding planners make when diversifying, how to validate an idea before investing time or cash, and how to think long-term instead of chasing quick wins.

If you’ve ever thought, “I should add another income stream… but I don’t know where to start,” this episode is your permission slip to slow down, get curious, and build smarter.

Key Takeaways:

• Why not every revenue stream is right for every season of business

• How to research and test ideas before fully launching them

• Common traps planners fall into when diversifying income

• What sustainable growth actually looks like behind the scenes

• How to make decisions based on data, not panic or comparison

Whether you’re planning for 2026, feeling the slow-season spiral, or just craving a smarter way to grow, this one’s for you. Plus Loni is a professor at CU Boulder and has a lot of wisdom and insights to share. So listen up class!

Hey Jabbers! This week Gabby and Kari are chatting about slow seasons in our business. Look, slow season gets a bad rap, but it’s actually one of the most valuable chapters in your wedding planning business every year.

In this episode, we unpack the mindset shifts that help you move from panic to intentionality when inquiries slow down. Instead of assuming something is “wrong,” we talk through the backend tasks that finally get breathing room, systems, workflows, templates, boundaries, and all the unsexy-but-essential things that make busy season easier.

We also get real about rest: why it is productive, why hobbies make you a better planner, and why outsourcing isn’t a weakness, it’s a strategic choice. Slow season is also a chance to check in with yourself and pivot toward what actually feels aligned in your business, whether that’s changing your packages, refining your niche, or letting go of offerings that no longer fit. Kari dives into how she's figuring out a business pivot even without having full clarity.

If you’ve ever spiraled during quiet months, this episode will help you feel grounded, supported, and clear on what really matters and hopefully make you feel less alone in these tough seasons.

Enjoy!

We're diving into some topics that have been on our minds:

• The glamorously unglamorous truth about steaming linens and if planners actually do this or not
• And the growing trend of side gigs for wedding vendors. I mean we need to diversify our income!

Whether you’re a planner, florist, photographer, or creative entrepreneur, this one’s packed with relatable moments, laughs, and our unfiltered thoughts. So tune in for the unfiltered truth, mild chaos, and your weekly dose of Just Another Biz Podcast real talk.
