Let's have an honest conversation about when you're truly ready to step into managing a profitable event planning business. And I mean really ready - not just dreaming about it.

A few shifts have to take place. You should feel ready to serve an exclusive clientele that is willing to honor your fees (even if you are scared). While they can be million dollar events they do not need to be. I think there is a myth out there in the industry that I'd like to debunk. Because while it's nice to design and produce the million and above events, if you are pricing yourself properly you can be extremely profitable when planning a 350k to 500k event.

It's all in your allocation of resources and the business model that you are honoring based on a very specific way of pricing your services. Also the moment you start articulating your value and speaking to the right audience those larger events will be attracted to you naturally. I want you to feel ease not forced during your consultations.

“Money is no object” - is a phrase that often reveals more than it conceals.

In my experience, those who casually dismiss financial considerations frequently lack true financial intelligence and responsibility. They’re what I call ‘mentally broke’ - operating from a mindset of scarcity masked as abundance.

I actively seek to work with clients who demonstrate thoughtful financial management. When someone respects their money and carefully consider investments they understand value and make intentional decisions. - Not to be confused with penny pinchers, please. -

Clients who value their resources tend to:

👉🏽Appreciate the expertise they invest in
👉🏽Honor commitments and timelines
👉🏽Understand the mutual value exchange in professional relationships

The truth is, real wealth isn’t about careless spending - it’s about mindful resource management. Make sure you pay attention during the consultation process. Choose to work with financially conscious clients, don’t be fooled by someone who is flashy or dismissive about large amounts.

I know this to be true: when someone truly respects their money, they’re more likely to respect your time, your expertise, and ultimately, you.

It doesn’t surprise me that everyone who knew is paying tribute to the amazing human he was.

I remember celebrating my birthday at home with an intimate group of friends and and my sis Kesha were one of them. We talked about how we appreciated the sacredness of marriage and how you we were into the “movie kind of love”. Nothing else mattered more than family to him. That is who he was. He carried himself with an admirable quiet confidence and he made everyone feel seen. My boys respect him and they will forever cherish his uplifting kind words anytime they saw each other.

One of the last pieces of advice he gave me was “you can do anything in any room”.

Rest in peace to the biggest superhero teddy bear anyone will ever meet.

Your mindset shapes your reality: Abundance multiplies opportunities, while scarcity subtracts them.

Choose to see possibilities, not limitations. An abundant mindset attracts joy, fostering growth and innovation. Embrace abundance, and watch as doors open, relationships flourish, and potential unfolds before you 💚

Losing money is not fun.

You know where you feel this the most?
When you actually obtain a client that is aligned and you have not done the work to understand what will be needed to service them.

For instance, when seeking for staff, not understanding how to price properly – can lead to you be in the red. It can also unfortunately lead to you not providing the level of service that you really want to provide for your clients. Because of ill pricing techniques you now have to hire less skilled staff – because you do not have the money to pay for the Excellent ones.

You want to be ready and not feel like you are doing something wrong – if you are there now, it’s ok. The great thing is that can make changes if you decide.

Trust in your resilience – you’ll be okay no matter what comes your way. Each choice, each step forward, is a chance to write a new chapter. Embrace change, persist through challenges, and believe in your ability to thrive.

Have a great week!

Appreciate the small victories, these are the tiny steps that are actually giant leaps in disguise.

👉🏽Maybe today you finally sent that email you’ve been putting off.

👉🏽Maybe you sketched out a new design concept.

👉🏽Maybe you sent the proposal you were scared to send.

👉🏽Maybe you just showed up, even when it felt hard.

Guess what? That’s worth celebrating!

Gratitude isn’t just for the big wins. It’s for the everyday moments that shape our journey. It’s about recognizing our own strength, resilience, and capacity to keep moving forward, no matter what.

Things can happen for you today, just lean into faith.

Let’s talk about that hamster wheel feeling. You know the one - where you’re hustling hard, trying ALL the things, but still feel stuck in the same spot? Yeah, I’ve been there too. It’s exhausting, frustrating, and can make you question everything.

Sometimes, the biggest breakthroughs come when we dare to step off that wheel entirely (shall we?)

I know you’ve tried it all. The courses, the coaches, the late nights googling “how to grow my business” (we’ve all been there, right?). But what if the answer isn’t in doing more, but in doing different?

So, here’s my challenge to you: Dare to surprise yourself. Take that leap of faith you’ve been putting off. Pursue that wild dream that seems just out of reach. Yes, it’s scary. Yes, it’s difficult. But darling, that’s where the magic happens.

The most remarkable entrepreneurs aren’t the ones who played it safe. They’re the ones who dared to be different, who trusted their gut, and who had the courage to fail forward.

You’ve got this fire inside you, otherwise you would not be reading this. Fan those flames! Step out on faith. Pursue those goals with everything you’ve got.

Who’s ready to get off the hamster wheel and start building their legacy? Drop a 🚀 in the comments if you’re feeling the heat!

This bar design exemplifies the magic that happens when form and function come together seamlessly in event planning and design.

It’s not just a place to get drinks - it’s an immersive experience that becomes a focal point and conversation starter. That’s the kind of transformative design I’m always aiming to create for my clients. It’s also the kind of design that stems from loving what you do.

When you know better, you do better.

It’s time to REDEFINE.

It’s time to see the advantage in understanding your clients at a deeper level and to know where you stand as it relates to your market.

Ask yourself the hard questions and then take action. What is missing from your arsenal? How can you grow as you go? What can you offer that sets you apart, truly? What can you refine?

Whether you are an event planner or producer, you have the battle scars to prove it and belong in this room.

Creating peaceful, light-filled spaces isn’t just about aesthetics - it’s about cultivating an ecosystem that nurtures productivity and invites positivity. Surround yourself with elements that promote calm and good energy. In doing so, you set the stage for inspiration, focus, and good intentions into your sphere.

Do you know what the most important client meeting of your day is?

It’s with your stomach 🥗🍴
Let’s talk about the fuel that keeps your dreams alive: YOU.

In the in-between of deadlines, kid’s practices, and family dinners, it’s easy to grab whatever’s quick. Every bite is a choice. A choice to nurture or neglect the your temple (body).

Next time you’re reaching for that quick fix, pause. Ask yourself: “Is this loving my body or harming it?”

Remember, you can’t pour from an empty cup. To show up fully for your clients, your kids, your partner - you need to show up for yourself first.

Love yourself enough to make choices that serve you. Because when you thrive, everyone around you wins.

Who’s with me on this self-love journey? Drop a 🥗 if you’re committed to nurturing your body today! You can start today!

Here’s a truth bomb for you: You cannot ascend to higher ground if you keep clutching to a lower level.

Let that sink in for a moment.

In this industry, it’s easy to get comfortable. To stick with what you know, to play it safe with the same old strategies, the same old clients, the same old fees.

But here’s the thing: comfort is the enemy of growth.

IF you want to break into your dream market
IF you want to command those premium fees
IF you want to create events that leave people speechless.

Then you’ve got to let go of what’s holding you back.

Maybe it’s undercharging because you’re afraid to lose clients.

Maybe it’s people-pleasing instead of providing true white-glove service.

Maybe it’s settling for ‘good enough’ instead of striving for extraordinary.

Whatever it is, it’s time to release it. Because when you let go of those lower-level habits and mindsets, you create space for something magical. You open yourself up to new opportunities, higher-caliber clients, and the kind of success you’ve been dreaming of.

Let’s try this: Identify one thing that’s keeping you tied to a lower level. And let. it. go.
Breath and take the first step. ⭐️

Let me tell you about the ultimate power move, the biggest flex of all time: waking up with gratitude.

You know that moment when you first open your eyes? That’s when the magic happens. Before the to-do lists, before the client calls, before the event chaos - that’s when you set the tone for your entire day. Choosing gratitude in that moment? It’s like putting on an invisible crown. 👑

I wake up excited for the wonderful things about to unfold. The challenges that will make me stronger, the clients who trust me with their dreams, the team that brings visions to life - all of it is a gift.

Gratitude isn’t just a feel-good practice. It’s a game-changer for your business and your life. It shifts your energy, attracts abundance, and opens your eyes to opportunities you might have missed.

So here’s your challenge: Tomorrow morning, before you do anything else, list three things you’re grateful for.

Watch how it transforms your day.
Remember, as an entrepreneur, your energy is everything. And gratitude? That’s the ultimate luxury.

What are you grateful for today? Share in the comments and let’s start a gratitude party! 🎉

In the realm of high-profile events, true luxury isn’t shouted—it’s whispered through meticulously curated details. It’s the subtle sophistication in the perfectly timed lighting change, the bespoke calligraphy that tells a story, or the seamless flow of an evening that feels effortless yet extraordinary.

These are the elements that elevate an event from memorable to unforgettable. They speak volumes to those who understand and appreciate the art of refined living.

As we craft these experiences, we’re orchestrating moments that resonate with our client’s souls and ours. It’s about creating an ambiance so attuned to our clients’ vision that it feels like a natural extension of their world.

Remember, in our pursuit of excellence, it’s not about how much we do, but how well we do it. Quality, always over quantity.

What details do you find bring that touch of luxury to your life? Share in the comments below.

Things that make you go hummmmm…

Things that make you go hmmmm…

Let’s talk about a crucial shift: moving from being the task rabbit of your clients to becoming the CEO of your company.

Many of us start in this industry doing everything for our clients. We’re available 24/7, we handle every little detail, we bend over backwards to please. And while that dedication is admirable, it’s not sustainable - or profitable.

Being a CEO means setting boundaries. It means understanding the difference between white glove service and people pleasing. It means valuing your intellectual property and charging accordingly.

As a CEO, you’re not just executing tasks - you’re providing a method, a formula. High-profile clients don’t want to hear about timelines and to-do lists. They want to understand what they’re getting by hiring you.

This shift requires a change in mindset. It requires you to step into rooms confidently, knowing you belong there. It requires you to stop operating from a fight or flight mentality and start moving with ease.

Remember, nobody does it better than you when you show up as you. Life is meant to be lived as you grow and become the highest version of you.

Drop a heart if you agree 💚

Want to know the fastest way to kill a grand vision? Share it with small-minded folks.

Big dreams need big thinkers. I embraced this idea early on in my life and it’s served me well.

Visionaries see beyond the horizon. We imagine what others call impossible. And guess what? That’s part of our superpower.

Remember: Your dreams are yours. Protect them. Nurture them. Share them only with those who fuel your fire, not those who try to extinguish it.

Keep dreaming big. Keep seeing the invisible. And watch as you achieve the impossible.

And just like that, I feel free and empowered!

Season 2 of my PODCAST is here! My tribe knows how much I love to share a good piece of intel.

In this episode, you’ll find out about the importance of incorporating wellness into your business to prevent burnout. I emphasize the need to prioritize what truly matters and to constantly improve oneself.

There’s a breakdown of the six main areas that contribute to business health: basics, brand, sales, pricing, process, and wellness. And of course, I couldn’t leave out the eight dimensions of wellness: intellectual, emotional, financial, physical, occupational, social, environmental, and spiritual.

We need to redefine our success markers so that the journey can make sense to us!

I’m thrilled to share the episode with you! You can listen to it anywhere > Amazon, IHeartradio, Spotify, Player.fm, Deezer, and more!

O hope you enjoy this episode and all the other ones to come!

Design ideas are birthed from a place of gratitude for your skills and confidence in your deliverables.
This confidence is built on a history of successful projects and the continuous honing of one’s craft. It reassures clients by fostering trust and open communication, which are crucial for collaborative creativity. We can’t design alone. Our clients at the marker for our inspiration without their dreams our creativity would not flow. I’m thankful for that. When I design I believe in the quality and effectiveness of my work because I find myself providing solutions that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also functionally superior.
This cycle of gratitude and confidence creates a foundation for our brands and where every project becomes a testament to our dedication and skill.

Cheers to us!

What if YOU invited a new way of thinking?

One that can have a ripple effect, inspiring those around you to adopt a similar outlook. I believe we would witness a surge in collective creativity and aspirations, as we come together to create new opportunities.

The shared belief in our potential would break down any barriers of doubt and fear and would make us a more empowered as a community.

I have zero doubt that by choosing to believe in our limitless possibilities and overcoming our greatest obstacles, we would unlock a future filled with innovation and a deeper sense of purpose.

The great thing about reinvention is that you are not starting from scratch.

Your point of departure is EXPERIENCE.

This means that you are not necessarily changing all parts of you.

You are adding to the best parts of you and eliminating what does not serve you anymore.

Reinvention means that you do the thing that scares the business owners the most, which is LOOK INSIDE.

This is the hardest thing to do because entrepreneurs think that this means that they need to admit failure.

It's not failure, it's called AWARENESS.

A pop of color in an unexpected place is a fantastic ice breaker especially if it’s part of the arrival area.

Adding an arch to an entrance is an easy way to elevate any small entry way. Honor the existent ecosystem by designing something the looks like it lives there and stands out at the same time. We opted for asymmetry to make it softer and more inviting.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I wanted a clean feel but the original outdoor floor landscape at this private residence is pebble rock. Walking on pebbles would have taken away from the guests’ arrival experience so I opted to have flooring installed beginning in the driveway for over 100 feet and then about 60 feet within the side entrance leading into the garden. By adding the turf on top of the sub floor I was able to achieve a cohesive and seamless look.

Our Story

One of the things that I treasure the most is community and relationships. Over the years I've learned that in business no one gets anywhere alone... When we feel like we are the only ones going through the struggle, someone has already been through it. True growth happens when we share ideas, when we are able to uplift others and when we have intentionally let go of our fears.

Last year I decided to share my experiences through private intensives because in the earlier years of my career I wished there would have been someone guiding me through the obstacles. I know exactly how it feels to be completely alone as an entrepreneur.

There were times when I had too many ideas and not enough focus. A little push would have gone a long way . We all know that developing a brand and being an entrepreneur is not easy. It’s takes time, love, respect, and dedication. I polished my craft through hard work, sheer perseverance and by establishing credibility early on with clients regardless of their status. The time has come to create a workshop where I share it all! Everyone deserves to start somewhere. Let’s come together!
