Events by Emily joins me around The Cookie Table with her holiday cookie staple, kolachy, and some coffee to kick off the day.

Emily is a planning colleague of mine who defines herself as luxury, where myself & the Joyful Events brand does not. But after talking about it - I kind of am?? So we discuss the differences and what that term means when attached to a service. Plus the huge difference between experienced planners vs. those who are still learning and do this as a hobby.

I recently received a text from someone who was referred to me to. This person was looking for a wedding coordinator or should I say, just a breathing body or laborer at their wedding. I dive into how that text convo went.

Mom guilt PLAGUES us every day as we are both "stay at home working moms." What does that look like for us, especially when your kiddo doesn't nap anymore. The ability to be able to work AND stay home with your child is a blessing, but a massive challenge, too.

Other topics we jump into:

• Moving the card box is a liability, but mainly in luxury planning?
• Giving out your cell phone to clients but keeping them on unread
• Personal vs. working time
• We don't all work on the same clock
• The epitome of “this could’ve been an email” 
• and being the main decision maker every second of the day - for our family, children, and even other vendors.
