For Real: Life, Leadership, & Unlearning

293. Functional Freeze: The Silent Threat to Wedding Pros During Busy Season


Listen Later

Today we’re diving into a topic that affects so many of us in the wedding industry: resilience and burnout.

This summer, we shared several episodes on burnout, where I openly discussed my own experience from last year and hitting a wall at the beginning of 2024.  My train was moving 200 miles per hour, and I just couldn’t see a path to slowing down. 

Fortunately, the person who helped me find the brakes joins us today, and she’s sharing her advice to help you restore balance in your life.
