Episode 4: Signed, I Lost More Than a Partnership 👀📖

The diary is back open… and this one started with a business connection but ended with a whole lot more being lost. 😭🎈

For this diary entry, a balloon artist writes in about being introduced to a bounce house company. What started as a business partnership eventually grew into a genuine friendship. She even began sharing her knowledge, showing the bounce house owner how to install balloons for smaller orders or situations where delivery wasn't an option.

But then things took a turn. 👀

The bounce house company started offering its OWN balloon services… behind her back. 😳

What happens when a business connection turns into a friendship, only for that person to become your competition? Where do you draw the line between helping another business and protecting your own? And what happens when the relationship you've built goes beyond business?

Jazmin and Whitney are getting into ALL of it: how the partnership began, the friendship that developed, the knowledge shared, the unexpected competition, and the fallout that left this balloon artist questioning more than just a business relationship. 👀

Because sometimes, when a partnership falls apart, it's not the business you miss the most. 💔

Episode 3: Signed, The NDA I Didn’t See Coming 👀📖

The diary is back open… and apparently we’re signing paperwork now. 😭✍🏽

For this diary entry, a balloon artist writes about paying to attend a workshop she was excited about… only to arrive and be handed an NDA she had NO idea she would be expected to sign. 😳

And unfortunately, the NDA was only the beginning.

What happens when you invest your money into a workshop and the experience isn’t what you expected? Should students know about an NDA before they pay? And how far is too far when it comes to protecting what you teach?

Jazmin and Whitney are getting into ALL of it: the unexpected NDA, the workshop experience, unmet expectations, what happened afterward, and the legal threats that took this story to an entirely different level. 👀

Because imagine showing up ready to learn and finding out there are terms and conditions you didn’t see coming. 😭

The diary is back open… but this time, we’re switching things up. 👀💕

For this bonus episode, there’s no anonymous diary entry. Instead, we’re putting Jazmin and Whitney in the hot seat so you can get to know the women behind the mics.

We’re talking about how we got into the balloon industry, how long we’ve been in business, a little about our lives outside of balloons, and all the random things that make us us. 😂

Because if we’re going to sit here every week reading your anonymous stories, giving our opinions, and getting into all the balloon business tea… you might as well know who you’re telling your business to. 😭👀

So consider this our official introduction before we get back to your regularly scheduled diary entries. 🎙️

The diary is back open… and this one is every balloon artist’s WORST nightmare. 😭👀

For this diary entry, a balloon artist writes in about being hired to create a balloon drop for a big event. Everything was planned, everything was in place, and when the moment finally came for the balloons to drop… they didn’t. 😳

So what do you do when an install doesn’t go according to plan in front of a room full of people? How do you handle the client, the pressure, and the aftermath when something completely out of your control goes wrong?

Jazmin and Whitney are getting into ALL of it: what went wrong, how they would’ve handled it, what you do when a setup fails in real time, and whether the balloon artist could have done anything differently. 👀

Because sometimes in this business… the balloons aren’t the only thing that can drop. 😭

The Balloon Drop That Didn’t 🎈✍🏽

The diary is officially OPEN… and y’all wasted no time getting messy. 👀

For our very first diary entry, a balloon artist writes in about bringing on an assistant, pouring time into teaching her the business, showing her the ropes, and trusting her as part of the team… only for that assistant to turn around and start a balloon business of her own.

So where’s the line between training your team and training your competition? And when someone learns the business while working under you, do they owe you anything when they decide to branch out on their own?

Jazmin and Whitney are getting into ALL of it—the betrayal, the business side, what they would have done differently, and whether the assistant was actually wrong. 👀
