Welcome to The Legal Paige Podcast, Era 2.0! 

After taking a little hiatus from the podcast (because it simply didn’t feel aligned) I’m back with a CLEAR vision on what I want for this podcast moving forward. The gist? While I love love love sharing legal content,  I also want to share a bit more about my business mindset, CEO mindset, and business tips + tricks. A decade into this gig and I have some wisdom, failures, and successes that will be helpful for others to learn from! 

In this episode, I give an unfiltered update on all the things happening in my life both personally + professionally.  Press play and you’ll get a glimpse into:

• How maternity leave really went
• The lessons I learned from trying to execute 2 big launches in less than a month
• The 6 new job titles I’m adding to my team
• The area of my business I’m managing for the first time in years,
• How I’m prioritizing health and friendships during a particularly busy season of life

If I can ask anything from you, it’d be to go give it a listen and write a review with your feedback. As I bring the podcast back to life, I’d love to know what resonated with you + what you’d like to learn about in the upcoming episodes.

We're diving into a topic that sometimes is a bit uncomfortable, but it's truly essential for your business's financial, legal, and customer health. 

Specifically,  how slow sales or taking sales back might be affecting your bottom line and what you can do about it legally. As business owners, we do often put our clients' needs before our own, sometimes to the detriment of our own financial well-being. But here is the hard truth... Your money is just as important as your clients' money, and it is not greedy to prioritize your own bottom line! Especially  in challenging economic times like we have right now.

In episode 166 of The Legal Paige Podcast, I am tackling a question straight from The Legal Paige Facebook Community. We dive into the what you should know about cooling off periods, no downgrades language in your contract, and chargeback fraud!

Tune into Episode 166, I will provide insight into this essential conversation, that may be uncomfortable but is nonetheless essential for every single business owner. Because over here at The Legal Paige I want to empower you both legally and within your business to operate as a smart, forward-thinking, and legal business owner! And if you want more helpful business advice as you’ll hear on the podcast, be sure to join The Legal Paige Facebook Community where thousands of entrepreneurs just like you are getting real-time answers about running a professionally and legally legit business.

As a forward-thinking entrepreneur, it's only natural to think about and somewhat start planning for the future of your business.

We plan out where we see ourselves in 3, 5, and even 10 years from now. If we are thinking of starting a family, a major life event, or a move… We often start planning ahead so we can find the help we will need to keep our business running smoothly, what personal to-do’s we can assign to someone else, and more.

Now, as dark as this sounds, we also need to plan on if something unfortunate happens to us and we are not here to run our business. This is beyond the temporary situations of getting sick, a small injury, or personal emergency. I am talking about answering the question, “What happens to my business if I die?". 

In episode 165 of The Legal Paige Podcast,  I share why it is so critical to plan on who inherits our business’s management, how our clients and current contracts will be handled, who has access to bank accounts and online platforms, and various ways to protect ourselves and our business from such an unimaginable (but definitely possible) situation.

Today's episode is focused squarely on the world of wedding planners and vendors. Specifically  why, in most cases, legally speaking planners might want to hit the brakes on signing those vendor contracts on behalf of their clients.


Yep, you guessed it—there are some serious legal angles to consider! Legal liability and risk management being the key one.

Ever had clients raising eyebrows over a certain clause? We've got you covered.
Curious about who should be adding their John Hancock to that model release? (Think here both parents in a family photo shoot or only one?!)


In episode 164 of The Legal Paige Podcast, we share why strongly advise against ever signing on your client's behalf. The lines of who the client is and who is liable to the vendors if the worst happens (think cancellation or rescheduling, or a natural disaster, or someone gets injured or hurt) becomes blurry. You do not want to be stuck in a situation where you are fighting with your clients AND event vendors on who is liable if/when the worst happens. In legal terms, this is called ‘joint and several liability’ and we are trying to help you avoid being on the hook for those sticky situations.
