A Rebrand. A six-day shoot. A national conference I somehow agreed to run. A move I forgot happened. This week on Persephone Says, we do a little catch up on what it actually looks like to run on overdrive — the good, the unsustainable, and the "ask me again in a week" honesty in between.

Do you like these types of episodes? Let me know below in the comments.

She fled cartel violence at 18 with nothing but a suitcase, taught herself a craft nobody was talking about, and built a luxury business that changed an entire industry. But the real story? What happened after the explosive growth.

My beautiful friend, Andrea Cole of DB Andrea sits down with me for the most unfiltered conversation yet — and we hold nothing back. From running a 15-person operation out of her living room to buying a whole-ass building, Andrea rode the wave hard. She shares her brilliance in building a very successful floral preservation business and what she's learned the hard way.

This is part of 2 - make sure you listen to part 1 on Andrea's podcast - The Bridal Club.

A wedding industry emergency episode. Today I break down my thoughts on Vogue's viral "real budgets" article, why it missed the mark. Most importantly, we discuss why vendors need to stop airing industry grievances publicly and start owning the narrative themselves.

One of the most vulnerable episodes - we are back with my husband, partner in all the ways - Eddie Maglaya. This week we celebrated 18 years together and 14 years married and we get really vulnerable. We cover off on:

Happy anniversary to my favorite person — let's get into it.

Eduardo is back on Persephone Says, and we're getting into all of it — why we finally rebranded, what took so long, and why our old website was honestly embarrassing. We talk about evolving as founders, letting go of control, shifting away from social media as our core offering, and why we're calling ourselves a media house now. Plus: AI, merch, and what the next chapter looks like for TMS.

This one is for the girlies and the gays... Today I am spilling all my beauty secrets — no filter, no shame.

Stop cross-posting. Stop celebrating viral moments with zero inquiries to show for it. And for the love of god, stop calling it a strategy.

In this episode, I'm in full Professor P mode — stats, hot takes, and zero patience for wedding professionals who are showing up on TikTok and Instagram the exact same way. Spoiler: they are not the same app, they are not the same audience, and they are not doing the same job for your business.

This is your Instagram vs. TikTok 2026 masterclass — personality-first content, platform-specific strategy, and a clear path from scroll to inquiry. Pencils out.

Everyone's doing the same thing — and it's costing you the right clients.

Copycat culture in the wedding industry isn't new, but it's getting worse — and most people don't want to talk about why. In this episode, we're getting into the algorithm trap, the brand strategy void, and what it actually costs you when your content starts looking like everyone else's.

Spoiler: it's not just bookings. It's the right bookings.

We break down why copying is rooted in fear, how to audit what makes you genuinely different, and the content moves that are actually cutting through the noise in 2026.

I dare you not to fall in love with Manda of Mae + Co Creative.

Manda Worthington - Founder + Owner of Mae&Co Creative and Mae&Co Monthly is the opposite of a gatekeeper. In this episode, we dig into:

- How she built a destination-based wedding planning business and building her own industry playbook.

- We talk about the viral moment that nearly took her business down and how she managed through it

- Why growing too fast is more dangerous than growing too slow

- Her unfiltered take on publications, "best of" lists, and the photographer networking energy that needs to stop.

- Plus: the launch of the first-ever Mae&Co Monthly retreat and why her education community has become one of the most trusted in the wedding space.

I am so excited for you to meet my new friend, Manda.

Have you ever booked the client, landed the opportunity, got the yes — and your very first reaction was panic? Not excitement. Panic. Today we are talking about imposter syndrome and most importantly how we are going to talk through and work through it, together. Okay?

I share the moments it's hit me personally, why some of the most successful people I know behind closed doors are fighting the same battle, and the actual tools I use to push through it.

If you've ever shrunk yourself in a room, given away credit that was yours to keep, or convinced yourself your success was just good timing — this one's for you.
