Welcome Rebecca Harold of Margaret James Photography & Video, and Rewind the Moment to the podcast!

This week is all about living in nostalgia and how Rebecca and I align so heavily on family - which makes her new business the perfect bridge to my new business, too.

Outside of the camcorder trend, I pick Rebecca's brain about if wedding planners make her life easier or not as a photographer, and pose an interesting question that was presented to me by another friendor.

Ending with an exciting announcement of how we're bringing the two together for Joyful Commons' grand opening party!

I am so grateful to have my right hand girlie, Desireé, join me around The Cookie Table. This is her third season with Joyful Events by Jade, and her growth has been exponential. Listen to this week's episode to get to know why I adore this woman so much and to see what's next for her within the Joyful Family.

As we near the end of one of our busiest months with Joyful Events by Jade, I am ending June with another Baking Break to discuss how even after being a business owner of almost 7 years, I still feel like the people closest to me don't fully get it. Are you a first generation business owner in your family? Then you may be feeling the same.

It's time to finally pull back the curtain to my newest endeavor. No this is not the end of Joyful Events by Jade, but the start of something entirely new to Pittsburgh that my heart speaks strongly to. Where did the inspiration come from? Take a listen, and if you're a fellow parent-entrepreneur, know that you are not alone.

Just like in any industry, your eyes begin to open a little wider as the years go on and the deeper in you get. Sometimes it just takes one big circumstance to happen to you for your eyes to widen even more. For me, it was a failed vendor event.

This episode I tell the story of what exactly happened, and despite the frustrations and disappointment, why I feel it actually all happened for a reason.

I popped the Prosecco with Heather Davis of Heather Davis Inc. and CEO of Day Of Pittsburgh on this week's episode, and I am honored to be the platform she chose to walk us through her story.

From her days as a nomad, to settling in Pittsburgh, non-profit life, launching a wedding planning company solely based on day-of coordination, her first attempt at her coaching business with her "power suit" persona, all lead her to this new era that she's currently entering. My direct questions regarding her past persona were met with honest, vulnerable answers, and the vibes were vibin - a great conversation (& announcement) that you don't want to miss.

If this episode spoke to you about where you want to go next with your business, follow Heather and be sure to stay tuned for her brand new podcast : Work Out Loud.

I am beyond grateful to have my wonderful husband, Jason, join me on this week's episode of The Cookie Table. This cutie patootie even baked his own cookies!

Over a crisp Spoonwood Brewing Cold City Drip Coffee Blonde Ale, we dove deep into what life is like juggling a toddler, our separate businesses, aspirations, and time for each other.

My most vulnerable episode yet - I'm just thankful you're here and you're listening.

Fresh off a stellar rebrand, I am honored to have my favorite sister duo & fellow planning colleagues, Wanderlust Weddings & Events, join me around The Cookie Table for some heavy planner talk!

Ali & Sam have always resonated with me on a personal level because we have a lot of the same principals when it comes to this industry. So of course, we dive deep into:

• Growing a planning team to be able to have a full time employ
• Charging extra for rehearsal coordination or to set up a cookie table
• Random DMs from vendors asking to be placed on a "referral list"
• The annual hotel "can I invite you to see the space?" emails
• and one of the more controversial conversations between planners - can percentage based pricing cross the line with potentially overcharging?
