The Cookie Table | A Wedding and Relationship Podcast

Angela of⁠Angela Pro Design⁠ joins The Cookie Table to talk all things stationary!

We have a great discussion about how being parent actually helps strengthen your skills as a business owner and entrepreneur, how important it is to use a professional stationer for their expertise, the pros and cons of Pinterest, and not wanting to rip through a beautiful envelope liner.

We also dive into the sad reality of the USPS and their extensive mailing specifications and UGLY stamps. And also why you shouldn't use Canva for your business logo.

Most of all, we are shocked to hear about the anti-trans publications who wouldn't accept Angela's beautiful styled shoot.

I've been waiting SIX years for this.

My former radio pal, Broadway, joins me as we gain closure on our awful radio morning show experience together.

We have to take a break to bake the cookies ;) Introducing my version of a solo session with just you & me!

I entered my DREAM industry at 19 years old. Landed my absolute dream job at 22. So why am I a wedding planner now?

At 30 years old, I finally have the platform (and the gaul) to explain why I left commercial radio.

Thank you to everyone who has supported all of my dreams and aspirations along the way 💚

Events by Emily joins me around The Cookie Table with her holiday cookie staple, kolachy, and some coffee to kick off the day.

Emily is a planning colleague of mine who defines herself as luxury, where myself & the Joyful Events brand does not. But after talking about it - I kind of am?? So we discuss the differences and what that term means when attached to a service. Plus the huge difference between experienced planners vs. those who are still learning and do this as a hobby.

I recently received a text from someone who was referred to me to. This person was looking for a wedding coordinator or should I say, just a breathing body or laborer at their wedding. I dive into how that text convo went.

Mom guilt PLAGUES us every day as we are both "stay at home working moms." What does that look like for us, especially when your kiddo doesn't nap anymore. The ability to be able to work AND stay home with your child is a blessing, but a massive challenge, too.

Other topics we jump into:

• Moving the card box is a liability, but mainly in luxury planning?
• Giving out your cell phone to clients but keeping them on unread
• Personal vs. working time
• We don't all work on the same clock
• The epitome of “this could’ve been an email” 
• and being the main decision maker every second of the day - for our family, children, and even other vendors.

I first worked with Dawn back in 2019 during my first wedding season (where the actual hell does the time go), and we start by clearing the air that she doesn't hate me for my panic decision that day - hurray!

Dawn Derbyshire Photography is the amazing photographer behind my podcast album photo, and has been crushing my branding shoots andBrie & Basket picnic photos for years now. Dawn and I dive into how to avoid industry bigots, price transparency, how to handle clients who ask for way too many edits, getting a vendor meal, and even having to fully reshoot a surprise PROPOSAL. Sit back & enjoy.
