What if the secret to success in 2025 isn’t about doing more, but consuming less? In this episode, I’m diving into a game-changing mindset shift for wedding pros that could completely transform how you show up in your business (and life). 

We’re talking about inputs vs. outputs—how the things you consume daily, from social media to news, podcasts, and even conversations, are shaping your creativity, focus, and success. And here’s the truth: a lot of us are unknowingly allowing negative inputs to drain our energy and keep us stuck.

On this episode of The Power in Purpose Podcast:

• [00:00]: New Year, New Opportunities

• [05:51]: The Impact of Inputs on Outputs

• [12:20]: Identifying Negative Inputs

• [20:28]: Cultivating Positive Inputs

You need to stop hiding and start putting yourself out there. Especially in 2025.

As a business coach for women in the wedding industry for over a decade, I've seen this pattern time and again. Talented women, capable of achieving great things, hold themselves back by not marketing themselves effectively.

You’re afraid to put yourself out there - and you procrastinate and make a shit tone of excuses as to why you haven’t marketed your business recently. This lack of visibility in marketing can have serious consequences, the worst being the closure of your business.

It’s time for you to stop hiding and to get serious about your marketing strategy with what I like to call a little dose of New Girl Energy #NGE. In this episode, I break down for you what is at stake if you keep hiding and how to infuse your marketing with some New Girl Energy!

(This episode originally aired as episode 109 and we are recasting it this month to help you think about marketing for your business in 2025. Enjoy!)

I've got something a little different for you today, something that's been on my mind for a while now. It's about wedding directories - you know, those big names that promise to skyrocket your business visibility and send a flood of leads your way.

Well, I've decided it's time to pull back the curtain and share my honest, no-holds-barred thoughts on these platforms. And let me tell you, it's not all sunshine and roses.

In the latest episode of the Power and Purpose podcast, I'm diving deep into the world of wedding directories. I'm talking about the good, the bad, and yes, even the downright shady tactics some of these platforms use to get you to advertise.

So, if you’ve ever wondered whether advertising in wedding directories is the right move for your business (or if it’s time to pull the plug on your current listing), I’m sharing candid insights and the criteria I use to decide whether wedding directories are worth it.

(This episode originally aired as episode 108 and we are recasting it this month to help you think about advertising for your business in 2025 - and if directories are really worth the money. Enjoy!)
