Dixie Bagley

Wedding Business Entrepreneur / Business & Personal Consulting for

Wedding & Event pros that = Growth & Balance/

Wedding Planning/ Speaking & Education

Dedicated and determined barely touch the surface when describing

Dixie Bagley. As a former personal trainer turned wedding venue owner

and planner, Dixie Bagley is committed to her craft.

Dixie's entrepreneurial journey from single motherhood to business.

Mogul exemplifies the power of resilience and determination.

Dixie and her husband purchased their land in 2008 with the hopes of

living on the property full time. When she hosted a wedding as a favor

to a family friend back in 2010, she never dreamed of turning the venue

into a full-time business. But after several requests from other couples

asking to host their own wedding on her property, Dixie took the plunge

and dove headfirst into the wedding industry.

In the span of 16 years, Dixie has scaled her business from one venue

to multiple businesses and endeavors. She realized after being the

main point of contact for her venue couples, she should take the next

natural step into offering full wedding planning services. She is also the

owner of a bakery, an online wedding directory for vendors and couples,

and she regularly coaches other wedding professionals on how to thrive

in their business and personal lives.

Dixie has hosted over 600 events and to say she has seen it all would

be an understatement. She is grace under fire! She puts her clients at

ease and can throw a party like no one else. Her colleagues would

describe her as a consummate professional. Dixie's desire and passion

are to ensure great relationships and connections with every client and

peer, and this is evident in her impeccable customer service.

She knows what it takes to be the boss of successful and ethical

wedding businesses. Not only that, but Dixie prides herself on providing

high-quality service, working with other honorable businesses, and

always having her clients' best interests at heart.

Her story serves as an inspiration to aspiring entrepreneurs, highlighting

the importance of perseverance, patients and integrity and navigating

the unpredictable journey of entrepreneurship. Through grit and

determination Bagley proves that with resilience anything is possible.

She loves getting to know people on a one on one basis whether it be

deep therapeutic shit talking or business brainstorming she’s in

My journey as a life coach started in a time of transitions. After serving in the United States Air Force – Air National Guard since 2002 – I resigned from my full-time career, accepting a promotion as a Human Resource Advisor, Diversity and Inclusion Consultant, Certified Coach, Emotional Intelligence Facilitator, and Temperament Instructor, which was a part-time position. I moved from Buffalo, New York, where all my friends and family were, to Harrisburg, PA, where my husband was stationed with the United States Army. I attempted to transition to a civilian lifestyle, applying for positions with many companies, but I was continually getting rejected. Feeling frustrated and isolated, I began to doubt myself. I found myself longing for the life I used to have. I knew I was meant for more than what I had been doing, but to become the woman I was meant to be, I needed to rebuild my identity.

In 2017, I hired a coach who specialized in transitioning Veterans. Guiding me through this tumultuous time in my personal and professional life, she challenged and empowered me to find my true passion that I could build my future career around. Through a process of interviewing, journaling, and discussing my options, I was able to determine that what I wanted to do was to help people reach beyond their comfort zone to lead a healthy, happy, thriving life. On November 1, 2017, I made the decision to start my own coaching business.

Through my personal experiences, in combination with my professional training, I have developed a variety of tools and courses that I want to share with my clients to give them the hope and encouragement they need to transform their lives.

I started teaching in-person mindset, HIIT, and Kickboxing classes in parks, community centers, and kid’s dance camps. I volunteered for several speaking events, including races, women’s empowerment seminars, as well as on wellness and resilience podcasts. As a former NFL Cheerleader and professional Belly Dancer, I know how to bring energy and excitement to any room to make fitness and health fun! I focus on being a role model and a community builder, bringing like-minded people together and empowering them to crews beyond their limits.

When the Covid-19 pandemic caused the gyms to shut down, I had to adapt to a situation that was out of my control, yet affected everyone. I switched to all virtual training, streaming free classes twice a day that improved the mental and physical health of men, women, and their kids all over the United States. Overcoming the challenges presented by the pandemic has allowed me to grow both as an individual and as a business. I have developed several new tools and programs to help women and men from the privacy of their own home. In 2022 I published my first book “Your Krystal Clear Life Planner: A woman’s 90 Day Action Plan to Embrace Chaos and Live a Fulfilling Life!

Anne empowers women to break free from self-doubt and discover their purpose in Christ. A certified Christian coach, author, blogger, & musician, her journey began with a struggle for people-pleasing, leading to burnout & a disconnect from God. A pivotal moment came in 2019. Finding forgiveness & releasing past hurts, Anne experienced a profound peace, transforming her from unloved to knowing a new kind of love - Gods unconditional love. Inspired, she launched "One Day at a Time," a blog sharing her faith journey & creative passions, including songwriting.

In 2023, God called Anne to a new path. Leaving her accounting career after 50 years, she became a certified Christian coach, ready to guide others from

living distracted to finding the treasure of God's peace. Her book, "Where Faith Takes Flight," reflects her transformation.

Today, Anne uses her gifts to help women discover their God-given talents & live a fulfilling life centered

on Christ. A beacon of faith, she continues to write, play music, serve in her church community, & find joy in nature. Anne believes in God's unwavering faithfulness & the empowerment He provides, while encouraging others to embrace their identity as beloved children of God.
