Today’s episode is all about a word we hear constantly in the wedding industry: collaboration. It sounds beautiful—community, connection, supporting one another—but let’s be real: not every collab is what it claims to be.
In this episode, I’m getting honest about a recent situation with a high-profile client that left me feeling completely disrespected, and how it opened my eyes to the way the word “collaboration” is often misused in our industry. I’m breaking down what real collaboration should look like for bridal beauty professionals, and how to protect your time, energy, and worth when you're asked to work “for exposure.”
If you’ve ever been asked to donate your artistry, your time, or even your studio space in exchange for vague promises of “visibility,” this episode will resonate. It’s time we have real conversations about what it looks like to build trust and create genuine connections in the bridal world.
