7. Real Talk on Community, Creativity & Purpose with Sydney Mintle

This episode is extra special because I’m joined by one of the first people who truly believed in me and helped shape the foundation of my business—Sydney Mintle, founder of Gossip & Glamour, fashion PR powerhouse, and true champion of community over competition. Sydney and I go deep on what real collaboration looks like, how to build authentic relationships in the bridal and fashion industries, and why supporting other women in business is more than just a trend—it’s a lifestyle. We also talk about grief, motherhood, and how to live with intention both in your business and your life. Sydney shares how she’s continued running a thriving business while navigating deep personal loss—and how she’s using her voice to create space for the conversations that really matter. Whether you're a bridal beauty pro, wedding vendor, creative entrepreneur, or woman trying to do meaningful work while building a beautiful life—this one’s for you.
