Lynnette is such a ray of sunshine in what has been a truly awful 11 months for us all. I discovered Lynnette on Instagram and from the first LIVE, I caught I was hooked. Her personality was just so apparent and the ability to smile through has been a pleasure to have on my feed. So if you don't follow Lynnette then head over to her Instagram and follow her.

As a bridal hairstylist, she knows how difficult it has been for the we...

If you are in the wedding industry you would have heard about the #whataboutweddings campaign. On today's episode, I was lucky enough to interview one of the initiators of the movement Tamryn Settle.

Tamryn has been part of the wedding industry for 18 years starting as a wedding planning, only leaving to spend more quality time with her young son. The call of the wedding industry was too strong to resist though and Tamryn came b...

This week we talk with the Music Maestro himself Lincoln Noel, that's Noel as in the first, not Noel as in Gallagher.

In the final episode of 2020, I shout out some accounts and people who have brightened my days throughout the year with their positivity and perseverance. 2020 has seen the industry I love knocked off its feet unceremoniously yet you have all acted with dignity and grace.

Firstly, two corrections to clear up from the Automation podcast 

This episode is a storytime episode grab a tea or coffee sit back and listen. I always say your why is important to know so this might spark some thoughts for you on your why. I also have 3 guests on giving their stories about why they wished there had been something like the society when they got married. 
It's true to say you don't know what you don't know. and for young new brides to be or grooms to be they don't ...

This week Baiju Solanki Performance Psychologist talks us through attitude, Not Attaching To Outcome (NATO) and taking control remembering it only influences results it doesn't guarantee them.
This episode contains some tough love and some high praise. As an industry, I have seen both ends of the spectrum those who seem stuck in the victim mentality and then those who have given, shared and remained positive.
I know that this pan...

Whether you get help from the government or not and regardless of needing to source other work opportunities or not showing up for your business co...

Giveaways online to increase your leads 

We are moving towards engagement session and under normal circumstances, you'd be booking wedding fairs for January February and March. However, it's unlikely to work that way this year so instead, I want to look at how you can attract your brides and grooms using giveaways on your social channels.

Content is everywhere! We are told to have weekly content and we are told to post at least once a day on social and we are told to be consistent. But what we aren't told is without a strategy all of that is for nothing!

Our thoughts are extremely powerful they determine everything we do and everything we feel. It is therefore extremely important that we pay attention to where our thoughts are leading us because sometimes our thoughts lie to us.
