I teach fellow wedding professionals the exact systems, sales processes, tools, scripts, and templates I used to make a (six figure) living designing flowers and planning weddings, all while raising my three kids.

And my signature straight-shooting business insights have been featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur, and Business Insider.
