267. What Does It {actually} Mean to Be the CEO?

Wedding Pro CEO | Building Profitable Wedding Businesses

In this episode, I’m turning the tables and letting you in on an exclusive conversation where Amanda Figueredo, one of my Inner Circle students and owner of Day of Diva, interviews me about my journey from wedding planner to CEO.

Amanda and I dig deep into the hard truths and strategic steps it took for me to step away from day-to-day operations, build a high-performing team, and finally focus on growing my business instead of just working in it.

This is your playbook to build a profitable wedding business without the chaos and burnout.
