Balancing business ownership with motherhood is a topic that doesn’t get enough air time—especially in the event industry, where boundaries are blurry and expectations are high.
With that, I recently joined Meredith Jane on the Wedding Industry Mama podcast for an episode titled “When the Publicist Becomes the Parent,” where I reflected on how stepping into parenthood reshaped the way I lead, communicate, and navigate business ownership.

This conversation isn’t about strategy or PR plans. It’s about identity, grace, and learning to let go of the idea that everything has to be perfect all the time. Meredith created space for a thoughtful and candid discussion, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to share a different side of my story—one that often remains behind the scenes.
In this episode, we explore:
- The internal identity shifts that come with becoming a parent
- How personal growth impacts professional leadership
- What I’ve learned about letting go of perfectionism
You can listen to the full episode below or wherever you get your podcasts:

If the conversation resonates, I’d love if you’d share it with a fellow parent in the industry who might appreciate a little solidarity. And if you’re curious about my speaking work in the wedding and event space, you can also view my profile on Wedding Industry Speakers.
