I’m SO EXCITED!! My interview with the fabulous for the drops TOMORROW!🎉🙌🏻 (Tuesday 4/14)

This is my second time chatting with Andrea and incredibly honored to be included again. You can listen on , , or watch & listen on .

We covered a LOT…longevity in the wedding industry, mentorship, teamwork, and why creating meaningful connections through organizations like WIPA mean so much. So much to talk about, plus Andrea and I are friends too…we could’ve easily gone on for two hours! (Don’t worry, we didn’t😉)

If you’re not already following the Bridal Club Podcast, don’t sleep on it! It’s on fire and breaking records for a reason…Andrea brings on incredible guests, gets them to really open up, and asks them the questions that WE all want to know. I’m a guest on this one, but I’m also a real fan …I listen to every episode and love learning new things about the friendors I already adore.❤️

I can’t wait for you to hear this episode! Give it a listen and let me know your favorite part😘

Connecting with fellow speakers = one of my most favorite things🙌🏻

PS…how gorgeous is the newly renovated showroom?! Thanks for hosting us😘

JTro wore….

A branded work ‘fit!
This is one of my work “uniforms” that I revisit time and time again…wide leg trousers with a stretch blazer. On this particular day I went with my company’s logo on a tank and comfy sneaks, plus silver jewelry. As a busy makeup artist for the last 30+ years, I need work wear that’s easy to throw on and easy to move in but still looks put together, and this no-fail outfit is exactly that. Win!🙌🏻

Conferences aren’t just about sessions and social events…they’re about making connections!

Shafonne is the force behind and , and I just loved her energy…I was nodding in agreement to all of her comments. We connected afterward and instantly clicked like we’d known each other for years…you know, when you think “she’s my kind of people!🙌🏻”

Getting to meet incredible industry leaders and make connections like this? Yep, totally worth it!

Well THIS wasn’t on my bingo card…Society of Wedding Professionals Ambassador of the Year!🎉🏆

For community/industry leadership. For showing up. For inspiring and lifting up others and for really believing in the power of associations and real relationships with real people.

WIPA is my home base and I’m proud to serve nationally, but I’ve also invested in for years…sponsoring galas, mentoring, speaking at luncheons, and building personal and professional friendships that really matter. (So many wonderful people, but I HAVE to shout out .themasonguy here…literally the best and most supportive vendor and friend you’ll ever know. Period!❤️)

I truly, TRULY love this crazy industry (and all of you😘) and I care deeply about showing up with integrity, mentorship, consistency and support wherever I can give it. To be seen for that? It’s humbling and warms my heart in a way I can’t even explain….and it’s the fuel that keeps me going.

This one means a lot, SWP…thank you so very much!😘

We love when our speaker friends come to DFW! Today, the one and only presented a fabulous talk on hospitality at and and I made sure we were there to support!🙌🏻

Looking forward to reconnecting again in less than 2 weeks at this year’s ….are you going? See ya there!🙋🏻‍♀️
