Plot twist: Your Event Planner has a podcast🎙⁠ ⁠ Y Plot twist: Your Event Planner has a podcast🎙⁠ ⁠ Yep — me, Amanda. ⁠ ⁠ Somewhere between the timelines and the seating charts and the "trust me, the bar goes there," I've been building something on the side.⁠ ⁠ It's called Work, By Design. It's where I think out loud about the stuff underneath the events — how we design careers, businesses, and whole lives that actually fit, instead of just function. (Don't worry, wedding clients; I'm still very much in your wedding corner. This is just the other half of my brain getting some air.)⁠ ⁠ And the timing's kind of perfect, because today — Season 1 is officially done.⁠ ⁠ Twelve episodes. A full year (recorded and released in a few months) of thinking out loud — about redesigning a career that works but stopped fitting, about recovery and rebuilding at the same time, about what it costs to let something you love sit still for a while.⁠ ⁠ The finale is up now, and it's the most honest one yet. I cover:⁠ ⁠ → Where the title question actually sits (still open, still squidgy)⁠ → What the four-hour workday actually looks like in practice⁠ → The things still in the notebooks⁠ → What this season did for me that I didn't expect⁠ → Camp Rover, and what the architect version of its comeback looks like⁠ ⁠ And yes — there's a word about Ollie, my 16-year-old dog who is currently running every major life decision I make. He's worth it.⁠ ⁠ If this is your first time hearing any of this, the finale is actually a solid place to start. It's the honest inventory of everything the season covered. Then go back to episode one.⁠ ⁠ Link in bio. 🎧⁠ xo Amanda⁠ ⁠ (Photo from a Manitoba Wedding Network Halloween Event we put on a few years back - Yes, I still have that blazer, made it myself!)
ISSUE 3 — No One Wants to Come⁠ ⁠ Low attendance i ISSUE 3 — No One Wants to Come⁠ ⁠ Low attendance is rarely about timing.⁠ ⁠ It’s about clarity.⁠ ⁠ If people don’t know what they’ll gain, they won’t prioritize showing up — even if they like you.⁠ ⁠ People attend outcomes, not events.⁠ ⁠ ⬅️ Swipe for the shift that changes attendance.⁠

Happy Mother's Day to my mom, Cath. ⁠ ⁠ She's alwa Happy Mother's Day to my mom, Cath. ⁠ ⁠ She's always been my biggest cheerleader, light, inspiration, and north star. ⁠ ⁠ I love you, Mom (to the moon and back). ⁠ xo ⁠ ⁠ Photo by @dwaynelarson
