Its Just My Face Podcast

In this episode, we’re asking one simple question: what’s your excuse? We’re diving into why we default to them so quickly—from “I didn’t have time” to “it’s been crazy” to “the client didn’t respond”—and what’s actually going on underneath. Because most of the time, it’s not about time… it’s about fear, defensiveness, and protecting how we’re perceived. We get into the psychology behind excuses, how they show up in your work and your relationships, and the subtle ways they make you look less re

In this episode, we’re back—and kicking off a brand new series: Event Business 101 (aka… what the hell were you thinking starting a business?) We’re diving into the real reasons people start event businesses—from passion and creativity to a little bit of “I can do it better” energy—and what happens when that dream turns into a chaotic, all-consuming beast. We get into the stuff no one warns you about: being addicted to chaos, avoiding the parts of business you suck at (hi, finances), setting wil

In this episode, we kick off our Would You Rather series with Colorado planner and Payton of Promise Event Planners—and we go straight for the unhinged side of weddings.

Think pulling off 80 events this season makes you successful? Think again. In this episode, we unpack what success really looks like at the end of event season—beyond the Instagram highlights and burnout badges. We get real about the false flexes (like bragging about not peeing for 12 hours), why more events don’t always mean more money, and how to measure success in ways that actually matter. From redefining your goals and protecting your time to remembering that “fun” is a valid KPI, we’re cal

Apparently we’re all control freaks, judgy as hell, and rocking a superiority complex. 🫠 But are we? (Okay… maybe a little.) In this episode, we spill on the myths and truths behind the event brain —the quirks that make us who we are, from Type A checklists to trauma-bonding with our vendor besties. We’ll tell you why half of us almost became lawyers, how theater kids secretly run this industry, and why locking eyes with another pro mid-chaos is the ultimate love language.

Think every dreamy wedding feature in a glossy mag or high‑end blog was earned ? Think again. In this episode, we sit down with PR powerhouse Megan Ely to dig into the murky world of pay‑to‑play in wedding publications—what it is, how to spot it, and why it matters. We talk earned vs. paid placements, the sneaky side of advertorials, and why cropping out “Special Advertising Section” isn’t a good look. Plus, we get real about the emotional toll of comparing yourself to others, the myth of “makin
