In this candid episode, Kelly shares a behind-the-scenes story about how a string of mismanaged logistics, broken agreements, and skyrocketing costs at a luxury hotel led to a major shift in her business model - and a powerful lesson about burnout, boundaries, and making executive decisions to prevent burnout.
What began as a stressful event planning experience turned into a breakthrough moment that resulted in a full overhaul of Kelly’s live event strategy. Now, she's running more impactful, accessible, and profitable events - all without sacrificing joy, client experience, or her mental well-being.
