👉 Watch my free training to go from hustling for leads to getting steady bookings.

Are you feeling drained, uninspired, or stretched too thin in your wedding business? You’re not alone. Burnout is becoming more common in the wedding industry, and it’s taking a serious toll on talented professionals who love what they do but can’t keep up with the constant demands.

In this episode, I’m joined by Tirzah Caffee, a 30-year veteran of the wedding industry and host of the Venue Success Podcast, to talk about something we don’t discuss nearly enough, wedding industry burnout. We’re digging into the real signs of burnout in the wedding industry, what leads to it, and how to stop it before it derails your business and your life.

You’ll hear practical strategies for avoiding burnout as a wedding professional, ways to set boundaries with clients and vendors, and how to recover if you’re already deep in wedding vendor burnout. Tirzah’s perspective is honest, compassionate, and filled with wisdom from decades in the industry.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re losing your spark, this conversation will help you get it back and build a more sustainable business that supports your wellbeing as much as your success.
