    085 - The $8,000 Booking I Turned Down (and What It Taught Me About Integrity)

    In this episode of the Take Your Shot podcast, I’m sharing the full story behind the $8,000 wedding I turned down. Not because it wasn’t good money. Not because I didn’t need the booking. But because it wasn’t aligned—and saying yes would’ve compromised the client’s experience, my values, and the kind of business I want to run. We talk about how to trust your gut, how to navigate uncomfortable client conversations with kindness and professionalism, and what it looks like to serve with integrity—especially when the stakes are high. If you’ve ever second-guessed a boundary or wondered how to stay client-first without getting walked over, this episode is for you.
