Tired of feeling stretched thin during your slow season?This week's Six-Figure Friday episode is all about preparing your bridal seamstress business for the quieter months—without the stress and panic that can come from inconsistent income.

Nadine gets real about the emotional rollercoaster of feast-or-famine finances and shares one simple yet powerful strategy that changed everything for her: seasonal savings.

This isn’t just about putting money in an envelope. It's about building financial habits that support the life and business you actually want—one where you’re not scrambling for bookings or wondering how to pay yourself during the off-season.

If January and February have ever made you second-guess your path as a seamstress, this episode will show you how to take back control—with practical steps and plenty of encouragement.

In this episode:

• What “seasonal savings” actually means (and how to start one today)

• How Nadine uses Profit First principles to plan ahead with confidence

• Why consistency in paying yourself is the ultimate game-changer

• The mindset shift that makes saving feel easy and automatic

• Real talk on how to stop letting stress rule your slower months

Are your local bridal shops your biggest allies, or just names on a list?

In this behind-the-scenes episode, I am sharing my takeaways from The Bridal Summit in Fredericksburg, Virginia, hosted by Wendy Rivera and Speak Bride University. From touring the dreamy Ava Lauren Bridal boutique to leading conversations between stylists and seamstresses, this episode is all about the power of collaboration in the bridal industry.

If you've ever felt unseen or misunderstood by your feeder stores—or unsure how to even begin building those relationships—this episode will inspire you to take the first step.

You’ll hear why bridal shops want to hear from you, how to position yourself as a resource (not a critic), and why seamless communication benefits not just the seamstress—but the stylist and bride too.

In this episode:

• Why building genuine relationships with bridal shops is a win-win-win

• The key differences between what stylists say and what brides hear

• How Nadine leads compassionate conversations about alterations

• What every bridal shop should know (but often doesn’t)

• Tips for setting up your own local Q&A session—even if you’re nervous!

Let’s face it—working alone in your studio can be both peaceful and isolating. In this episode we're diving into why in-person connection isn’t just a nice-to-have, it’s a total game-changer for your business.

You’ll hear stories from our Charleston retreat (including how attendees braved an ice storm to get there!), learn what’s ahead for upcoming events, and discover why now is the perfect time to commit to being in the room with other bridal professionals.

There’s something special about real hugs, shared meals, and side-by-side learning that just can’t be replicated on Zoom.

Whether you’re craving fresh inspiration, new friendships, or a reminder of your why, this episode will give you that little push to say “yes” to an in-person event this year.
