Yes, you did read that right, and no, it's actually not just for clickbait.  It’s the first week of July, we’ve just begun a new Financial year and I want to take you behind the scenes on the numbers of my business for the 25/26 financial year.  Because I want to talk about what it means to make a loss in your business, and why that might not be the worst thing in the world, wether you’re in...

I want to talk about “doing it all.” I’ve had a few people recently — friends, clients, people I work with — ask me, “How do you do it all?” And honestly? I don’t. I really want to unpack that, because I think we throw this phrase around constantly, especially around women in business. Like doing it all is somehow the goal. Or the benchmark of success. But the truth is, I’m not doing it all. I hav...

In this episode, I'm giving you a shake up for free. Well, actually, not me, exactly.  In this episode I'm joined by one of my favourite humans the one and only Candice Harvey .

Candice Harvey is the woman you call when your people, leaders, or entire organ...

Hi lovelies So this year, I decided it was time to get involved in Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show. 10 years into floristry and now felt like the time to jump in this incredible event in the floral calendar and DAMN am I glad I did.  My first ever floral competition, creating a 6m x 2m hanging installation in another city... and we brought home the Bronze Award and I could not hav...

Hello my loves! I want to talk about the 2016 trend. You will have seen this all over insta and I am really loving it and that’s because 2016 feels a little special to me, because for me it’s actually a pivotal moment - the year I started my floristry busieness, so the significance of 2016 and 2026 was something I wanted to share anyway and now it’s a trend. So yay! I started my floristry business...

How are you? How has the year begun for you? I'm starting the year in a strange energy - there’s the expectation of the new year energy, the buzz of new goals and things to chase, and in reality, all of those things have been present for me, they’ve just also been mixed in with school holidays, caring for children, working from home more and wanting to be present in all of those things... the...

Hello my loves! I have had something on my heart lately that I’m actually really looking forward to diving into with you on this episode, because I want to talk about how growth is often exponential and you might not be able to see how the picture in your mind could ever eventuate and then suddenly it’s here.  In this episode I'm sharing how that happens and the changes I’ve experienced in my...

In the words of Candice Bydder: 'Rising tide lifts all boats', I love this analogy Candice used in describing what WAWA The WA Wedding Association is all about. It’s a sentiment I resonate hard with and I’m sure you will too.  In this episode of The Bloom-Print Podcast I chat to Candice Bydder from  Celebrations by Candice a Perth wedding celebrant and the Secretary of WAWA about the fir...

IT'S WEDDING SEASON! Ok in Perth and surrounds, South Australia, Victoria, Tasmania - my bottom half of the country - it's freakin wedding season and this year it feels massive. I'm looking at our calendar seeing record numbers of events on our books, our team are busy and it's exactly what I want as a business owner - but in order to hold it all, in order to stay SANE, there&a...

Hi my loves, and welcome back to The Bloom-Print Podcast .  Now if you’re reading this… then that means… that I’m on holiday!   So here’s the tea: I’m taking a whole month off to go to Europe with my little family. We’ve been planning this trip for a long time. And I know that now I really need it as well because I’ve noticed myself getting cranky and really inflexible with clients, so... it is ti...

It's been a little break in the weather since podcasts so in this episode I'm sharing a little wrap up of what's been happening - our end of financial year, the retreat wrap up, our new staff, school holiday navigation, what's happening for us the rest of the financial year.  Gosh it's good to be back in this space and sharing this with you. My focus is always on sharing t...

We just had a long weekend in Perth and I spent the long weekend doing absolutely nothing - no plans, literally none,  we were just at home… doing nothing.   Usually, I would use long weekends to do all the things, you know the drill right, when you’ve got an extra day and everyone just migrates to bunnings and runs extra errands and drinks more because you’ve got 3 weekend nights, and you’re seei...

it’s well into May, wedding and event season in Perth as in all major cities around the country is wrapping up. We just finished what felt like a 3 week sprint – really job to job, day to day, what’s even happening, when we just get through this week we can focus on next week kind of stuff.   So the event world is starting to quieten down a bit, and instead of rushing from install to install, we g...

Hello my loves! This week on The Bloom-Print Podcast I have a beautiful guest for you!

At 32, Em is the ultimate boss bab...

Last week we were doing an install in a corporate building on a Monday morning. We were there at 5am and were actually buzzing to make a 2m ANZAC wreath.  Around 6am workers started to shuffle in and one lady in her 50s clutching a coffee cup says ' You've got the good job', and I thought to myself, 'yeah I really do!' I used to be that office worker dreaming perhaps of a...

Belinda Fleay has been a florist for 2.5yrs. What started as an investigation into a hobby very quickly turned into employment and the start of a business! This surprise was well and truly embraced, and so a home studio was set up and her business started to grow around raising her 3 boys. I met the beautiful Belinda from Rose & Lily Floral Haus in 2023 when she signed up for Wedding Flowers 1...

We’ve all told ourselves that wonderful therapeutic line ‘This is hard, and I can do hard things’ and so far this year, I challenged myself to do a hard thing.  My husband and I recently completed the 75 Hard Challenge and it has been really good for me in the most inconvenient way.  So, if you’re sitting there like what the fuck is 75 hard. Let me break it down for you. It’s a personal developmen...

Ever wished you could go back and do things smarter from the start?  Starting your business at the moment and wanting to get it right? In this episode, I’m sharing exactly what I’d do differently (and what I’d keep the same) if I were starting my floristry business all over again in 2025, this time as a married mum of two, with everything I’ve learned over the past 9 years. From pricing mistakes a...

Running a business is a lot like raising a baby - you celebrate the milestones, nurture it through its early stages, and stay patient as it grows.  In this episode, I’m diving into the parallels between parenting and entrepreneurship, from learning to crawl before you walk to feeding your business the right ‘nutrition’ at every stage.  Whether your business is in its newborn phase or starting to t...
