Share Your Story. Inspire the Journey.

Be a Guest on the Eventful Aspirations Podcast

Are you a woman who's built a business in the celebrations space and is actively growing it? Maybe you're a planner, designer, or creative service provider helping others gather, connect, or celebrate meaningful moments.

You've moved beyond the startup phase. You're generating revenue, serving clients, and building something real. Now you're thinking about what it really takes to grow with more clarity, purpose, and strategic intention.

Eventful Aspirations features real conversations with women like you—those who've already proven their concept and are navigating the next level of growth. If you're building something meaningful and want to share what you've learned along the way, we'd love to hear your story.

Why Be a Guest?

Your Voice Matters
Gen X women often feel unseen in the business world, especially when building something new later in life. Your experience matters and helps other women feel less alone in their journey.

Your Story Inspires
There are women out there looking for a sign and the confidence to build the life they imagine. Your authentic story about figuring it out might be exactly what someone needs to hear.

Your Business Gets Seen
The right people are listening for someone exactly like you. You'll be introduced to a growing audience of thoughtful women who value connection, authenticity, and purpose-led businesses.

Who We Feature

  • You started your business in the celebration space (event planning, hospitality, design, or another creative experience-based service) and are actively bringing on paying clients.
  • You're still figuring it out but working to grow with more clarity, purpose, and a rhythm that feels right for you. You're in those early-to-middle years where you're finding your way.
  • You're willing to share openly about your journey, including what you've learned, what has shifted, and where you're still navigating the path forward.

If this sounds like you, you’re in the right place!

What to Expect

This is a thoughtful conversation about your business growth journey. We'll talk about where you started, what has shifted through the early years, the challenges you've navigated, and what you're building next.

We're particularly interested in your insights about:
  →  How you've approached scaling strategically
  →  What systems or processes have made the biggest difference
  →  How you've stayed aligned with your values while growing
  →  The mindset shifts that have been most important
  →  What you wish you'd known earlier in your journey

There's no need to prepare anything in advance. Just show up ready to reflect and share your authentic experience.


FAQs

What's the time commitment for being a guest?
The actual recording is about 45-60 minutes, plus a brief pre-chat and post-interview wrap-up. We handle all the editing and production, so your only job is to show up and share your story.
Do I need to have a big following to apply?
Not at all! We're looking for authentic stories from women who are actively growing their businesses, not necessarily those who've already "made it." Your willingness to share openly matters more than your follower count.
How do I know if my story is a good fit?
We’re not looking for perfect success stories. We’re looking for honest conversations with women who are ready to inspire, encourage, and connect.
What if I'm not a great speaker or feel nervous?
This is a supportive, conversational environment. We'll guide you through the process, and many guests are surprised by how natural it feels. We're here to help you feel comfortable sharing your story.
How can being a guest benefit me?
You'll become part of a growing conversation about what it means to build a business in a way that feels right for you. It’s also a great way to build visibility and connection without needing a polished pitch or big following.
How long until my episode is published?
Most episodes are published within 4-6 weeks of recording. We'll give you a heads up about your publish date so you can share it with your audience.
When will I hear back about my application?
As soon as you submit your application, you can go ahead and schedule your recording spot! After we review all applications, we may adjust the guest lineup, and if that affects your spot, we'll let you know right away.
