10: The System for Keeping It Together (When Your Job Is to Make It Perfect) with Julian Leaver
Manage episode 497538390 series 3669977
Be the calm in everyone else's chaos. Then cry in your car—like a professional. Right? Just kidding. In this episode, I sit down with Julian Leaver, luxury wedding planner and etiquette expert, to talk about what it really takes to stay grounded in a high-pressure, high-image industry. With decades of experience and a client list that spans from Aspen to Paris, Julian is known for delivering elegance with empathy while setting firm boundaries in a world that resists them.
We go deep into sobriety, burnout, boundaries, and why the wedding industry could use a collective breath and a bit more grace. Also, you’ll hear about the wedding trend Julian wants to kill (amenity bags beware), why Murphy Brown would make a great assistant, and what it means to stop comparing and start competing with yourself.
3 Key Takeaways:
- Why getting sober was the turning point in Julian’s professional (and personal) life
- How the luxury wedding industry normalizes self-neglect—and how to resist it
- The mindset shift that can help burned-out planners take their first breath again
