This week has truly been one for the record books. 🥹
9 events in 5 days, y’all. NINE! And we’re not talking small events either. Half of them had 60+ guests, one had 120, and we ended the week with a BANG serving 420 people!
When I say we PUSHED!!! Physically, mentally, emotionally. We stretched ourselves in ways I don’t think any of us were prepared for. There were long days, early mornings, tired feet, and moments when we were running on nothing but adrenaline and determination.
But you know what? We had SO much fun in the middle of all that chaos.
One day we had THREE catering events happening, which meant we had to divide and conquer. And for me, that meant another lesson in leadership. Letting go a little more. Trusting the team I've built. Allowing them to run an event completely on their own while I handled another.
And they absolutely KILLED IT! I received nothing but praise for how well everything went. Was I surprised? Not one bit. But was I proud? Beyond words.
I've been reflecting on that a lot. Because growing a business isn't just about booking more events, increasing revenue, or serving bigger crowds. It's about building something that doesn't depend on you being in every room, making every decision, or doing every little thing. It's about trusting the people beside you and giving them the opportunity to shine.
And shine they did. ❤️
I can't even count how many adrenaline rushes I experienced this week. And somewhere between the exhaustion and delirium came some of the FUNNIEST moments we've ever shared. I'm talking tears streaming down our faces, stomachs hurting, can't catch your breath kind of laughter. 😂 Those moments right there? Those are the ones I'll cherish long after the exhaustion wears off.
And can we talk about this ALL FEMALE CREW?!
Kesha, Sam, Michelle R, and our newest addition, Kerry. Some strong, hardworking, talented, incredible women. I don't think I could ever fully express how grateful I am for each of them. They showed up, stepped up, figured things out, supported each other, and got the job DONE.
I'm so incredibly blessed to have them in my corner. Stunna's is growing, and this week reminded me that I'm not growing it alone.
I'm proud of what we're building. I'm proud of the women helping me build it. And I'm grateful for every single person who trusted us to be part of their events this week.
This week stretched us, but it also showed us what we're capable of.
And perhaps my biggest takeaway is that sometimes growth looks like being pushed beyond what's comfortable, learning to release control, and realizing that the people you've poured into are more than capable of carrying the vision alongside you.
Now, with ALL that being said...
My body is TRASHED. My brain is FRIED. I don't want to look at another catering pan for a minute. 🤣🤣
But my heart is FULL. ❤️
And I'm heading into this much needed vacation feeling incredibly grateful.
What. A. Week.
