Episode 22: wedding dos and don’ts with event planner, jessica kuipers

There’s no denying that your wedding day is one of the most memorable and joyous days of your life, and I trusted my big day with Jessica Kuipers, a Santa Barbara-based wedding planner. I think that most brides will agree that wedding planning can be exhausting and overwhelming, so thank goodness for wedding planners (worth every penny in my opinion).


Jessica is an event planner that serves California and world-wide destinations. Her company, Onyx & Redwood, specializes in designing high-end luxury weddings and her work has been featured in Elle Japan, Martha Stewart, and Brides. When it comes to weddings, Jessica believes that luxury doesn’t need to be boring and edgy can still be elegant. Her whole business motto revolves around the simple concept that your wedding is 100% about you and your partner. Jessica’s philosophy is all about the “Permission to be Yourself.”


In today’s episode, we discuss wedding trends, staying creative in the event industry, destination weddings, mistakes brides (or grooms) make, and so much more! Plus we chat about our own weddings – what we cherished, what made it unforgettable, and what we would do differently today.

NEW episode of The Bets Life Podcast with @sacred. NEW episode of The Bets Life Podcast with @sacred.rose.healings 🎙️ 

Episode 73: Trusting Your Inner Wisdom: Reiki, Spirituality, & Self-Discovery With Caitlin Cohn 👏🏻 

On this episode of The Bets Life Podcast, I’m joined by Caitlin Cohn, certified Reiki Master and founder of Sacred Rose Healings. Caitlin shares her approach to energy healing, the connection between spirituality and psychology, and how we can cultivate a deeper relationship with ourselves through presence, intuition, and self-reflection. 🌹 

We chat about the basics of Reiki, how energy healing works, and how Caitlin experiences her energetic work with clients. Caitlin also shares how aligning with the seasons can help us honor our natural rhythms, why learning to trust our inner knowing is a lifelong practice, and the powerful lessons she’s learned from leading a local girls’ group. Plus, Caitlin opens up about her own spiritual journey, the inspiration behind her practice, and her response to skeptics. 🥰

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from yourself, struggled to slow down and listen to what your body really needs, or wondered how to strengthen your intuition, this episode is for you. Stick around after the episode for Caitlin’s guided Root, Blossom, Grow Meditation too! 🧘‍♀️
