episode Life Has Been Life-ing Lately cover

Life Has Been Life-ing Lately

This week’s episode is a little more personal and a lot less polished. After a difficult couple of weeks filled with bad news, sickness, burnout, and trying to balance life behind the scenes, I wanted to sit down and have a real conversation about what people don’t see behind running a character entertainment company. In this episode, I’m talking about:  ✨ burnout in creative industries  ✨ the pressure of always being “on”  ✨ balancing personal struggles while running a business  ✨ showing up imperfectly instead of disappearing completely  ✨ protecting your peace and creativity  ✨ why I still continue creating magic after decades  Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is simply keep showing up. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or burnt out lately… this episode is for you. 💛

Running Mandatory Training for Performers (Structure, Policies & What I Teach

If you’re running a character entertainment company and struggling with training your team… this episode is for you. In this episode of The Party Princess Podcast, I’m breaking down exactly how I run training inside my company—from my once-a-year mandatory training day to optional workshops throughout the year. We’re talking structure, expectations, and how to create a consistent, professional team across the board. I cover: * How I structure my annual training (princess, hero, and mascot breakdowns) * Why I separate trainings by character type * Using team leads to teach specific skill sets * Creating slideshow presentations for organized, effective training * What to actually teach your performers (character work, party flow, professionalism, and more) * How I handle mandatory training with independent contractors * Why I don’t pay for training—and what I do instead * Incentives that actually motivate performers to show up and grow * Optional workshops (like hair bar and face painting) that increase bookings and skill I also share the reality of what happens when performers skip training—and why setting clear standards is essential if you want to protect your brand and client experience. Whether you’re just starting your company or looking to level up your team, this episode will give you a clear, real-world look at what works. 🎧 Perfect to listen to while getting ready for your parties or on the way to your next event!

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
