This morning I was reminded that when someone tells you what they want, it’s okay to tell them what you have and let them make a decision that works for them.

Ps: don’t mind my mud-sentence brain glitch. Losing words when speaking Is my struggle of the decade.

Dande is 11! When I started Dande (Delegate & Elevate back in 2015), I don’t know that I thought I’d still be at it 11 years later. But I also knew I would likely NOT be working for someone else again.

SO much has changed in the last year with AI. I’ve cursed, a lot. I’ve questioned everything. I’ve felt frustrated, sad and discouraged. I’ve been told that my writing no longer works- it’s too polished or perfect. It’s trying to hard. It doesn’t sound like a real person.

My work has been fed through AI and “fixed.” I’ve been asked what I use to write captions (because apparently my brain isn’t the first assumption these days).

I’ve raged a lot (thanks Julia DeWolfe | Strategic Thought Partner | Business Coach and hubby for listening). I’ve almost walked away.

Instead, I’ve leaned on my team more than ever. I’ve taken space so that my business can breathe again. So that the people I trusted to shepherd my dream through this change could bloom.

This business is bigger than me now. It’s not just my dream. Not only the six people that work with me, but all of the clients that can be hands off social media, so they can be hands on in their lives.

Change is inevitable. Change can be hard. But the best things in life are often born through struggle. It hasn’t been a perfect year, but it was the year I needed. Here’s to many many more.

Maeve’s first Farmer’s Dog meal. This lady is VERY food motivated and I can honestly tell you that she’s even MORE excited than I ever thought possible now that she’s getting the really good stuff (human grade, portioned just for her, food).

We were told that she was dumped & found wandering the woods with eight other dogs. This once unfathomable reality for my sweet girl is no longer.

She’s now loved to the moon & well taken care of.

Feisty, playful & energetic … and sporting a beautiful coat (she’s part Lhasa Apso)

Keep spinning sweet girl.

The Farmer's Dog

08/28/2026

After Tillie’s dental surgery earlier this year, I was committed to taking the best possible care of her possible.

She’s the first dog I’ve ever rescued (or more accurately, the first dog to pick me as her person) and I want her to be with me until she’s a little old lady. Keeping her healthy is a top priority. So, fresh, pre-portioned food seemed like an obvious integration to her (and our) lifestyle. And I really love not having to go to the store to pick up a 50lbs bag of dog food.

Plus, she’s a member of the Dande team and I try to make sure everyone who works with me feels taken care of 😉

Psss: if you want to try the The Farmer's Dog too, I have a link in my bio for 60% off your first box.

Stay tuned for Tillie’s sister, Maeve’s, reaction. It’s pretty epic.

One of the hardest adjustment on social for wedding pros right now?

Simplification.
Understating.
Restraint.

If your couples are within the “Gen Z” demographic, they want “say less, see more.”

This is a STRUGGLE because it doesn’t follow the lines of traditional strategic content. We have to tell people all the things, right?

Now, that’s wrong… At least on social. If you have a lot to say, they’ll hear it on video or read it on carousel text. But captions? We’re stripping them WAY down.

They’re skimming captions, so delivering a hook or headline that says it all without any additional caption context is a skill wedding pros need to develop.

Not sure how to do that? We can help…

Every day, without fail, these two take a walk together. They don’t move when they see you coming.
They aren’t distracted by people, cars, dogs.
They meander at their own pace.
They stick to their routine, rain or shine.
They simply do their thing while moving from pond A to pond B.

Wouldn’t it be awesome if we could all run our buiz like the ducks that don’t give a f*ck. No worries about what the other ducks or people are doing.

They’re simply following the course, one waddle at a time.

Consistent. Unconcerned. Unbothered. Effective.

Dande is your duck. The team that keeps your marketing moving, regardless of all noise. You focus on your path, we’ll keep this one to occupied.

Just a reminder to stop comparing your account to other accounts. Everyone’s version of success looks different and you never know what’s going on behind closed doors.

Keep growing. Blooms look different in every season.

Are you using the wrong keywords on Instagram?

Look at keywords as search opportunities. When a couple is looking for something specific, do you want to be found for that? Use those words in your captions.

Also consider that your vocabulary might not be the same. Do a little research to determine how a couple is phrasing what they want, versus how you would describe it.

Simple might be the same as minimal.
Elegant might be the same as romantic.
Classic might be the same as timeless.
Raw might be the same as candid.
Editorial might be the same as flash.
Rustic might be the same as organic.

Understand the intent allows you to incorporate strategic search into your social media posts.

Your website should do the heavy lifting on the brand messaging front.

Your social is an opportunity to pique interest, inspire action and move them through the pipeline. Not carry the entire process.

Appetizer vs entree, K?

Stop dating your content! Sure, couples can see when you haven’t posted on social media in a while, but if you simply pick back up with posting, they’ll soon forget about that break you took. Your new followers won’t know the difference.

If your blog isn’t dated, they don’t know the difference between a post you made today and one you made in 2024, unless you tell them.

Calling out your absence brings attention to the wrong thing. It also leads to a lack of trust and worries about your dependability.

Make the post, not excuses.

What is the difference between entitled and educated? It’s a fine line and it’s up to us to tell clients when they’ve crossed it.

Look at it this way: The HOW vs the WHY. I may not need the nuisances of how a surgeon performs a procedure (I don’t know what a 10 blade is, aside from reference in The Pitt and knowing that information adds zero value to the situation).

But I do want to know why I’m going under the knife and what to expect when it’s over.

In other instances, I may want to know when the job is done (set up is from 2-4 pm) but I have little concern for how or why it’s done a specific way, as long as the end result is what was sold.

Transparency doesn’t have to mean over sharing or over explaining. But it does mean setting expectations and boundaries, and eliminating surprises.

If you’ve provided pertinent information and it’s still not enough, a client may not be for you.
