The Floral Hustle

Does the idea of networking make your palms sweat? You’re not alone—but it might be the one thing holding your business back from explosive growth. In this episode, I’m sharing my real-world experiences from this past week—from styled shoots and creative collaborations to large-scale events—and exactly how I’ve used networking to build relationships, book business, and grow multiple streams of income.

Whether you’re afraid of the “cool kids club” or just unsure how to add value in the room, I’m breaking down how to walk into a networking opportunity with confidence and clarity.

You’ll learn: ✔️ How to network without feeling awkward or salesy
✔️ Why adding value is your biggest networking superpower
✔️ How to overcome fear and show up like a boss
✔️ What to say (and what to avoid) when meeting someone new
✔️ How strategic networking can open doors to unexpected opportunities
