Shownotes

Ever wondered how someone goes from filming weddings to talking about planning trips to Disney World for a living? Yeah, me too. 

Because five years ago, I didn’t even know what a Disney content creator was—let alone think I’d be one.

In today’s episode, I’m rolling back the tape (yes, actual tape—shoutout to my fellow 90s kids with VHS collections) and sharing how I went from wedding videographer to full-blown Disney mom, making planning trips to Disney World stress-free, and magical. 

Spoiler: It involves a little bit of luck, a whole lot of research, and some very questionable business names along the way.

So, if you’re a mom balancing kids, chaos, and a love for planning trips to Disney World—or maybe just dreaming about turning your own passion into something bigger—this one’s for you.

Let's chat about how this whole wild ride started. In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • How one wedding changed everything—and sent me on a path toward becoming a Disney content creator (completely by accident).
  • The surprising ways my wedding videography career actually helped me master planning trips to Disney World (turns out, brides and Disney moms have a LOT in common).
  • The Instagram moment that sparked my pivot from filming “I dos” to being a Disney content creator and helping moms who are planning trips to Disney World.
  • Why I almost named my business something truly terrible—and how it finally evolved into what it is today.

So tell me—if you could start a business around your biggest passion, what would it be? Let’s talk over on IG: @somewhereworthwhile. I’d love to hear your dream (or just your best Disney memory).
