Keep, Cut, Fix: What to Carry Into the New Year as a Wedpreneur
Podcast Episode Show Notes
The start of a new year often comes with pressure to do more, change everything, or start over. But for many Wedpreneurs, especially those navigating changing capacity or new seasons of life, that approach simply isn’t sustainable.
In this episode, Leigh introduces the Keep / Cut / Fix framework — a simple, grounded way for Caribbean Wedding professionals to decide what actually deserves to move forward into the new year. Instead of chasing motivation or setting unrealistic goals, this episode focuses on clarity, boundaries, and intentional decision-making.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or unsure how to approach the year ahead, this episode offers a calmer, more thoughtful way to begin.
In This Episode, We Cover:
Why the traditional “new year, new goals” mindset doesn’t work for many wedpreneurs
How motherhood, life changes, and capacity shifts affect the way we build our businesses
What the Keep / Cut / Fix framework is and how it helps create clarity
How to identify what’s already working in your wedding business
Why cutting certain services or tasks isn’t failure — it’s leadership
How fixing existing offers can be more powerful than creating new ones
The Keep / Cut / Fix Framework Explained
Rather than adding more to your plate, the Keep / Cut / Fix framework helps Wedpreneurs slow down and make intentional decisions:
Keep what is already supporting you financially, emotionally, and practically
Cut what no longer fits your capacity or current season
Fix what has potential but needs refinement, not removal
This approach allows you to move forward with clarity instead of pressure and build a business that supports your life — not competes with it.
Building a Business That Supports Your Life
This episode also touches on how success and sustainability look different in different seasons. Leigh shares personal insights on how motherhood reshaped her capacity and why protecting time, energy, and boundaries is essential for long-term success in the wedding industry.
By focusing on what truly matters, Wedpreneurs can build businesses that feel aligned, profitable, and sustainable — without burning out or starting from scratch.
