Helloooo and welcome back to the Montana Diaries Podcast, I’m Shayna and I’m so freaking stoked you’re here because on today’s episode we have the lovely Geomyra Pollard, an incredible wedding planner turned business coach who is all about serving creatives, professionals & working parents who are ready to live a life filled with grace, passion & purpose!

A chat w/ Geomyra Pollard, life & business coach
Geomyra is a wife, mom, and business coach — she is a former wedding professional, so we obviously had a tonnnnn in common! Being a wedding and event planner for twelve years lended itself well to stepping into the coaching space, and Geomyra uses her past business experience to help her clients today.
Geomyra is a huge proponent of getting things right from the beginning — she encourages her clients to set up their systems in business from the get-go, and to build on a strong foundation.
While building her wedding planning business, Geomyra had to deal with seasons of grief while simultaneously learning the importance of systems — her business bookings exploded amid some of the hardest times she’s had.
Shortly after Geomyra finished her master’s degree, she was diagnosed with fibromyalgia.
“For me — I thought, do I leave while I’m on top? Or do I wait until I screw something up and leave in a puddle of tears? I knew I was going to school to do other things, but I thought I would do planning and coaching. But no. I’m a woman of faith, I knew God had other plans for me. ”
Looking back, Geomyra knows it was the right move to transition into full time coaching because she is able to deliver a boutique experience for her coaching clients. She is big on time freedom, especially with helping fellow parents manage their time with systems.
I highly, highly, highly recommend this podcast episode for EVERY creative business owner struggling with finding purpose. My key takeaway from Geomyra is how important it is to establish systems earlyyy in business so that when life happens, the business continues to run and clients continue to be served well.
