The Bingo Card Check-In: Progress, Perspective, and a Little Industry Tea
Episode 316: In this episode, Lori and Vonda flip their 2025 Bingo Cards and reflect on what actually got done, what didn’t, and why that matters.
From surprise home projects and travel wins to the realities of burnout, distraction, and the importance of being “bored,” the conversation turns thoughtful, honest, and relatable. They also look at Flower Clique’s business goals, where progress was made, and where clarity and systems still need work.
The episode wraps with a little industry “water cooler” talk—what conferences are coming up, where the team will be teaching and learning, and why getting out of your shop and into the room still matters.
A candid conversation about intention, reflection, growth, and giving yourself permission to adjust—without guilt.
