If you’ve ever had ghost or spirit experiences, and you’ve been scared or “unnerved” of these experiences- this episode is for you. We got weird in this episode and explored some of our personal first-hand experiences “beyond the veil” of our day-to-day lives, as well as discussing the emotional health demands of the event industry (and what you can do to nurture yourself to bounce back quicker.)

Meredith Tanton is co-owner and principal designer at Sweet Grass Social -- an exceptional luxury event planning company here in Charleston SC. Meredith and her business partner Jacqueline have been in business for the past 11 years in Charleston and are truly some of the "OG"s of our event community; we've had the privilege of working alongside their incredible team and documenting their gorgeous events for several years now. Without further ado -- I give you the lovely Meredith Tanton!
