How to Build a Business That Pays You and Protects Your Peace with Marisa Carrillo

This week on The Mami Collective Podcast, Paulina sits down with Chicago event planner, coach, and multi-business owner Marisa Carrillo for the kind of conversation every ambitious mom needs in her back pocket: how to build a business that actually supports your life — not consumes it.

Marisa gets real about what people romanticize about events (the pretty photos) vs. what’s actually happening behind the scenes (emotional labor, all-nighters, decision fatigue). She breaks down the systems and boundaries that keep her booked, paid, and sane — including her PTBR framework (priorities, time blocking, boundaries, and rest), why undercharging will literally train people to value you less, and how to raise your rates without spiraling into people-pleasing. 

If you’ve been doing “the most” for “not enough,” consider this your sign: we’re building smarter this year.
