222. Hayley Paige: Paying $263K in court to get her name and career back?! From lawsuit to liberation, BTS of reclaiming her name, continuing her career in wedding dress design, and the road to get there!

This week, Jason is joined by entrepreneur, fashion designer, and America’s favorite bridal expert on TLC’s Say Yes to the Dress, Hayley Paige formerly known as Cheval!

Previously when Hayley Paige was on the podcast, we discussed her impressive rise to success in the fashion industry. However, that success eventually led to her being in a legal hot set when she was sued by her former employer on control of what believed was her own brand and social media accounts and even her name, forcing her to give up much of her hard work that she put in throughout the entirety of her career.

Hayley opens up about the significant changes in her life since her last appearance on the podcast. She discusses the challenges she faced, including being unable to use her own name to continue her career as a wedding dress designer due to a federal lawsuit. She shares the pivotal moment that turned the case in her favor, and how unexpectedly landing in bankruptcy court ultimately became a major win. Hayley reflects on the difficult decision to write a check in order to regain her freedom, the experience of speaking before Congress, and the profound impact of her unwavering support system and community. She also touches on the positive influence of her relationship, what her next business venture will be, her top wedding advice for brides, and her non-profit, A Girl You Might Know.

Hayley reveals all that and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!
