Here Comes the Drama with Christa Innis

59: Copycat Rings, Serial Cheater and Trusting Your Intuition — with Beth Hoffberg


Listen Later

If the universe sends you red flags before the wedding… should you walk away?

This week’s episode is pure chaos, the kind that keeps escalating until you’re just saying “No way.” A custom engagement ring copycat, a mom who tried to wear white, a drunken brother peeing in venue plants who ended up in jail, and a groom who never stopped cheating. What started as young love quickly spiraled into generational patterns, manipulation, and betrayal.

Then, Christa sits down with certified life coach and tarot reader Beth Hoffberg to unpack intuition, soulmates, generational patterns, and the uncomfortable truth about obstacles before marriage. When is it just wedding stress… and when is it the universe trying to tell you something? If you’ve ever ignored your gut, this one’s for you.
