94: Bachelorettes & Wedding Culture


Listen Later

Why do celebrations surrounding weddings bring out so much stress, pressure, and weird tension in friendships? Today we’re talking about bridal showers, bachelorettes, weddings, and how these milestones quietly become overwhelming for everyone involved.

In conversation, we cover:

  • How weddings shifted from celebrations into multi-event marathons
  • The role social media plays in raising expectations around “perfect” moments
  • Why bridesmaids often feel stretched thin — financially, emotionally, and logistically
  • The friendship strain that shows up when expectations aren’t clearly communicated
  • What weddings reveal about boundaries, loyalty, and showing up for each other
  • How to approach these events with more honesty, flexibility, and care for everyone involved
  • If you’d like to support the show one of the best things you can do is leave us a review and share the pod! THANK YOU!
