This week’s episode is a must-listen for any bride-to-be feeling overwhelmed, overcommitted, or just over it. Licensed psychotherapist and bridal coach Sarah Laka joins Adriana to break down why so many brides are secretly miserable during the wedding planning process—and how to get your joy (and sanity) back. From the pressure to be “perfect” to the family drama no one warns you about, Sarah offers tactical advice and compassionate insight on how to walk down the aisle without losing your mind.

 Episode Highlights:

 • What is bridal coaching—and why more brides are turning to it over therapy

 • Social media, comparison, and the myth of the “perfect” wedding

 • Indecision, anxiety, and the fear of getting it wrong

 • The uncomfortable truth about money, budgets, and boundary-setting

 • How to navigate tricky convos with parents, in-laws, and partners—with grace

 • Why the most powerful thing a bride can do is… enjoy it

If you’re deep in the wedding planning weeds or feeling the pressure to perform, this episode is the reminder you didn’t know you needed: you’re not alone, it doesn’t have to be perfect, and you deserve to actually enjoy your engagement.
