In this episode, I delve into the theme of vulnerability and the importance of allowing others to support you, especially as you navigate significant life events like weddings.

We explore the emotional complexities that arise during the wedding planning process. Many brides face lingering fears and anxieties, and this conversation serves as a reminder that there is no right time to seek help.
