94: Bachelorettes & Wedding Culture

Description

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
