Summary
In this episode, I talk about what feels out of my control right now and how I’m navigating letting go. I share details on exciting work things ahead like bringing some new changes to the show, taking a hiatus for the first time, and building out the new podcast studio in Jersey. I also talk about the overwhelming thought of having a third kid right now. Later in the episode, I bring on my cousin Carly to talk about her recent wedding and challenges of the planning process. We dive into dealing with comparisons, the process of picking a wedding dress, highlights of the wedding day, and why it's crucial to focus on the reason you're getting married in the first place.
