Ep 9 - Maximalist Things We Can't Be Bothered With

Maximalist Life

Episode Summary:

Maximalism—it’s a vibe, but also kind of a headache. In this episode, we dive into the love-hate relationship with doing the most—when we embrace it, when it overwhelms us, and when we’re just going through the motions because, well… expectations.

We’re talking everything from over-the-top beauty routines to home decor that looks stunning but is basically useless. Do we love it? Do we regret it? The struggle is real. We also get into the pressure of throwing elaborate parties (because let’s be honest, themed events are a lot), and how holiday decorating can quickly go from festive fun to a full-time job. At what point are we doing it for ourselves, and when is it just for the ‘gram?

And of course, we couldn’t wrap up without talking weddings. Brianna spills on planning two big weddings (because one just wasn’t enough, apparently), and we break down the appeal of micro-weddings vs. full-blown extravaganzas. Spoiler: Sometimes, less really is more.

Get ready for laughs, some hard truths, and maybe a little self-reflection—because let’s face it, we’ve all been guilty of doing too much at some point.
