Manage episode 480917502 series 3563454
Feeling overwhelmed by wedding planning—and all the family drama that comes with it? You’re not alone. In this powerful episode of The Snagged Podcast, wedding expert and educator Sarah Lizabeth shares real stories (including one with a screaming mother-of-the-bride 😳) and her best advice for navigating difficult conversations with clarity, calm, and confidence.
After two decades in the wedding industry, Sarah has seen it all—passive-aggressive parents, uninvited opinions, power struggles over the guest list, and emotional tension that no timeline or budget tracker can fix.
Whether you’re dealing with:
A family member who doesn’t approve of your partner,
Pressure from someone funding the wedding,
Or subtle guilt-tripping disguised as “I don’t care—do whatever you want”...
This episode gives you the tools and words to set boundaries without burning bridges—and reminds you that you’re allowed to plan a wedding that actually reflects YOU.
