Ring, ring! It’s 1-800-Bridesmaid. Author and pro bridesmaid Jen Glantz brings her hit newsletter to life in this judgment-free zone for all your burning real wedding, love, and friendship drama questions—plus expert advice to help sort it all out.
In this episode, Jen is joined by wedding planner and founder of The Privilege Is Mine, Lara Mahler, to tackle one of the most common—and exhausting—wedding problems: refusing to ask for help. Together, they unpack why so many brides take on everything themselves, how that snowballs into stress, and how to let others step in without feeling like a failure.
Plus, a caller confesses that she’s DIY-ing her way into panic attacks, sleepless nights, and strained relationships because she just can’t let go.
Episode Highlights: • Why asking for help doesn’t make you weak—it makes you wise • The art of delegating without losing control • How to balance your vision with what others want to contribute • The hidden emotional toll of “doing it all” • Tips for letting loved ones back in after you’ve shut them out
If you’ve ever felt like wedding planning became a second (or third) full-time job, this episode is your permission to put the glue gun down and let someone else hold it.
