We’ve been trained to fear divorce like it’s the ultimate wedding failure. But the truth is more complicated. Divorce can happen for all kinds of personal, valid reasons - and it’s not always a sign that something went wrong at the altar.
In this episode, I’m breaking down how the wedding industry itself - what I call Big Wedlock - often sets the stage for breakdown long before the honeymoon even begins. From performative planning to financial pressure, couples are handed a playbook that prioritizes image over intention and perfection over connection.
Let’s talk about what’s really going on behind the scenes, how to avoid the trap and what it means to build a wedding rooted in something stronger than surface - level success.
