This week we’re joined by Karie from SSY (She Said Yes) in Oklahoma—an incredible wedding planner who believes supporting couples emotionally is just as important as planning the details. 💛

Karie shares the real emotional challenges brides and couples face, how to stay grounded when planning gets overwhelming, and simple wellness practices to protect your peace before and after the big day. If you’ve been feeling stressed, stretched, or unsure how to navigate the emotions of wedding planning, this episode will help you breathe easier.

A must-listen for any bride or couple who wants a wedding season that feels joyful, healthy, and truly connected.
