This week we are joined by mental health and body image advocate, and host of the Real Pod podcast, Victoria Garrick! She is here to discuss all things wedding planning, starting off with her engagement story and how it all happened. They get into the inevitable and relatable pressure that comes with being a bride, and the pressure that society puts on us to "shed" for the wedding. Then, Victoria talks about how her dress shopping experience was and yes - not crying when she found "the" dress (and that's OK!). She also shares tangible tips on how to handle comments made about your body throughout the wedding planning process. Plus, she shares how she came to her decision to do a first look and why it's so important to her to have a positive wedding mindset. To close the show, they end with a Game of "Unpopular Opinions," including who should see your dress before the big day, donut walls, and Sunday weddings. Learn more about your ad choices.
