When concern is just convenience in disguise.
In this episode, I unpack a shocking wedding submission involving fake concern disguised as kindness, a bride who secretly made her friend the point of contact for the entire wedding, and the painful realization that some friendships only exist when someone needs something from you.
I also get into wedding hot takes, listener confessions, and the reality of one-sided friendships. On a side note: Drama Ever After is on the lead with big changes and updates!
