Episode 245 - Wedding Planning Hiccups, Pursuing Higher Education and Cozy Home Fall Tips (WWYBD?!)

Written By Allison Wetig
 

WWYBD (what would your bestie do) is where we answer listener-submitted questions. You can submit questions any time via our website, and then we pull questions to fit a specific theme.

 In the catch up segment, Allison and Ceara share the highlights of their week for the first 20 minutes of the episode. Ceara went to Colombia for a Mizzou football game and is excited about getting her front porch redone. Allison had a lot of success finding items for her fall wardrobe at a vintage clothing market. We both share progress updates of their "curriculum" studies (tune into last week’s episode). Then we discuss the societal pressure of quick communication expectations due to the accessibility our phones create. 

In the WWYBD part of the episode, we talk about the complexities of wedding planning in a way that avoids drama, the opportunity of going back to pursue higher education when you’re age 30+, and explore tips for creating a cozy home environment, emphasizing the impact of aesthetics, intention, feng shui and personal touches.

WWYBD QUESTIONS:

  • A couple of months after we had set our wedding date we had found out that one of our friends set theirs the night before ours… I don’t want to burn a bridge but maybe it was a sign that we don’t need to be friends anymore?

  • Currently working at an awesome organization with a great tuition reimbursement program. I am thinking about going back to school to get my masters degree - and my employer would pay for 75% of it.  Would love to hear how women are juggling life and school and work and home and family etc all at the same time?! This just seems like something I can’t pass up. 

  • How to make your home more cozy/a place you love being?

TAKEAWAYS:

  • Balancing responsibilities can be challenging, but it's manageable with planning.

  • Investing in higher education is a great opportunity, especially with employer support.

  • Creating routines can help manage time effectively during busy periods.

  • Friendship dynamics can change, and it's important to navigate them thoughtfully.

  • Asking for help is crucial when juggling multiple responsibilities.
