A not-so-wise woman in the movie “Bride Wars” once said, "you don't alter Vera Wang to fit you, you alter yourself to fit Vera!” and it’s lived rent free in Victoria’s head until today! On this candid solo episode, Victoria opens up about the pressures of being a bride and why she will NOT be “shedding for the wedding.” Victoria shares what’s been keeping her up at night + more wedding day fears like why she’s not doing a first look, why weddings are low-key wrapped in patriarchal notions, and why we need to stop pressuring women to be glorified versions of themselves on their wedding day. She also finally tells us about her experience wedding dress shopping! Why she did AND didn’t cry, the offensive comment a sales associate said about her body, and how she actually knew her dress was “the one”. Whether you are a bride or have an event coming up this year, this episode is a must listen! (PLUS: Victoria has some exciting Galentine's Day news you won’t want to miss!!!
