Tips for the wedding party: The morning is NOT about you. Let it go,and move on. If you're not happy, don't bring it up. If something is going wrong, and you notice it, do NOT tell the bride.

I am so happy to share my podcast guest with you. I’m chatting with the sparkling Jen Glantz. Jen is the founder of the viral business Bridesmaid for Hire, the creator of the project Finally the Bride, the founder of the blog The Things I Learned From, the voice of the podcast You're Not Getting Any Younger, the founder of the coaching bizz Jen & Juice, and the author of the Amazon-bestselling books All My Friends are Engaged and Always a Bridesmaid for Hire.   As you’ll hear from our chat, Jen makes people feel empowered to go after their dreams and do what lights them up. Here are some of my favorite takeaways from our chat: Goal setting is key in life, but remember to focus less on the goals themselves and more on the progress you’re making. Everything takes longer than we expect, so start planning now for your goals so that you’re ready to go (with a plan in hand), when it’s time. When setting goals for yourself, look at the year in 90-day chunks rather than in a 12-month chunk; doing so will allow you to make progress and pivot when you need to. Healthy living means ditching the idea of perfection and opening yourself up to forgiveness.   Want to connect with Jen? You can do so via her website (https://www.jenglantz.com/), Bridesmaid for Hire (https://bridesmaidforhire.com/), Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/jenglantz/), and her podcast You're Not Getting Any Younger (https://www.anyyounger.com/).

Jen Glantz's story starts with a half-joking craigslist ad that went viral and turned into a business! When all her friends were getting married, Jen unintentionally became a “professional” at being a bridesmaid. So then, she successfully founded “Bridesmaid for Hire”: the world's first service where you can hire a bridesmaid to show up at your wedding, walk down the aisle, and give the maid-of-honor speech. Beyond folks hiring Jen to stand beside them on their special day, Jen is an author, podcaster, and speaker. We loved chatting with Jen about her business – especially all the juicy stories that come along with it. Jen does not hold back!

Traditional economic theory says that more choice should always be better than less. After all, if the cereal aisle has corn flakes, honey nut corn flakes, toasted coconut corn flakes, chocolate corn flakes, multi-grain flakes, and all the rest, you’ll surely be able to find the breakfast carbs that suit your taste buds perfectly. But it turns out that, in certain situations, more choices can be counterproductive.In this episode of Choiceology with Katy Milkman, we look at how having too many options can sometimes produce anxiety, reduce satisfaction, and even lead us to abandon the decision we’d planned to make altogether.You’ll hear from professional bridesmaid (yes, that’s a real thing) Jen Glantz about her experiences supporting brides through the many decisions they face in planning a wedding. Jen has seen it all: the fatigue, the indecision, the anxiety, and the emotional toll that can result from managing myriad choices while planning the big day.Jen, herself, is now engaged to be married. But rather than subject herself to that giant list of wedding day choices, she has come up with a clever plan to offload the decision-making effort.Jen Glantz runs Bridesmaid for Hire and is based in Brooklyn, New York.  Barry Schwartz is an academic authority on this phenomenon. His book The Paradox of Choice challenged traditional economic theory about the utility of ever-expanding options in prosperous societies. Barry joins Katy to explain where choice overload occurs, and where it doesn’t, and to discuss the benefits of satisficing when it comes to choosing televisions or restaurants or blue jeans. Barry Schwartz is the Dorwin P.

This year I the most grateful for all of the things I lost.   I lost my favorite pair of socks in an AirBnB in Brooklyn that I spent 30-days living in because when it was time to pack up and leave, I forgot to grab them from the 8 layers of blankets that I used to keep me warm.   I lost muscle on my arms because I traded in many workout sessions for nap sessions (this is something I don't regret).    I lost my promise of always meeting deadlines because I never wrote the 50 pages of a new book I told my wonderful book agent I'd write by the end of October (this is something I DO regret).   I lost a best friend of 7 years who one day, out of the blue, told me that she didn't want to be friends anymore. Her reason? I still do not know.   I lost my temper a couple of times on the people I love the most because they said things that I knew to be true but didn't want to admit that because I'm inherently stubborn, and also, I like to learn things the hard ways (sorry mom).   I lost my motivation, some days, to do much more than get out of bed, brush my teeth, and go through the motions of being a human.   I lost my desire to care about the little things, like big bugs crawling in the apartment, or a mattress that was less comfortable than sleeping on the ground, or having only cold water in the shower, because living out of a suitcase, in a new home every 30-days, for over a year, breaks you down....in a really good way.   I lost $25 at a casino in Colorado Springs, I lost 3 pairs of headphones, I lost a fully loaded MetroCard, I lost a few pounds, then gained them back, then lost them again, then...you get the hint.   So why this year am I choosing to be thankful for all that I've lost?   Because we all lose things in our lives and some are irreplaceable and other things are past-due to leave, and though we try to hold on and chase and feel resentment, we must move forward, we must eyeball all that we have and be grateful before it too is gone.   Before we add it to our list, clean our hands of the past, and learn to inhale the future - even if's not what we imagined it would be.    Ps. Happy THANKSGIVING.

JEN GLANTZ Bridesmaid For Hire   EPISODE 14 SHOW NOTES   HIRING A BRIDESMAID   THE GAL PAL YOU NEVER KNEW YOU NEEDED   After standing beside so many brides throughout their wedding planning process over the past couple of years, Jen Glantz witnessed firsthand the stress that brides, and bridesmaids, experience and decided that there was a need in the wedding industry that wasn’t being fulfilled yet. That’s why she decided to write the Craigslist ad offering her services as a professional bridesmaid. After receiving an overwhelming response, she decided to turn it into an actual business in 2014, Bridesmaid for Hire, and wrote about the real-life adventures she found herself front and center at in the new book, Always a Bridesmaid (For Hire), available now.   How Jen got started as a professional bridesmaid? Does she actually walk down the aisle as a bridesmaid? Does she keep in contact with the brides after the wedding? What are the services she offers? The difference between her and a wedding planner?

It’s called “Bridesmaid For Hire” so people do hire me to be their bridesmaid, to put on the dress and walk down the aisle.”   “I am not a wedding planner in disguise. I am the people person in the wedding industry. I’m there to work with people and help them get through a very stressful day while taking on the role of their bridesmaid.”   “It is a real, genuine connection.”   “A lot of the reason people hire me is to put out fires or because they know they need support. A lot of my job is managing people.”   “I’m not the one you are hiring to set up your wedding and make your flowers look pretty. I’m the one you are hiring for real, honest advice with no strings attached.”   “Wedding nerves make people feel lots of different things and sometimes they may make them question the person they are marrying.”   “I wear the dress, I walk down the aisle, and give speeches.”   Links:   Manly Bands offer unique wedding bands all at an affordable price all for less than $200.

My (not so) Perfect Life Part love story, part workplace drama, this sharply observed novel is a witty critique of the false judgments we make in a social-media-obsessed world. New York Times bestselling author Sophie Kinsella has written her most timely novel yet. Everywhere Katie Brenner looks, someone else is living the life she longs for, particularly her boss, Demeter Farlowe. Demeter is brilliant and creative, lives with her perfect family in a posh townhouse, and wears the coolest clothes. Katie’s life, meanwhile, is a daily struggle—from her dismal rental to her oddball flatmates to the tense office politics she’s trying to negotiate. No wonder Katie takes refuge in not-quite-true Instagram posts, especially as she's desperate to make her dad proud.   Always a Bridesmaid...For Hire In the tradition of Sloane Crosley, Mindy Kaling, and Katie Heaney, a hilarious and insightful memoir about one New York City Millennial’s journey to find herself, her dream career, and true love, all while juggling a truly unique job as the world's only professional bridesmaid. After moving to New York City in her mid-twenties to pursue her dream of writing—and not living on the “Upper East Side” of her parents’ house anymore—Jen Glantz looked forward to a future of happy hours and Sunday brunches with her besties. What she got instead were a string of phone calls that began with, "Jen, I have something exciting to tell you!" and ended with, "I'd be honored if you would be my bridesmaid." At first she was delighted, but it wasn’t long before she realized two things: all of her assets were tied up in bridesmaid dresses, and she herself was no closer to finding The One. She couldn't do much about the second thing (though her mother would beg to differ), but she could about the first.

Jen Glantz has always known that she wanted to be a writer; what she didn't know that she would end up a bridesmaid, always. In 2014, after being in the weddings for several of her friends, Jen decided to go pro, and launched her unconventional business -- Bridesmaid for Hire -- which helps brides get down the aisle with the peace of mind of knowing someone is there (along with their bridal party) to help them no matter what kind of bridezilla moment they may have. Since the launch of the company, Jen has worked with more than 50 brides and has told her story to more than 500 press outlets, including the Today show, Bravo, Good Morning America, Nightline, New York magazine, Glamour, People and Elle. As Jen now prepares to fulfill the longtime dream of release her debut book, Always a Bridesmaid (for Hire), she chats with the Support is Sexy podcast about believing in your business in spite of the doubters (even when those doubters confront you on-air), how to move the needle with media coverage, and how to use failure and rejection to your advantage Subscribe to Support is Sexy podcast on iTunes or on Stitcher Radio!

Jen Glantz is the first professional "Bridesmaid for Hire" and after connecting via email I just had to know more. I admit I was skeptical of the idea going in and had a bunch of questions for Jen (who I found out quickly is absolutely awesome). The conversation was very enlightening for me! Being a bridesmaid is a huge job - so big, in fact, that you can now hire a pro. Enjoy this podcast episode of my talk with Jen, where she tells us all about: Why every bride could use her services (whether its being an actual bridesmaid or using her for consulting) What got her into the biz Why she's been peed on by many strangers Why it pays to have someone like her acting as a neutral party when it comes to families and big decisions How usually the bride is the only one who knows who Jen really is; sometimes even the grooms are led to believe she is an actual friend or family member of the bride and NOT a professional Why "people management" is essential What really goes down in the bathroom at weddings What she learned being a part of so many weddings What it's like having your own love life when you're surrounding by everyone else's love life all the time Why she thinks we do weddings wrong (and what we can do better) Doing things simply while still getting the most out of your wedding day Her goal of spending no more than $1,000 on her own wedding How to drill-down and figure out what matters to you, and how much you can spend on it How she can help you start your own business and share with you her own mistakes Why none of us really know what we are doing, and how to use failure to your advantage Links mentioned: Jen's book: Always a Bridesmaid for Hire, Available for pre-order on Amazon Jen's website: www.JenGlantz.com Jen's blog: www.thethingsilearnedfrom.com My book: The Real-Deal Bridal Bible, on Amazon
