What happens when wedding planners invest in their education? Co-host Krisy Thomas, Vice President of the CWP Society, interviews three award winning, Master Certified Wedding Planners and Industry Advancement Directors, who reveal the transformative power of professional certification in this candid conversation that goes far beyond basic credentials.For Brianne Ackerland, certification turned a hobby into a thriving business after she sought education to balance motherhood with entrepreneurship. Now ten plus years into her journey, she continues finding value in ongoing education: "I'm still learning new things, and that's one of the huge things I value about what the group has to offer."Nicole Martinez brought years of experience to her certification journey but discovered unexpected benefits. "It changed how I viewed myself," she reveals, explaining how validation from peers and structured workflows revolutionized her business approach. Her powerful insight about confidence resonates with planners at all experience levels. For newer planner Brittney Poole, certification provided critical pricing guidance and client targeting strategies. "I am super confident that I'm charging at the level I need to be," she shares, detailing how education helped her find work-life balance while raising two young children.Perhaps most remarkable is how these competitors-turned-collaborators exemplify the community-over-competition ethos. "We don't consider ourselves competition," Poole explains about her relationship with fellow Virginia planner Martinez. "We both serve a different clientele and know what works individually for our businesses."Looking to transform your wedding planning career?

J.Lo and Matthew McConaughey star in one of the most early 2000s rom-coms of all time, complete with a near-death meet-cute and a love triangle that ignores all workplace ethics. But is The Wedding Planner actually romantic...? Or just a lesson in emotional cheating? This week, comedian Liza Treyger joins DB to unpack the film's messy gender politics, its weird obsession with wedding culture, and why Steve might be one of rom-com history's most gaslight-y love interests. GUEST DETAILS Named one of Variety's “Top Ten Comics to Watch,” and a comic who 'shines where sex and politics intersect' by The New York Times, Liza's first ever hour-long comedy special entitled “Night Owl” is heading to Netflix and will drop globally on January 28, 2025. It comes on the heels of “Glittercheese,” a half-hour she taped for Comedy Central, as well as a half-hour she put together for Netflix's stand-up collection “The Degenerates.” A true multi-hyphenate, in addition to working in film and television, Liza hosts the successful podcast That's Messed Up: An SUV podcast (Exactly Right Media) which averages over half a million monthly downloads.

Have you ever wondered if God truly dwells within us?In today's episode, host Lauren Alessi explores this profound idea rooted in First John, chapter four. As she delves into the concept of divine love, she reflects on how acknowledging Jesus as the Son of God leads directly to God living within us. Drawing an analogy from a moment in the movie "The Wedding Planner," Lauren beautifully illustrates how love is intertwined with respect and trust. She emphasizes that this mature love transcends mere physical connections, empowering us to express the same love in our personal relationships.Join Lauren for this heartfelt devotional as she prays for guidance in understanding and demonstrating a deeper, more mature love, mirroring the love God has for His children.Tap HERE to send us a text!

From nightmare meetings with wedding planners, to renting a mansion & our "DIY" heavy approach, in this bonus episode you'll hear the full details of my own wedding planning journey. The couples who give up on the new approach to planning that we focus on here on the Wedding Planning Podcast will likely stay stuck exactly where I was in the story I'm sharing today, after meeting with the awful 3rd wedding planner. They'll do exactly what most couples do, and freak out over how much there is to do, how much things cost, and how complicated it feels to go off the beaten path … They'll cave when someone is critical of a fun idea, and pull back when they feel judged for something that they did or didn't do. John and I faced skeptical, judge-y eyes too many times to count throughout our entire planning process - but that's another story, for another time. And they'll fall back to the status quo wedding planners, the big corporate websites, and the free checklists to plan a cookie cutter wedding for them, without ever even knowing the priceless opportunity that has slipped away. The opportunity to design the wedding that YOU actually want, and to share a once-in-a-lifetime experience with your loved ones that leaves a lasting sense of love & connection for decades to come. And to miss out on that, is quite simply, heartbreaking. But here's the final, most important part of this very long email: Unforgettable, life-changing weddings don't just "happen". They don't just magically arise from the mountain of printouts and free checklists, and magazines, budget calculators and Pinterest boards and reels that you consume on loop. And just having a wedding vision isn't enough, without continued support, encouragement, and ongoing direction. So my wish for you is these three things: The patience to let your wedding vision fully unfold, The courage and confidence to trust in your vision, and let it guide all of your decisions, big & small, And the support and encouragement that I promise to bring each week to our time spent together. Thank you so much for being here today, and thank you for inviting me to be a part of such a special time in your lives - it means the world to me.   Cheers, Kara
