One-year podcast anniversary, wedding hot takes, and a family feud that turns an engagement into all-out drama. This week, I dive into a listener story about toxic relatives, broken trust, and the difficult decision to protect your peace, even if it means leaving family off the guest list.

Apparently, drama never stops!

This week, we are celebrating a major milestone: the one-year anniversary of Here Comes the Drama: A Ferris and Sloan Story. There are also exciting updates on book two, Drama Ever After.

Before I get into the wedding story, I delve into wedding hot takes and a wedding dilemma involving a vow renewal with one big question: if your family made your wedding miserable ten years ago, do they deserve an invitation this time around?

Then we're moving into the spotlight, where a sweet engagement turns into family conflict and financial tension that completely broke a mother-daughter relationship. Will this bride make it to the altar with her peace intact?

From cutting off toxic behavior to considering wedding security, this story is a reminder that protecting your peace sometimes comes with hard decisions.
