028 - Hustle Culture

031 - Sharing is Caring

There's something about seeing another human spotlit in some capacity that looks like you, thinks like you, talks like you, and overall just seems similar to you. Engaged couples are no different when they scroll through Instagram's Explore page, swipe up on their For You Page, and pin on their wedding Pinterest boards. They are looking for wedding aesthetics, budgets, and people, that they can relate to in order for them to build their own wedding dreams. However it seems that the mainstream does not want to highlight everyone; the publications and the feeds tend to have a pattern of aesthetics, budget, etc. It's a big ick and one that we talk about in this episode because regardless of how much they spent, where they are getting married, and what their overall wedding is, every wedding is shareable. ------- Instagram: @‌behindtheaislepodcast Email: behindtheaislepodcast@gmail.com Website: www.behindtheaislepodcast.com Submit your anonymous WTF Wednesday stories on the website!

030 - Oversharing vs. Authenticity

As wedding vendors, we all feel the pressure and, for some of us, the want to be relatable and authentic to our couples. However that seeking relatability and perception of being authentic can quickly turn into over sharing. Where’s the line? What’s too much? Is there such thing as too little? We’re diving deep into where the boundary should and shouldn’t be. ------- Instagram: @behindtheaislepodcast Email: behindtheaislepodcast@gmail.com Website: www.behindtheaislepodcast.com Submit your anonymous WTF Wednesday stories on the website!

029 - Idolizing "untouchables"

They’re the people you look up to when you first break into the industry. You buy their courses, attend conferences when they’re keynote speakers, and register for the retreats they host. You like all their posts, comment and DM them. You join their facebook groups and ask for advice. Overtime, you find yourself idolizing them; wanting to become just like them; take all the business advice from them. But when do you take it too far? What’s the boundary? We’re talking about idolizing the “untouchables”; The celebrity like people who were once in your shoes. ------- Instagram: @‌behindtheaislepodcast Email: behindtheaislepodcast@gmail.com [behindtheaislepodcast@gmail.com] Website: www.behindtheaislepodcast.com [http://www.behindtheaislepodcast.com/] Submit your anonymous WTF Wednesday stories in our DMs!

027 - Imposter Syndrome

Though not a real medical diagnosis, it is something alllll of us have gone through and many of STILL do: imposter syndrome. It's hard to make a name for yourself and to build something from the top. Throw in the mental load and fear of not being good enough with a side of comparing yourself to others and you've got yourself overthinking whether you were cut out for what you started in the first place. We dive deep into our feels in this one and want you to know you are not alone in this! ------- Instagram: @behindtheaislepodcast Email: behindtheaislepodcast@gmail.com [behindtheaislepodcast@gmail.com] Website: www.behindtheaislepodcast.com [http://www.behindtheaislepodcast.com/] Submit your anonymous WTF Wednesday stories on the website!
