62. Checking In + Being Excited To Shoot Gay Weddings Doesn't Make You An Ally

Send Wildly Connected a Text! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2080415/fan_mail/new] How is everyone holding up? This week we check in about all that's happening, learn about the lesbian flag and have a little bit of an uncomfortable conversation on something I get a little firey about. Specifically: the way some straight vendors get excited about photographing queer weddings not because they care about our community, but because it makes them look cool, inclusive, or “good.” olive's tiktok [https://www.tiktok.com/@digital.olive?_r=1&_d=secCgYIASAHKAESPgo8OyhD6XW4y53E3uX%2BIhhKnTq49rvHodvZtWBBxvQyF1ptv%2BHq3OT%2F3ZsFBOVuma1nr2%2BdRvAUW8HhhmsqGgA%3D&_svg=3&checksum=e862e87b5e7a524886b74f8350eeb76f767b446209a5251d8450cfa6b5380976&sec_uid=MS4wLjABAAAAT78GjUpd_9E6nT6ki7Gau7x_QyaIYnFtSfnCAAx_GoDJ3IWe5-bWsz71Yh2nuJv_&sec_user_id=MS4wLjABAAAAGPAfkHgdUudQzrwzG3s02Nkkb72DE0BX00q2MoxSbhiQTakgRaRiU9nWEsEAyIng&share_app_id=1233&share_author_id=6639877189125242885&share_link_id=2C46A756-F26D-4EDE-B0DD-F554CB1B0EAE&share_scene=1&sharer_language=en&social_share_type=5&source=h5_m×tamp=1750279135&tt_from=copy&u_code=da28hd7856cj86&ug_btm=b2878%2Cb5836&user_id=6773887643789952006&utm_campaign=client_share&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=copy]where I learned about the lesbian flag - follow them!

61. Confronting Problematic Vendors – From Both Sides of the Aisle

Send Wildly Connected a Text! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2080415/fan_mail/new] today we’re diving into a topic that’s not always comfortable but so important: confronting problematic vendors. Whether you're a couple planning your wedding or a vendor working in the industry, you’ve probably witnessed or experienced something that made you think, “Yikes… what do I do here?” We’re talking everything from microaggressions to “wow… that REALLY like REALLY should have been an inside thought” moments, and how to handle these moments with clarity, care, and courage. We'll look at this from both perspectives: how couples can respond, and how vendors can step up and hold each other accountable. I learned about this week's "Know Homo" segment from HERE [https://www.instagram.com/p/DJcJSBEM4p9/?img_index=8]. HERE [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2080415/episodes/16694033]is the episode on more red flags.  'm so glad you joined!
