IM BACK!!!! I missed my podcast! Todayyy we talked about my wedding and some of the smaller details I loved and what we decided to do! I also talk about some of the ways OCD tried to show it's ugly head while getting ready for the wedding. One of the main ways was through a black and white mindset when it came to sex. I open up about that a bit and also some other random themes.

I also talk about my main wedding tip which is to remember why you are planning the event in the first place and that helps me not feel overwhelmed with no purpose hahaha We end the episode with answering a few quick questions!!
