Episode 124: Bailing as a Bridesmaid

What do you do when you are asked to be a bridesmaid and you said yes but as the wedding approaches you start to realize that you can’t do it? Today I explore the strategies for having uncomfortable conversations and highlight the importance of coming to the table with a genuine approach and treating the issue as something that you and your friend can tackle together. I also caution that the other person may have a devastating reaction to the news, and it's important to offer empathy and space for them to process their emotions.
