Most of us are sold a fairytale: the perfect proposal, the dream wedding, the happily ever after. But what happens when that fairytale feels more like a prison of "shoulds" and expectations? You rip up the rulebook and create your own.
In this deeply personal and hilarious solo episode, Dr. Jenny shares the real story behind her recent shotgun wedding.
After a nearly three-year engagement stuck in procrastination, she reveals how a practical need for health insurance became the unexpected permission slip to ditch the traditional wedding script entirely. From officiating their own ceremony on a beach to navigating family disappointment, this is a masterclass in choosing authenticity over approval.
If you're feeling pressured by a societal timeline or a life that doesn't feel like yours, this episode is your sign to f*ck the fairytale and do whatever you want.
