How do you balance motherhood, relationships, and entrepreneurship when it feels like all three need you at the same time?

In this episode of The Aisle, I'm sharing an honest look at what life really looks like behind the scenes. Not from someone who has it all figured out, but from someone who is constantly trying to find her footing, recalibrate, and do the best she can.

As a business owner, partner, and mom of five, there are seasons where everything feels aligned and seasons where it feels like I'm barely holding It together. I’m talking about mom guilt, burnout, marriage, asking for help, setting boundaries, and the reality that balance isn't permanent, it's an ongoing practice.

If you've ever felt stretched thin, overwhelmed, or like you're failing at one thing while focusing on another, this conversation is for you.

Because none of us are doing this perfectly. We're just learning as we go.

In this episode of The Aisle, Trista and Aaliyah are going to dive into one of the biggest reasons brides feel overwhelmed during wedding planning: they don’t truly know themselves yet.

With endless inspiration online, outside opinions, family pressure, and trends constantly changing, many brides begin planning without knowing what they actually like, what matters most to them, or what kind of experience they want to create. The result....confusion, frustration, decision fatigue, and a wedding that can start to feel more like a performance than a reflection of who they are.

This conversation is all about helping brides discover their personal style, identify what truly matters to them, and learn how to confidently make decisions throughout the planning process.

Because the best weddings are not the trendiest weddings they’re the most authentic ones.

In this episode of The Aisle, I’m getting real about something no one talks about enough in entrepreneurship… how hard it is not to take business personally.

As a luxury wedding planner and business owner, I’ve spent years building BTS Event Management and pouring everything into my team, my clients, and my vision. Nothing about this journey is easy and when you care deeply about what you’re building, it is nothing but personal.

This isn’t a how to episode. It’s an honest look at what it really takes to build something meaningful and the challenges that come with it.
