  • 31: Hired Bridesmaids, Fake Weddings, and a Parking Lot Party with Jen Glantz
    My new book Here Comes the Drama: A Ferris and Sloan Story is live! Get the book! Weddings and meltdowns? A tale as old as time. In this hilarious and heartfelt episode, Christa chats with Jen Glantz, professional bridesmaid and founder of Bridesmaid for Hire, about the chaos, comedy, and confessions that come with walking down the aisle. From makeup disasters to fire alarms (yes, really), we hear a wild listener story that proves a great attitude and a solid DJ can save any wedding. Jen also shares her bold take on why the bridesmaid tradition might be on its way out — and we are HERE for it. So grab your glass of champagne and tune in for secrets, laughs, and a whole lot of drama. Because if it didn’t go off the rails at least once, was it even a wedding? Must-Hear Insights and Key Moments When Makeup Goes Rogue – One bridesmaid's obsession with touch-ups led to mismatched foundation and delayed the entire glam schedule. A perfect example of beauty chaos in action. Locked in the Bridal Suite – Just minutes before the ceremony, the bride was accidentally locked in a historic art museum room by a kid… and had to be freed by maintenance. The Corn-on-the-Cob Catastrophe – Steam from dinner set off the museum’s smoke detectors, forcing a full-on evacuation mid-wedding. Yes, over corn. Dancing in the Parking Lot – With no venue access, the bartender rolled out drinks and the DJ kept the party going outside. Crisis = avoided. The Uninvited Plus-One – An estranged wife of a guest showed up unannounced and partied like she was on the list. Because of course she did. The Case for Bridesmaid Extinction – Jen shares her spicy hot take that bridesmaids aren’t just unnecessary, they're on their way out completely. Strangers Are the Best Listeners – Jen opens up about why she connects more deeply with strangers than friends, and how that makes her job as a pro bridesmaid uniquely powerful. Chaos, Confessions, and a Wedding That Still Won – Despite the disasters, the couple (and their guests) still call it the most fun wedding they’ve ever been to, and that’s the real win. About Jen: Jen Glantz turned a closet full of bridesmaid dresses into a bold idea: what if you could hire a professional bridesmaid? After joking about always being a bridesmaid, a lightbulb moment, and a Craigslist ad, led to 250+ inquiries in two days. In 2014, she launched Bridesmaid for Hire, offering unbiased support in a $300B wedding industry. Since then, Jen’s helped hundreds of clients, trained a team of pros, and become the go-to expert on wedding chaos, featured on the TODAY Show, GMA, and more.

  • 29: Sister Betrayal, Blood on the Dress & Wedding Regrets with My Best Friend, Ivette Bracken
    My new book Here Comes the Drama: A Ferris and Sloan Story is live! Get the book! What do you do when the person who’s supposed to love you the most becomes your loudest bully? In this episode, Ivette and I dive headfirst into the betrayal, the shame, and the silence that followed. We talk about what it means to grow up misunderstood, to be mocked for your mental health, and to finally say, “I’m done.” If you’ve ever had to protect your peace at the cost of a relationship or felt that sick gut-drop when someone weaponizes your vulnerability this one’s for you. It’s raw. It’s painful. And it might be the most honest we’ve ever gotten. Must-Hear Insights and Key Moments Blood on the Wedding Dress Christa shares a surreal moment at her dress fitting involving actual blood and the wild way it was handled. Private Tears vs. Public Panic Ivette chooses where she'd rather break down on wedding day, sparking a convo about emotional safety and stage fright. Therapy or Voice Notes? A lighthearted but revealing take on whether pre-wedding therapy trumps endless best friend venting. The Dress Fitting Breakdown Christa unexpectedly spirals while recalling her fitting fiasco and finally tells the story in full. Boundaries, Brides, and Breakdown Moments The duo unpacks what it really takes to stay sane and self-respecting in the pressure cooker of wedding culture. The Speech That Cut Deep At the rehearsal dinner, her sister mocked her mental health journey in front of everyone—with a cruel “joke” about her depression that left the room stunned. Golden Child Gone Rogue The submitter opens up about growing up in her sister’s shadow—the loud, confident sibling who never took her mental health seriously and finally crossed the line. Depression Isn't a Punchline Christa and Ivette get real about how damaging it is when mental illness becomes a family joke—and why staying silent is no longer an option. About Ivette: Ivette is a mommy, a wife, and a psychotherapist in training. She loves girl talk and giving unsolicited advice. She's all about conversations that matter because she believes people matter. She was also Christa’s Maid of Honor in her wedding.  Join the Drama with Christa Innis: Website Tiktok Instagram YouTube Facebook Get ‘Here Comes the Drama: A Ferris & Sloan Story’ on Amazon Got Wedding Drama?

  • 28: Relationship Red Flags, Family Dynamics, and a Shocking ICU Revelation with Kate Gray, LMFT
    My new book Here Comes the Drama: A Ferris and Sloan Story is live! Get the book! “You're just the mother of his child.” That one sentence cut deeper than any legal document could fix. When a tragic motorcycle accident left her partner in a coma, our storyteller learned the hard way what “not being married” really meant. What followed? A secret wedding, a livid mother-in-law, and a decades-long family rift and guest Kate Gray dissect this jaw-dropping submission with raw empathy, real questions, and a heavy dose of “WHAT just happened?” They unpack what happens when legal ties or the lack of them collide with family loyalty and personal boundaries. Also in this episode: ruined wedding invites, Karen-level MIL energy, and the emotional weight of doing what's best for your own future  even if it means letting go of your past. If you’ve ever doubted whether the legal stuff really matters, this story will have you rethinking everything. Must-Hear Insights and Key Moments Life-Changing Crash – A traumatic brain injury left her partner in a coma… and her completely powerless. Locked Out of the ICU – Despite living together and raising a child, she was denied access to his medical care by his own mother. Secret Wedding Surprise – They threw a barbecue that turned into a surprise wedding… and the MIL didn’t know until the cake rolled out. Family Fallout – What followed was over a decade of strained family dynamics, emotional boundaries, and financial detangling. Power of Legal Ties – Kate and Christa explore how love, legality, and next-of-kin status affect real lives in unexpected emergencies. Enmeshment & Control – What happens when parents can’t emotionally separate from their adult children? Boundaries vs Protection – Should you tell your partner everything—even when it might hurt them? MIL Chaos Strikes Again – Christa shares the viral story of a MIL destroying wedding invites out of spite. About Kate: Kate Gray, better known online as Codependency Kate, is a couples therapist, married mom, and refreshingly real voice on all things relationships. With a deep understanding of family systems, emotional boundaries, and the unspoken chaos behind “normal” wedding and marriage dynamics, Kate offers the kind of education you wish someone had given you sooner. Her mission? To help you stop blaming yourself and start understanding the why behind your relationship struggles. Kate doesn’t just talk theory, she gets into the messy, emotional, behind-the-scenes stuff that can make or break partnerships, especially when family dynamics, trauma, or toxic in-laws get involved. Her content bridges the gap between formal therapy and real-life application, empowering listeners with language, tools, and clarity to protect what matters most.
