Women Road Warriors

Weddings are supposed to be joyful celebrations, but they can also be a minefield of expectations, family dynamics, social pressures, and etiquette dilemmas.
Who pays for what? Is it okay to invite someone to the bridal shower but not the wedding? How should couples handle destination weddings, gift registries, social media, online RSVPs, and difficult family situations? And what happens when modern wedding trends collide with traditional etiquette?
In this fun episode of Women Road Warriors, Shelley Johnson and Kathy Tuccaro welcome Lizzie Post, great-great-granddaughter of etiquette icon Emily Post, co-president of the Emily Post Institute, and co-host of the Awesome Etiquette podcast.
Lizzie shares insights from her new podcast, Emily Post Wedding Stories, inspired by research for the upcoming book Emily Post's Wedding Etiquette. Through conversations with married couples, she explores the real stories behind weddings—the planning, the surprises, the challenges, the lessons learned, and the advice couples wish they had known before saying "I do."
Together, Shelley, Kathy, and Lizzie tackle some of today's biggest wedding etiquette questions:
• Who is responsible for paying for what?
• Are digital wedding invitations acceptable?
• What is proper etiquette for destination weddings?
• How should couples and guests handle social media?
• What should you do if you never receive a thank-you note?
• Are some modern wedding expectations crossing the line?
• How can families navigate wedding conflicts with grace?
Whether you're planning a wedding, attending one, helping a family member prepare for a big day, or simply curious about modern manners and relationships, this episode offers practical advice, memorable stories, and timeless wisdom for navigating life's most important celebrations.
If you've ever wondered what Emily Post would say about today's weddings, this conversation is for you.

What happens when you're told your dreams are impossible?
When Michelle Huntington pursued aviation, she was told women shouldn't fly. One person even claimed women weren't physically suited for the cockpit.
Michelle refused to accept someone else's limits.
She went on to become one of fewer than 500 female airline captains worldwide, spending more than two decades making critical decisions at 35,000 feet where waiting for perfect information simply wasn't an option.
Those experiences taught her a lesson that applies far beyond aviation:
The greatest risk isn't being wrong. It's not deciding.
Today, Michelle is a TEDx speaker, corporate trainer, and author of Lady MacGyver: Unbelievable Stories with Altitude. She helps leaders, entrepreneurs, and individuals navigate uncertainty, communicate effectively, and find calm when the pressure is on.
In this inspiring conversation with Shelley Johnson and Kathy Tuccaro, Michelle shares lessons on resilience, confidence, decision-making, leadership, and trusting yourself when the path forward isn't perfectly clear.

Whether you're facing a career challenge, a major life transition, or an important decision you've been putting off, this Women Road Warriors episode will encourage you to move forward with courage and clarity.

Did you know that by age 32, women may have already lost up to 90% of their eggs? For decades, women have been told they can “have it all” — career success, love, family, and freedom. But few are told how fertility and biology truly fit into that equation.

Dr. Knopman breaks down what every woman needs to understand about fertility, infertility, egg freezing, delayed motherhood, reproductive health, and the biological clock. She challenges the myths and misinformation surrounding women’s fertility and explains why understanding your options earlier can empower women to make informed decisions without fear, shame, or regret.
A nationally recognized fertility expert, cancer survivor, and mother of two, Dr. Knopman has been featured in Oprah Daily, Vogue, Women’s Health, Wired, NBC News, and more.
In this episode, learn:
• Why fertility is not fair to women
• What causes infertility
• The myths surrounding infertility and egg freezing
• What women should know before delaying motherhood
• The reality of the biological clock
• Fertility preservation and reproductive options
• Workplace options that may pay for the freezing of eggs
• The emotional and cultural pressure surrounding “having it all”

If you are thinking about motherhood now or in the future or simply want honest information about women’s health and fertility, this conversation could change the way you think about your future.
