Some of the hardest lessons in business have nothing to do with strategy and everything to do with people.

In this episode of The Aisle, Trista kicks off the year with an honest, no-fluff conversation about the business realities most people learn the hard way: the difference between vendors who genuinely like you and vendors who like what you can do for them.

This isn’t about becoming bitter, it’s about becoming wise. Because as your business grows, your value changes… and so does how people treat you.

Trista breaks down how to protect your confidence without becoming hard, how to build a true circle of trust, and how to identify who is truly aligned with your growth versus who is simply drawn to your access.

If you’ve ever felt manipulated, underestimated, or like your kindness was mistaken for weakness… this episode will change how you move in business in 2026.

2025 was a year of uncertainty… and intentionality and it showed up everywhere: in weddings, in relationships, and in real life.

In this Year in Review episode of The Aisle, Trista and CJ break down the biggest shifts they saw in weddings this year, from budget pivots and smaller guest attendance to the growing impact of social media and design shifts like draping becoming the new floral focus.

But this isn’t just a wedding recap. This is a real, honest reflection on what 2025 taught them personally and professionally including burnout, losing yourself, and what happens when investments don’t pan out.

And because they’re bringing this conversation from both a male and female perspective, CJ shares what men often misunderstand, what men carry silently, and how men view relationship challenges differently.

If you’re engaged, newly married, or in a committed relationship, this episode will leave you feeling grounded, motivated, and ready to move into 2026 with clarity.
