S2 E9 : Snow, Ski Boots & "I Do", Yes, There's Still Time for a Winter Elopement
WINTER IS COMING! (Cue in John Snow) sorry I had to. Anyway...
Snowy mountains, cozy cabins, and a few ski runs after saying "I do", winter elopements are a whole vibe. If you're ready to get married, you don't necessarily have to wait until summer.
In this episode of Happy Eloping, we're talking about what makes a Colorado winter elopement amazing and the realities you need to plan for. From cold temperatures and shorter days to mountain access and weather backup plans, we'll cover how to create a day you'll actually enjoy.
Plus, we're diving into winter activities, cozy celebrations, and ski elopements. Because marrying your favorite person and then heading down the mountain together? Pretty freaking cool.

S2 E8 : Thinking About a Spring Elopement in Colorado? Listen to This First
Spring in Colorado might sound like wildflowers, sunshine, and perfectly snow-dusted peaks, but the reality can look more like mud, slush, brown hillsides, closed mountain passes, and four seasons before lunch.
In this episode, I'm breaking down the Colorado reality nobody puts on Pinterest: mud season. We'll talk about when it happens, what mountain towns actually look like during spring, which activities and locations may be inaccessible, and how to decide whether a spring elopement is right for you. Mud season doesn't automatically mean a bad Colorado elopement, you just need honest expectations, flexibility, and a solid backup plan.

S2 E6 : The World Could Use More Kindness
This episode is a little different. We aren't talking about elopement timelines, mountain locations or Jeeps. Instead, I'm sharing some personal thoughts about kindness, motherhood, grace and the kind of person I want to be.
Life has a way of making us busy, guarded and quick to judge—but everyone around us is carrying something we may never see. I'm talking about the ways motherhood has changed my perspective, giving other people grace, setting boundaries without becoming hardened and remembering what actually matters beyond work, success and social media.
I haven't mastered any of this. Consider this a reminder for me just as much as it is for you: life is already hard enough. Let's try to make it a little lighter for the people around us.
