2023/02/01

There has been so much talk about Megan and Harry with the Netflix series that came out. This had me thinking about how a bride is a disruptor.

Wondering how to deal with your bachelorette part when you have different friend groups? This is a question I got from one of my one-to-one bridal coaching calls.

There are just so many details, and when you really think about a wedding. If the whole idea is just two people getting married, besides that, everything else is just details.

Gratitude is the key to your whole wedding experience. I know it can be really trite or obvious or too basic. But it’s fundamental.

2022/12/07

We are taught to think that getting engaged and planning our wedding are moments of joy, excitement, accomplishment, success, and a feeling of wholeness, completeness, integrity, and all of these things. But they never feel the way we thought they were going to feel. It's always a bit more disorienting, complex, and overwhelming while being very underwhelming at the same time.

In this rebroadcasted episode, we are talking about the holidays - so many images of family togetherness, elaborate meals, festive decorations, favorite movies, gorgeous gifts, and lots of laughter (or this is what Hallmark movies make us believe it should be). But the holidays can be a source of anxiety, overwhelm, frustration, and sadness for a lot of people. This makes the holidays a lot like weddings, in our mind it’s all pretty and happy and fun but in reality, it’s so much more complicated

Today I really want to bring it back to basics and talk about the subtle shift. It's all about that shift that happens in our relationships when we get engaged and start the wedding planning process.

Feeling doubt about your relationship when you are newly engaged or even knee-deep in wedding planning is a scary place to be. Nobody wants to feel doubt when they've got that diamond ring on.
