2022/09/28

There is a poem I put at the beginning of my book, Whispers to a Bride, called When Death Comes. The concept of both poetry and weddings is so compelling to me. Weddings and poetry sort of get shunned and discarded a bit culturally because they do seem frivolous and extra and not useful. I decided to include this poem that has been special to me. I think it encapsulates why this work matters. In this episode, I dive into this poem and what it means to being a bride. What you’ll learn from this

I have so many women who come to me with this feeling of unsettledness and feeling a little bit of grief and anxiety about just saying goodbye to their old lives.

2022/08/17

One of the best ways to address so much of the wedding drama you experience is a really simple, beautifully elegant practice of asking WHY.

Becoming engaged changes how a woman sees herself. For some, it’s the completion of an aspect of their identity.

This feeling of time collapsing around a wedding makes people intensely invested and erratically emotional in surprising ways. Weddings are important in terms of chronological times that we count with years and days but it’s also important in the other sense of time known as kairos or deep time.
