In this episode, I delve into the profound concept of pain and suffering through the lens of wedding planning—a time that can unveil a myriad of emotional challenges and relational dynamics.

With the experience of guiding brides and couples through the tumultuous journey of planning their big day, I explore the Buddhist teaching of "two arrows," which offers insightful lessons on how we can navigate the inevitable struggles that arise in our lives.

I share effective strategies for managing our reactions to life's challenges, particularly during the emotionally charged process of wedding planning. It’s important to acknowledge your feelings without judgment, allowing space to experience hurt while resisting the urge to spiral into negative self-talk or blame.
