Was that an appointment or a therapy session?


Listen Later

Let’s be honest — being a bridal consultant isn’t just about dresses. Some days, it feels like you’re part stylist, part hype girl… and part therapist.

From managing mum’s opinions, bridesmaids in competition, emotional brides, and even total breakdowns in the fitting room — this role asks a lot from you emotionally. But no one ever trains you on that side of the job.

In this episode, we’re getting real about:

  • The emotional load of bridal consulting
  • When “being nice” turns into people-pleasing
  • Why emotional boundaries protect your energy and the bride’s experience
  • What to do when a bride trauma-dumps on you (and you're still supposed to sell a dress)

If you’ve ever left a Saturday feeling emotionally drained and wondering, "Was that an appointment or a therapy session?" — this one’s for you.

You’re not alone. You’re just a bridal consultant doing 17 jobs in one. 💍🧠
