Whispers to a Bride: Emotional Insight for your Wedding Drama

A really fun way to get back to peace is by connecting to your bridal bigness.

Bridal Bigness is the idea that you, as a bride, are part of a much bigger energy, and that energy has the peace, power, and emotional capacity that you need.

Your bridal bigness is the antidote to fear, anxiety, stress, overwhelm, people pleasing, and insecurity. It is your creativity, your calm, your grace. It’s the quiet sense deep within that trusts things will be ok, somehow.

In this episode, we will discuss how your bridal bigness is something you can tap into on purpose when you feel like you’re feeling drained, stressed, or depleted

Let’s talk about the touchy situation of prenups.

This can be an uncomfortable conversation to have. The automatic response can be to be offended.

We don’t want to ever think that our marriage could end.

I want you to think about prenups the same way you do a fire escape plan. You never want to think that your house will catch on fire but you want to be prepared.

In this episode, I am going to help you think of prenups differently and in a loving way.

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.

Kairos moments are about intangible things like connection, flow, and celebration and a kairos moment is so powerful it can sustain you for years.

In this episode, we talk about the concept of time and the not so subtle pressure on women to time this wedding perfectly.

I have noticed with brides and weddings, it really brings out this perfectionist monster.

There's all of a sudden this idea that their wedding should or could possibly be perfect, and they should look perfect and act perfect and everyone else should be perfect.

The whole thing just takes on a life of its own and the perfectionist, the bad part of perfectionism really comes out. I get that it feels really true that you are a perfectionist, you have a very keen eye, you have a high standard, you have a specific sense of style you are very professional, and you want everyone else to be very professional and only submit the highest standard.

In this episode, we are discussing how there’s no perfect bride or wedding and why it’s impossible to leave space for the imperfect.
