Take the High Performer Stress Assessment → http://higheralignmentconsulting.scoreapp.com I thought wedding planning would be stressful because of the logistics, but I realized the hardest part had nothing to do with vendors or timelines. It was the vulnerability of being seen and allowing people to celebrate me. In this episode, I share how planning my wedding uncovered a deeper belief that I have to earn love instead of simply receiving it. We explore how nervous system regulation, trusted relationships, and challenging old stories can help us let people show up for us. Whether you're planning a wedding, celebrating a birthday, pursuing a promotion, or stepping into a new season of life, this episode is an invitation to stop shrinking yourself and start receiving the love that's already there.
