• This Week is all about Bridal Mindset. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is the central theme of the work I do with my clients. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Yes, we strategize how to handle the bridesmaid dramas, family conflicts and tensions with your fiancé. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But what's under everything is learning how to think more beautifully, how to choose your thoughts with intention. How to stay in control of what's happening in your own mind. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Because you can't have a crappy journey to a happy day. You can't stress and suffer through the planning and think you will magically have the best day of your life on your wedding. It doesn't work that way. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Get started with some easy mindset shifts with my Bridal Guide. Link in the Bio!

  • What does drunk you say? 🤔 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There is an Irish saying that goes- the truth comes out when the spirits go in. 🍀 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And I think it's pretty true. We've all had those drunk nights with our friends and some pretty significant revelations were made. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm not saying to make your biggest decisions while drunk but I am saying don't ignore what comes out after a couple glasses of bubbly. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Cheers 🥂

  • Stop Trying to Regret Proof Your Wedding (and your Life)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ One of the reasons we get so tangled up trying to make decisions is because we are so afraid of the regret we might feel in the future. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Which is funny because you are literally just afraid of your own future harsh criticism. You're trying to outwit your future self mean girl. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So instead of playing that exhausting game, why not just remind yourself that in the future you can choose kind thoughts, you can have your own back. You will be able to craft the narrative and how it feels to look back. The whole notion of regret then just falls away.

  • This week we are talking about how to make decisions. Specifically, drama free decisions. The ones that don't entail entain sleepless nights and polling ten friends. This is one of the timeless classic sources of bridal stress but there is a way around it that will leave you will more energy, clarity, and stronger relationships. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A trick I love to use with clients who are stuck in indecision is to take the phrase I don't know off the table. I don't know is just a default response, a dead end. It's also not true. Because on some level, you do know what you want, there are just reasons you don't want to know or are afraid to know what you know.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So when you find yourself spinning in I don't know, ask yourself this- What if I did know? Just pretend that you do know and see what you come up with. Asking yourself that question can loosen things up and get you out of the not knowing groove and into the knowing that is always there. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ DM me if you need help getting of I don't know land :)

  • Bridal Identity⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You've thought about this day your whole life. You had a picture of who you'd be on this day- how you would look, how you would feel, what it would all mean. Your mental image of yourself was always in the future as a placeholder. By your wedding day, you would have it all figured out- perfect skin, finances in order, fabulous friendships. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Except when that day comes and you're still you- with the same body insecurities, family issues, and career stresses. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Not to mention that now you have a whole host of new things questions making you feel less sure of yourself:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Am I changing my name? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When do I want to try for kids?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Where are we spending the holidays?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How do I be a good daughter-in-law?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How do I cook healthy meals for the next 20 years? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What happens with my career when kids do come?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Don't tell me the bridal blues are about spoiled girls with too many dress options. It might look like that. But underneath it, there are real identity issues being worked out. If it feel like you're having an identity crisis- it's because you are. And it's ok. But it goes a lot smoother when you have the support you need. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ DM me if you have any questions!
