We can carry stories, expectations, quiet rules ab We can carry stories, expectations, quiet rules about love and marriage, we didn’t even know we believed.⁠ ⁠ In her latest blog, the wonderful @natalie.eft.therapist unpacks how our early relationship blueprints—what we saw, heard, and felt during our childhood—can shape how we connect, argue, and love.⁠ ⁠ The good news? Once we see the patterns, we can choose differently.⁠ More awareness. More intention. More connection. ⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in our bio to read more (and find out more about Natalie’s upcoming workshop!).⁠ ⁠ Photography: @1franjorgensen1 ⁠ ⁠ [Image description: Two brides walk hand-in-hand through a lush, green park on a rainy day, each holding a bright red umbrella. One bride wears a tailored white suit and holds a bouquet of pastel flowers. The other bride wears a flowing white lace dress with a slit and also carries a bouquet. They smile at each other, sharing a joyful and intimate moment beneath the trees. The scene is vibrant, romantic, and full of personality, with the red umbrellas adding a bold pop of colour against the natural backdrop.]⁠ ⁠ #PolkaDotWedding #FeelGoodWeddings #AustralianWeddings #AustralianWedding #PolkaDotWisdom #WeddingPro #WeddingVendor #WeddingProfessional #WeddingInterview #WeddingStory #WeddingStories #WeddingMemories #WeddingInspiration #WeddingInspo #RealWedding
