The arguments during wedding planning are rarely a The arguments during wedding planning are rarely about the thing you're arguing about.⁠ ⁠ For our Mindful Issue, we asked four experts to help us name what's actually going on when wedding planning starts to feel like too much. The emotional weight, the unexpected guilt, the arguments about seating charts that aren't really about seating charts.⁠ ⁠ Psychologist @drannabatho, counsellor and kinesiologist Carolyn King of @empowered.happiness, mindfulness coach @sachastewart_⁠, and confidence coach @fionaspence_noexcuses all weighed in, and what they had to say is worth reading, whether you're deep in the planning trenches or just starting out.⁠ ⁠ Link in bio to read more!⁠ ⁠ [Image description: A red graphic tile with white text reading: "Most arguments aren't really about the wedding. They're about feeling unheard, unsupported or overwhelmed." – Caroline King, The Mindful Issue."]⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #PolkaDotWedding #FeelGoodWeddings #TheMindfulIssue #MindfulWeddings #MindfullyWed #IntentionalWedding #SlowWedding
