Have you ever wondered what would happen if you arrive at your long-awaited wedding day totally exhausted & overwhelmed?
Do you find yourself waiting for the day to be over?
By not being present & feeling happy in yourself on the day, it might be your biggest regret for many years.
Sadly for too many, this is their reality.
But, It does not need to be like that.
Too many brides are forgetting about looking after their own well-being. They're so busy executing the planning and chasing suppliers, writing invites, liaising with caterers to even consider how they are really feeling.
From the outside looking in, being a bride can appear to be such a whimsical & romantic time. One to envy. But in reality, it’s the time in a woman’s life they can feel most isolated & overworked.
There are some emotions you might find yourself thinking about. Often you may not realise how deep those feelings are impacting your mental health.
