Episode 183: Instead of Guilt

In this episode, I dive deep into the often overwhelming feelings of guilt that many brides experience during wedding planning.While guilt can serve as a useful signal in some contexts, I highlight how an excess of guilt—particularly that which is unproductive—can lead to stress and anxiety, undermining the joy of what should be a celebratory time.It's entirely normal to feel guilt, especially for those raised in environments where it's a common emotional currency. However, acknowledging that gratitude can shift everything for the better is key. I want to remind you of the beauty inherent in weddings, the importance of recognizing love, and how expressing happiness through gratitude can enhance relationships.What you’ll learn from this episode:The weight of guiltTransforming guilt into gratitudeEmbracing gratitude in our livesFeatured on the show:Follow me on Instagram to learn more about navigating your wedding with grace and ease: https://www.instagram.com/karaghassabeh/Check out **The Bridal Prep Academy:** https://karamaureen.comLet’s connect on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KaraMaureenBridalCoachingGet your copy of the book, **Whispers to a Bride:**https://www.amazon.com/Whispers-Bride-handle-stress-drama/dp/B0BCRXBQFN/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1UXWJVJOF3MNI&keywords=whispers+to+a+bride&qid=1662643892&sprefix=whispers+to+a+bride%2Caps%2C141&sr=8-1
