Episode 184: Beginner’s Mind - Bridal Edition

In this episode, I delve into the concept of a beginner's mind, through the lens of the bridal experience. I reflect on the importance of approaching wedding planning with a sense of openness and curiosity, much like a child exploring something new for the first time.This perspective encourages brides to embrace the journey rather than being bogged down by checklists or societal expectations. I share how the pressure to create a "perfect" wedding can often lead to disappointment and stress when reality doesn’t align with preconceived notions.The journey of being a bride is inherently a first-time experience for most, which can be daunting. As I emphasize the importance of treating oneself with kindness and gentleness, I encourage brides to allow themselves the space to make mistakes. Each misstep is an opportunity for growth, and recognizing this can alleviate some of the pressure associated with planning a wedding.What you’ll learn from this episode:Embracing openness in wedding planningThe importance of acceptanceWhy it’s ok to be a beginnerFeatured 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
