WHY is this important?

The lie of the wedding industry:

There’s this weird lie in the wedding industry that wedding planning is expected to be hell for 6-18 months and then somehow brides will forget about all that and have an incredible time on the day-of. But human memory doesn’t work that way.

We all know how easy it is to receive tons of praise and still focus on the one piece of criticism. This is normal and natural human behaviour, and – yes – it applies to weddings.

Wedding planning brings up the baggage of you and apparently everyone around you. It’s supposed to be a happy time, but “we all know” in reality it sucks.

But what if it didn’t suck?

What if, instead, it was not only fun and fabulous, but also gave you the opportunity to become the person you really want to be?

The most common experiences of wedding planning:

Recently, I surveyed brides on their experience with wedding planning and emotional support. Here are the most common issues experienced:

85% Anxiety (50% reported stress-related physical illness)
77% Body image issues
73% Financial worry
66% Time management stress
59% Indecision or self-doubt
56% Conflict with parents
52% Conflict with future spouse

The main causes of conflict were managing expectations and control issues (both others’ and their own).

38% also experienced post-wedding blues, lasting from one week to more than 6 months after the wedding.

BUT some women had the opposite experience: They LOVED it.
Why?

Brides who reported feeling emotionally supported during their engagement, said the wedding was a major source of motivation to accomplish long-desired life goals on a deadline. Brides experienced:

  • Improving their physical and mental health

  • Changing their diet and exercise

  • Trying out new classes

  • Developing relationships with their in-laws

  • Paying off debt

  • Saving more money than ever before!

The possibility for positive change is astounding.

What inspired this project?

Hundreds of brides! After working with 200+ couples and families over the last 10 years, none of the above stats came as a surprise. No one – from the most “normal” families (there’s no such thing, by the way) to the most eccentric – escapes wedding stress… And that is okay.

But what an opportunity to really heal. What a gorgeous, glorious opportunity to finally obliterate the patterns not serving you. To start your marriage off on the right foot. To set the foundation for a lifetime of strong, healthy relationships with your in-laws. To step into your power and become the woman you’ve always known you could be.

Change starts here: learn the most radical, effective, loving tools and practices in the industry, and make this year – and right now – the beginning of the life you love.

Why is it less than $300 for such a huge selection of classes??

Lots of people sign up for expensive online courses but never complete them. I really want you to access the benefits of The Course lessons. I’ve seen how good it can be on the other side! …But The Course isn’t designed for you to do ALL of the lessons in full. Every bride is different, with unique challenges that require unique solutions. So The Course is designed as a buffet: you can sample each lesson and find the one that works. Find the teacher whose style speaks to your heart!

All of the lessons will always be there for you to use, but if you find even a handful of tools you can use on the regular, your life will change, truly and deeply. This is my intention for you.

I want you to know the secrets to getting exactly what you want, and knowing you deserve it. I want you to to feel happy and delighted and turned-on and motivated and excited – for your wedding and your life.

To hire any of the coaches or therapists teaching this course would cost between $250/hour to $6500/month. And normal online courses can cost from $650-900 or more. Not everyone can afford those prices. I want all brides to be able to access the tools to create your best self, at the height of this milestone in your life.

Understand this: your wedding planning is the start of your wedding.

It should be treated with the same delicacy and specialness as your actually wedding day. Your mental health this year will impact not only your wedding day and memories, but also your marriage and your new family life. Set yourself up for love and happiness, growth, adventure, connection, compassion and joy.
