#44 On Being Considerate

Here at The Big Wedding Planning Podcast, we want to take a little step back. A deep breath. And talk about perspective. We know wedding planning is fun and all encompassing and, at times, very stressful. We talk about weddings on the podcast and we hope we make your planning experience easier and more interesting. We hope we give you permission to DO YOU, and to truly take in the whole experience. But we want to also acknowledge that life doesn’t stop just because your wedding is coming up. We realize that you may be going through other BIG life events at the same time you plan your big day. So in today’s episode, we just want to take the time to consider the big picture.

Big Takeaways

You may be dealing with something really hard, or complicated, or super celebratory while you plan your wedding...and to that end, we suggest taking care of yourself and your needs. This is easier said than done. We get it. So if you need a reminder to take the time and love yourself, and work it out, just listen to this episode again! And maybe consider a therapist and meditation. Self care is of the utmost importance!

Reversely, while you are blissfully planning your wedding and living in perfect wedding planning land, someone you love may be going through something not as awesome. So try to be sensitive to that. Ask questions! Don’t forget to diversify your conversation points. No one wants to hear about your wedding allllllll the time, trust us.
