This week, we dive into everything wedding-related, in what is surely to be the first of a few episodes on this topic as we follow along with Amanda’s own planning journey. Whether you’re getting ready for your own nuptials or supporting a friend as they prepare for theirs, we get real about how to navigate the journey ahead and where to begin.  In this episode, we cover what to think about when you start planning, how to keep it true to you and your partner, and for those buying a dress - how to manage the expectations that go with it! Question to Ponder: What age do you feel, and what can you do today to embrace that age?

Befriending Our Bodies: Changing Our Thought Patterns Around How We Look In a world that is focused on our outward appearances, we’ve noticed a shift in our awareness around our bodies that has come with the onset of this new decade.  In this week’s episode, we get honest about the parts of ourselves that have made us uncomfortable in the past, reflect on missed experiences because of our body image challenges, and talk about our hopes for the future.  From challenging the way we think to confronting the ideals that the patriarchy has pushed upon us, this episode is one of our most vulnerable discussions yet.

As you switch out your wardrobe for the next season, find that piece of clothing you’ve been hanging onto but haven’t felt comfortable enough to wear.  Set a date for yourself and put it on!
