About this listen

 Wedding planning is often portrayed as the happiest time of your life, but the reality can be overwhelming, exhausting, and filled with pressure. In this episode, Natasha and Kassidy dive deep into the concept of "Bridal Burnout"—what it is, why it happens, and how to navigate it without losing your joy. Whether you're crying over napkin colors or feeling the weight of social media expectations, this episode is a reminder that you aren’t alone and you aren’t failing.

In this episode, we discuss:
  • Defining Bridal Burnout: Understanding the emotional, mental, and physical fatigue that comes with planning a wedding.

  • The Warning Signs: How to recognize if you're burned out, from decision fatigue and anxiety to the "need to perform" for others.

  • The Sources of Pressure: How social media "highlight reels," family expectations, and internal pressures to look a certain way contribute to burnout.

  • Actionable Solutions: Practical tips for delegating tasks, setting boundaries (like "no-wedding-talk" zones), and the benefits of seeking professional support through therapy.

  • The Boutique Perspective: Insights into how burnout manifests during dress appointments and how to make finding your dress a stress-relieving experience.
