Carrie-Ann Loves Boundaries
Manage episode 407440680 series 3560250
Something I help my clients with over and over is boundary-setting (and boundary-maintaining, arguably more challenging).
Boundaries are going to come up when you're wedding planning, in part because the simple act requires a renegotation of entrenched family dynamics. Dealing with toxic family or family drama while planning happens to nearly every couple. In the episode, I address the ones I see most commonly, and respond to a listener question about managing divorced parents who can’t stand each other.
It’s a huge topic to cover, but boundaries are a very important part of my life, and the way I support my clients, from figuring out what the wedding of your dreams even looks like, to deciding on the perfect guest list (and how to manage input about it) and determining how involved your parents will even be in the wedding planning.
But always, always - I want you to be planning to be *married*! So figuring out how to defend your new family and be a team are integral to my work (and boundaries are a major part of being a solid team).
This isn’t the first time I've spoken up about boundaries, and it won’t be the last - and I know there are haters out there but they’re not my people. ;)
