It's wedding season! So let's dive into the world of weddings, particularly childfree weddings, and the significance of setting boundaries during this emotionally charged event.
Weddings should be about the happy couple but can also lead to truly toxic drama that rips families apart. Everyone has an opinion, and they all think theirs is the most correct. They're also steeped in tradition, that T-word that too often is a crutch for unhealthy behavior and expectations. So how did Jamie, a childfree coach, deal with the challenges she faced during wedding planning while also firmly holding to her boundaries—and do so with limited drama?
Key takeaways from this episode include:

1. That setting boundaries during wedding planning can be challenging, but effectively allows couples to avoid unnecessary drama and focus on having an intimate and supportive gathering of loved ones.
2. How boundary setting spills into all areas of life—not just for wedding planning! Being clear about your desires (like not wanting children), asserting yourself, and letting go of others' expectations is key to living a happier and more fulfilling life overall.
3. Jamie's example of how her boundaries allowed her to enjoy the vision for her wedding AND allowed for compromise with those problematic family members.
