72 | The Emotional & Physical Toll of Weddings & How to Recharge After Busy Season
Wedding season takes a toll on all of us — emotionally, physically, and mentally — and as wedding pros, we often put everyone else first while pushing through our own challenges. In this episode, I’m sharing openly about the weight we carry during the season, from difficult clients to personal struggles we work through quietly, and even the physical exhaustion of long wedding days.
I’ll also share practical and restorative ways to recharge, reset, and re-energize before diving into all those projects you’ve been saving for the off-season. Think staycations, massages, creative hobbies, rest, and reconnecting with community. This is your reminder that you’re human first, wedding pro second, and you deserve to fill your cup back up.
Whether you’re wrapping up your last wedding of the year or still in the thick of it, this episode will encourage you to pause, rest, and prepare to thrive in the season ahead.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
The unique emotional toll of being a wedding pro (and why our work can feel heavier than other industries).
Personal stories from my own career, including tough seasons and missed family moments.
The physical demands of long wedding days and the importance of recovery.
Practical ways to re-energize after wedding season: rest, self-care, staycations, hobbies, and movement.
Why community is a powerful form of self-care, and how to connect with peers who truly “get it.”
