Description
Wedding Photographers and self-proclaimed Mental Health Aficionados, Ashley Akin and Chris Cerna dive into conversations surrounding the silent struggles of the modern engaged couple. They break down practical methods for dealing with the comparison trap, handling conflict while planning a wedding, exploring tools to up-level communication while regularly utilizing the enneagram to improve your mental health and relationships. The wedding industry has unintentionally perpetuated a culture of chasing perfection at the cost of couple’s relationships and mental peace. Together, they work to empower engaged couples to pop the perfection bubble, embark on the journey of self-awareness, forge their own wedding planning path, and ultimately cultivate a healthy and thriving marriage.
